    Hi there, I am getting some really weird values when I try and run Dirt Rally 2.0. I tried in both Simtools versions and both show different values. Fyi this is after me carfully driving without hitting anything and going around a few turns and hills. When I run this profile at full intensity level, my motors just jump around. I tried lowering it to 80 and nothing is moving in a logical way, like the axis3 is shifted to one side, and my axis 1 and 2 are not really moving. Not sure if anyone ran into this before. And the roll input is NAN in the new SimTools. Not sure why that would be.
    Thanks!

    @yobuddy just a heads up that this seems to only be an issue with the plugin inside of SimTools v3. I was just testing SimTools v2.5 with Dirt Rally 2.0 and it works like a charm.

    @Nicki9knuckles,
    I pushed a new Dirt Rally 2.0 v3 plugin to the repo earlier today, maybe let it update and give it another shot.
    Thanks buddy!

    hey @yobuddy I just gave the update a try. I seen it was available in Simtools v3, and downloaded it. Then I booted up DR2 and got though all the menus but as soon as I get to the race, Simtools crashes. I reproduced this the 2 times I tried, booting it up a second time and relaunching DR2.

    Please remove the plugin all together and restart v3.
    Then reinstall the plugin and give it another go.
    (It's using different patching now, so I think it did not patch correctly is all.)
    But we will see :D.
    Chat soon!

    hey @yobuddy ! You were right! Uninstalling the patch first fixed it, things are working perfectly now. Nice work!!

    @yobuddy
    I am having a similar problem possibly. It started out of no where as far as I can tell. The values in Dirt 2.0 are acting erratic with no consistency.
    Changes I have made recently are swapping my old g25 to a PXN V10 ULTRA. Since then I have reverted back to the g25 and removed all traces (I am hoping) of the pxn.
    To try and self fix this I have;
    Uninstalled the plug in, exited simtools 3, started simtools 3 and reinstalled the plugin.
    Then Uninstalled the plugin, uninstalled dirt2.0 Reinstalled DR2, did a race and reinstalled the plug in
    Then looked into the hardware file with notepad and changed the port to 4123.
    I have uninstalled Onedrive.
    I have tried Project cars and found that it does not share the same issue.
    Before I reinstall simtools itself I would like to know it there is something else I should look at.

    The added video shows what I am talking about and also the simtools crashes once I close the game.
    The added Picture shows my hardware config file.

    Also If I Alt-Tab out of DR2 and minimize it then start capturing the value they still are changing. heave got up to 17771.6
