    Ok, so I downloaded F1 2012 from steam and setup my profile for the sim.

    I have to say, this game is absolutely a different beast when using a motion simulator.
    Tightly strapped into my seat, flying around Monaco is simply amazing.

    Being F1 I don't need massive movements, but I have PITCH up a lot higher than all the other axis and the feeling you get on that track is astonishing!

    If you don't have F1 2012, I can recommend you re-visit this little gem!!

    (Thanks so much for providing an excellent plugin as well - @yobuddy / @value1)

    PS - Don't buy from Steam. It's only $8 on "thebluedroid"

    Hi @Archie ,
    Does the plugin for F1 2012 still work for you? I've just downloaded it from Steam but I don't get any data passing through. :/

    All right, fixed :) I had to point the folder to mydocuments/mygames/ for patching, instead of the Steam folder (even though I'm running Windows 7 32bits).

    Lovely!!! :) :)
