    Hello everyone, I am a newbie from China.

    After browsing all the posts about FORZA7, I successfully drove my two-axis SCN5 seat in the game. I want to thank you very much.

    But in the game, I feel that the reaction of the movement is not accurate, I tried to adjust the axis assignment, and even applied the distribution in AC, ACC, PC2 (because these 3 games run perfectly on my seat), But the effect is not ideal.

    If I adjust the MAIN LEVEL to 100%, the seat will keep shaking. In fact, the same phenomenon happened in my DR and DIRT 4 games. I have not solved it yet.

    I also read a lot of posts about learning debugging, but I still don't know where the problem is.

    Thanks for your reply, I have solved this problem today because I did not set the area and language to English in the Control Panel. Now my FORZA7 and DR are running perfectly, great.

    I'm having a strange problem with Forza 7.

    Motion works fine, but the problem is that whenever I enable it the game drops to an unplayable framerate of 20fps or lower.
    Without motion enabled it runs perfectly and with a high framerate.

    My system is an i7 9700k, 32GB's of RAM & a GTX 1080.

    Forza 7 is the only title I've cone across having this issue, so at this point I'm not sure if the problem is with the game, settings or the plugin itself.

    Any help or assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    I have not encountered the situation you said.

    FORZA7 runs perfectly on my computer, as does the motion simulator.

    Thanks.
    I see that the plugin author "value1" has recently updated the plugin on Jan 19th.
    I was using the older one.
    Hopefully that fixes it.
    Will test tonight.

    Since I didn't want to mess around with port forwarding on my router and other things, I used the loopback method instead, as described in the discussion section of the plugin download area.
    As stated, it does function with the older plugin and the in-game settings of "Output data enabled/127.0.0.1/4123", but the framerate drops below 20fps.
    Without Simtools open and the the plugin running the game runs as it should, although without any motion obviously.

    I vaguely recall this same scenario happening when I used to own a Next Level Racing v3 Motion Platform, so it may be an in-game setting I'm overlooking.
    I did try to set it to "60fps locked", but that didn't help, nor did any other of the in-game framerate settings such as "unlocked", etc.

    As it stands, it's a head-scratcher for sure! :think

    Woohoo!!!!

    Working like a charm with the latest plugin update!

    Now I'm curious to test it out on the XBox One X as well since I bought the game digitally and own both the PC & Console versions.

    :D

    The game's motion simulation feel is the best, smooth, and linear change in the games I've played. I believe that you will soon be intoxicated.
