    You were right :), game engine doesn't crash anymore, and iRacing now starts to load. All I did, is plug my motion right into USB 3.0 instead of 2 despite the cable being white and not blue. It turns out, it's a nice rhyme after all.

    Hi guys!
    After a bit of time without any errors reported, we think it’s time to put together the public beta.

    We have a lot to do in order to get everything ready for the public beta, like a completely new version of the back-end for the website, and a couple of things to finish off in SimTools itself. But for the most part, everything is fully functional and just needs to be finished at this point. So, in my mind, we are closing in on the beta of SimTools v3! :thumbs

    I also need to go thru all the plugins and look for anything that we may want to add as stated outputs for game dash (like speed, rpm etc...), as this will be our last time to do so. If I missed any you guys think should be included, please let me know. We will have a bit more info as we get closer to launching the public beta.
    Take care!

    Perhaps skim through the last couple of pages of the plugin request thread, some new plugins like Vector 36 will need to be added to the exiting list of plugins and there are some user requests that may be considered: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/game-plugin-requests.5839/page-36

    Awesome news bud! I've been enjoying my sim loads recently with the alpha.

    Personally for me, a F1 22 plugin as soon after release would be very helpful

    I vote for the plugins of RBR. The new version of RBR is even more popular than DR2.0 in China.

    Just to tell everyone here that I have ported "Elite Dangerous Horizon/Odyssey" from V2 to V3.
    Pushing it to the repro as I write this.

    @yobuddy Something seems wrong with the offset file not extracting...
    Installing via my export on my computer is working correcly, but downloading from the repro does not extract the offset file. (It's not even in the archive)

    We are currently updating to the beta back-end for testing. :thumbs
    Please be aware that the alpha server may be offline for a bit.
    This should get us 1/2 way to the public beta.
    Let me know if you run into any problems once the server is back online.
    Take care! :cheers

    Hi Guys, I have read everything and I wanted to thank you for all the work and passion you put into it.
    Some time ago, out of curiosity, I switched from simtools to SRS, but I'm not satisfied and now I'm returning with simtools ......
    I only play with iRacing and can't wait to download the new Simtools V3 and customize it for my self-built somulator.

    I am waiting for the countdown ..... and go !!!

    Hi @yobuddy,

    Great work on V3. If there was an RF2 plugin I'd be using it all the time :grin
