    Thanks for taking the time to work on a plugin for GPL @value1.:) There appears to be some issues with it for me however.:( It patched okay but I can only seem to find one working value. The heave force appears to be on sway. Heave appears to be on surge also as it closely mimics the heave force on sway but it is erratic at times. I tried all axis but nothing else seemed to output useable values. If it matters it did ask if I wanted to patch Nascar ’14 and not GPL.

    Thank you @BlazinH for the feedback.
    I'll give it some more tries on another installation on another PC.
    (don't be concerned about the NASCAR thing. I just forgot to change that ;))

    For me it`s working fine! I use 2dof with scn5`s. Only thing I had to do is tune the limits with tuning centre.

    These are the settings.

    Thanks again Value1! Now I can get rid of the frex control box!

    Hey Value1, One request if possible...

    GPL mods use different .exe files.

    these are the filenames.
    upload_2015-6-7_14-37-18.png

    You can start the mods now, but you have to rename the exe files.

    Thanks!

    Thank you @bob williams for your feedback and the screenshot. I can include these file names to make the plugin start automatically whatever .exe you start. I will check what the issue with @BlazinH's program could be and issue an update.

    I am using GPL 1.2.0.2 as stated and its 1778kb just like bob williams shows above @value1. I've had this on my computer for several years already though and the installer I used states its version .97 US. It looks like the newest installers are version 1.04 and 1.07. Do you think that could have anything to do with the problems I'm having?

    I don`t think so. patch 1.2.0.2 is an official patch from sierra and very old. I know the exe is patched again by pribluda (timing overlay) and when you use gplshift (H-shift support) that also patches the exe file.

    Do you use 2dof motion? If so, I only use the sway and surge movements... and that`s working fine..

    I’m sorry to dig up an old topic. But can anybody tell me what is the update in this version of this plugin? Does it include the mod executables?

    thanks!

    Thx for this Plugin.
    I use a 2dof and I also had to change the limits with tuning centre like 'bob Williams' wrote.
    I have the same request like him even if it was asked long time ago, it is about GPL mods which use different .exe files.
    Of course by manually renaming the different gpl mods .exe to gpl.exe it works but as i read value1 wrote 'I can include these file names to make the plugin start automatically whatever .exe you start' so it would be great if a new update of plugin would be made. Thx in advance

    Hey Guys,
    I have been struggling with this plugin for at least a year.
    I can get it to kind of work under the following situation:
    Vanilla GPL v1.202 and no GEM+ or any mods,
    However the motion is incredibly erratic, and when i can tune it in as best as possible its very delayed.

    i.e. if I turn left, it seems to take half a second to register a sway movement and same for the return values.
    I have messed with the gain and washout values, but doesn't seem to address the delay issue.

    When I use GEM+ to add all the mods and fixes it creates a new file called gpl67c.exe
    I rename this file to GPL so that simtools detects that it is running but then all of the motion is very erratic and crazy, the only motion that seems to work a little is traction loss, but i cant even use that with my 2DOF rig.

    I think this happens due to it using the memory hook method, so the addresses it looks at with the GEM+ version are not correct after all the mod changes.
    But this doesn't explain the delay issue I have with the vanilla version.

    If anyone has the plugin source code, i could try and look at finding the correct memory addresses for the GEM+ version

    Thanks for reading this long story. not sure if this can ever be fixed but would be cool as GPL is such an amazing game.

    Can you please post pictures of ALL your settings for the vanilla version.

    For GEM+ and all the mods you would likely need to create a plugin for it: https://www.xsimulator.net/communit...lugin-for-simtools-2-0-api-documentation.131/

    The other alternative is to use the generic Joystick plugin: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/marketplace/joystick-plugin.127/

    You can use Vjoy to extend the plugin's functionality: https://www.xsimulator.net/communit...otion-plugin-and-vjoy-controller-mapping.387/
