    So I noticed today that there has been an update to Simtools v2 which is great but I also noticed Simtools v3 & there seems to be limited details available.

    I take it from what I read that you need different plugins for it....
    Now, does that means for the Games themselves?
    Does that mean that GameVibe isn't compatible?

    If you do need different plugins, where do you get them?

    I could download v3 from https://simtools.us but I'm a little worried about mucking up all my settings.

    So if anyone has any Info or thoughts they'd be greatly appreciated.

    & yes, I know it's Beta & I'm happy to Beta test generally but I like to enter into such things with a bit of knowledge.

    SimTools 3 has just been made available for testing it is not yet ready for release and only supports a limited number of plugins thus far.

    You can run StimTools 2 and 3 on the same machine, so use v2 for every day gaming and v3 if you are interested in helping out with testing and bug reporting.

    Follow the existing Beta SimTools 3 thread and comment there: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/posts/231709/

    Ok, posting quick is a sure fire way of finding your blind :D
    So I see game plugins on the simtools site for v3 covering the 2 games I normaly play.

    That still leaves GameVibe. I don't suppose it's been incorporated into simtools instead of being an external plugin by any chance?

    See the first post of the existing V3 Beta thread for an overview, and post all questions there so that V3 relevant user information is in one thread: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/posts/231709/
