    I am presuming you have run DR for a while before trying to patch.

    Have you used elevated admin privileges with either DR or SimTools, as that may create a permissions problem.

    Yes I have been playing dirt rally for a while now, but I cannot find the save file anywhere, but no elevated admin privileges that i'm aware of. i just uninstalled and deleted all files from the my games folder and gonna do a fresh install. can't go back to playing without the motion rig anyway.

    Hey guys, sim is still working great. I have added some transducers to use with gamevibe as well as 2 seaflo 4" fans for wind simulation, its awesome with all these things running and working together. I have it working great in assetto corsa, but in iracing the fans just come on at 100% and I have to unplug the adruino to get them to stop and gamevibe doesnt come on initially, I have to close it and reopen it and also exit the race to the garagae and menu screen where the gamevibe then comes on, but it freezes iracing and I have to quit. Any help would be appreciated as iracing is the sim that I actually use and assetto is mainly for guests. Pics coming soon.

    Hey all, its been a while since my last post. Sim is working great, I have so far tried it with Assetto Corsa, Dirt, iRacing and No limits 2. I have also setup a wind simulator which works great. The only issue I am having is that it sometimes doesn't run as smoothly as I would like, or that I expected it to. Is there some setting that helps with how smooth it moves? Also the soft start doesn't work for me, when I turn it on it comes on hard, even if I increase the time in the smc3 code it doesn't make any difference, not sure why that is.

    There is a smoothing filter in Axis Assignments, but it can also be related to the rest of the motion profile, if the rig is balanced properly, the range of lever movement and if the motors are under strain.

    In what circumstances is it not smooth and can that be captured on video while seeing the screen at the same time, along with posting your settings.

    Why do my coins get taken away when I download plugins even though I have bought the 1 week access?

    Hey guys, sim is working great and i'm loving every minute of it. I recently got Aiologs seq shifter and it easy amazing. I also changed out my t3pa pedals to clubsport v2 pedals, much better. I bought assetto corsa competizione on day 1 of the early release, but I cant get gamevibe to work, everything else works fine. Any ideas?

    Hey guys, when you upgrade any of the simtools software, does it store the settings or will I have to redo everything?
