    So I'm running 6 transducers in my seat along side the 2DOF I just built. The two softwares run happily along side one another in all games aside from Dirt rally. If I start Dirt from inside sim commander then sim tools runs/ game manager recognizes I'm playing Dirt etc. but none of the data is showing up in the tuning centre. At this point this is perminant until I hard restart even if I turn sim commander off and stop it's processes in task manager.

    If I reboot and start Dirt via steam Simtools fires up and works perfectly but the attempted starting of SimComander doesn't output to the transducers.

    I'm running a oculus and 2 sensors without USB issues, and this works with all other games.

    Has anyone here had this issue? Or know what could make Dirt different than AC, iRacing, pCars?

    Ironically Dirt is one of the games that you really benefit from shakers to help produce the feel of rocks and gravel skiping across the skid plate, and the sidewalls shuddering around a hairpin etc.

    Thanks @noorbeast ! Apologies, I would have checked the FAQ after searching but felt it may have been a rare issue not a common one.
