    Hey.

    Searched around, found an old post that was of no use; I still have an issue - i can get 3dof motion working great in pcars 2, but no matter what i do gamevibe is not working/activating.

    I have updated the plugin, enabled gamevibe ( like i did for iracing/asseto corsa) - but.. nothing!

    Any ideas?

    It is annoying but I have to start SimTools, go to Game Manager and turn it off on the top left button to disconnect SimTools, then start PC2, the re-click the Game Manager button to On to reconnect SimTools, otherwise Game Vibe does not initiate, which is something @yobuddy may be able to investigate.

    Ah ok - thank you. I will try this. Do you use shared memory and udp set to pcars 2, or any other stuff i should know?

    I cannot get this working btw. I tried starting game manager, game engine - then gamevibe. Then turning off game manager. Then launching pcars 2 from steam - then as it starts up, enabling - doesnt work. Tried waiting until it was at menu before starting - doesnt work. Tried waiting until i was in game, before enable - doesnt work.

    I have tried udp and shared memory in all possibilities - doesnt work.

    Which version of gamevibe are you using and what plugin? Id love to make this work now, if possible at all!

    I am on SimTools v2.3.1 and use the original Pcars2 plugin: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/marketplace/pcars2-plugin.147/

    My problem is solved. It turns out, .. ..... ...... i didnt calibrate it with the tuning setup.

    Im a moron. I tried EVERYTHING else.. but forgot that. Maybe the manual should be rewritten to have all it has, but also have a small list of things you need to do in order - like that crucial step. its easy to overlook int he middle of it all!
