    Thanks for the info, but I don't quite understand where this is currently at as far as a SimTools motion plugin is concerned.
    Does KartKraft have built-in SimTools motion (such as a plugin zip file somewhere in the KartKraft Steam game folder), or are the devs leaving it up to our fantastic plugin authors such as @yobuddy , @value1 , etc to make one?

    Looking at their Steam page, they mention the telemetry update along with SimTools, but don't direct us towards how to use it or if there is an actual SimTools plug-in available.
    "we've added support for streaming core data out of KartKraft as well as a SimTools plugin".

    https://steamcommunity.com/games/406350/announcements/detail/1610511561976904141

    That makes it sound like there is a plug-in available...somewhere.....but where?

    Would love to test it out if they did in fact develop a SimTools plug-in along with the new telemetry update.

    No there is no official SimTools plugin available yet.

    I had a go and building a quick version here a few days ago: https://github.com/black-delta/kartkraft-simtools

    But I have no SimTools license and could not test it. The plugin validator succeeds though.

    Yes, I see that.
    I was all excited to test it out for you, then realized that it's not in any format which I can drag 'n drop into the SimTools Plugin Activator Tool, such as something like "kartkraft_plugin.zip".
    Bummer!
    Oh well, the effort is much appreciated, and the sim is shaping up nicely with VR support and now the beginnings of telemetry as well.
    Cheers!!! :cheers

    Already sent... :thumbs

    I would also like to thank @Keir for supporting the community.
    It's not often you see a game publisher step in and build a SimTools game plugin themselves, really nice work!
    If you have a simulator, It's time to get your 'Kart' on! :cheers

    100%

    In the past I've reached out to several developers who have interesting games which would be great with motion, only to have it fall upon deaf ears.
    Motion platforms, both DIY & commercial are becoming more mainstream each & every day, and a lot of owners may purchase games strictly because of motion support.
    As most of these games are already a niche market, don't they realize that their lack of enthusiasm may also result in lost potential sales???

    BTW, I bought KartKraft on day one, as my gut told me that they were the real deal.
    Glad to see my instincts were correct. (for once ;))
    Thumbs up to both Keir & the SimTools community! :thumbs

    Hello everyone!
    When I play a game with simtools2.4 and kratkraft plug-in, the motion sim stops when the lap time starts measuring after passing the control line.
    What should I do?
