    After reading a few other threads, I rolled SimTools back to 2.4.0 and magically, it works! I did some tuning per the guide for pCars 2 and got a base down but I think it could be better.

    I should enjoy it how it is now for a little bit but... I'm also thinking I want to change the rig to a platform mover. Next game I'll get a tune in for is XPlane.

    So I decided to change the sim to a platform mover over the last few weeks. I used Niels Heusinkveld's wooden rig design as a base:


    I still need to do some tuning but this thing is wild and a lot of fun! I will post pictures later and update the first post as well.

    I also purchased Assetto Corsa so I need to upgrade my account to download that plugin for SimTools.
