    Thanks @value1. It work fine.
    I ve notice some issues only in super cruise mod:
    -roll and pitch don't work,
    -Heave and Sway work too much (there is a possibility to set them to zero during super cruise?)
    - When I look left, right screens and radar zoom in the cockpit, I ve got some wierd movement.
    I hope that de V1.5 for the 15 of december will don't break all youre work

    Hmm a few issues:

    I was getting random movement after jumping to another system. Also, the galaxy map would cause seemingly random motion in the sim when the galaxy camera was moved.

    Thx very much for next version of the plugin. I've been playing ED since 3 days, but with the motion it's even more exciting!

    I use heave, sway, surge and roll. Have the same 2 issues as guys earlier

    1. Platform moves randomly and with strong motion when you move galaxy map around
    2. In superscruise my platform almost tried to kill me ;) had to use my emergency switch...

    But in normal flight is great!

    Does this work with the Horizons addon and the 64bit version or is it still just 32bit version ? Im not even getting game connected ? :(

    Horizon was one of my concerns!
    I haven't installed that add-on.
    Is the 64 bit version coming with Horizon or is there a way to install it with Elite only?

    As far as I know its going all 64bit there will be no 32bit updated version. All new developments including Horizons are 64bit, you can still get the standard elite which is 32bit and 64bit.

    IMO it will be better to wait for tomorrow, for official horizons release. Before that there is no sense to work with the plugin 'couse everything probably will change.

    BTW thx for the coins @value1 ! ;) I will be your betatester forever ;)

    Yes, thanks for the coinage! Eagerly awaiting that Horizons release and the followup plugin- I didn't realize until today that it was releasing tomorrow. I wonder if there will be a whole different set of memory locations for the land vehicle vs the ship (within the same game version and session).

    Hard to say but most major revision result in significant changes.

    Some are experimenting with mixed flight and driving controls for Horizons and it would be a blast to have a seamless experience for both with motion: https://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/3wkhdx/ed_horizons_oculus_dk2_x55_g27_i_cant_even/

    Ha, that's awesome, I hadn't thought about that (actually haven't landed on a planet yet in Horizons, downloading the last beta now), but it's a great idea, like the poster I have driving wheel/pedals and a HOTAS in my rig.

    I wish I knew how we could get Frontier Dev to give us (i.e. value1) some of that sweet, sweet, motion telemetry :/

    Same here, I now have mounts for both controls, but swap between the Clubsport and Saitek pedals for race and flight.

    It would be awesome to have actual motion telemetry, but I suspect that would be toward the very bottom of the ED devs todo list. I can see @value1 dancing a little jig if ED devs ever made it that simple :grin

    At the moment I am more interested in what happens with ED VR support. ED direct to Rift has been a problem for a lot of people and it was announced yesterday that the consumer Vive will launch with direct to the HMD enabled by default, with developers being switched over this January.

    Vive support has only just been added to ED and it would be a shame if direct to HMD issues are not resolved for the consumer releases of the Vive and Rift.

    So, horizon is out!! And motion is break-out (again...:(). I ll wait for a new plugin

    After a try of landing and driving the SRV (buggy), I don't think it's a good idea to use a wheel for driving it. The gravity is very low and you can "fly" with your SRV when you making a jump. So, you ll need to roll and pitch to not crash your buggy when youre "land" with it.
    It's just my opinion:)

    Does it only work through steam? Or has anyone got it working through the launcher by pointing it to the Frontier directory?
    At the moment I'm launching Elite through the Elite Launcher, and even that is screwy! When I select launch Elite Dangerous 32Bit, It launches horizons for some unknown reason and then crashes!

    That's the reason, why I specified Steam version. I cannot run the standalone version in 32 bit either ATM so cannot check if the plugin also works there.
