    You will need to have and install the MSFS2020 plugin, and then patch it for motion: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/marketplace/microsoft-flight-simulator-2020-plugin.246/

    You can grab a copy of the SimTools manual here: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/rtfm-start-with-the-official-simtools-documentation.117/

    Then check out the FAQ section: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/simtools-settings-tips-and-tricks.18/category

    In particular the tips on how to refine a motion profile, which follows after installing and patching the plugin: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/simtools-settings-tips-and-tricks.18/category

    @noorbeast Download package is over a budget. But i found an plugin from @knaufinator and i dropped these 3 files to plugin update the game patched (simtools change to blue when i start the game) but in the tuning center shows nothing. upload_2022-5-19_10-55-54.png
