    Is it possible to extract telemetry date from games accessed via MS Game Pass streaming (via Simtools, etc)?

    I am trying to build a rig that can be used for a variety of things, by a few different people.

    Thanks.

    AIM do a datalogger that lets you stream telemetry from some games

    I use it for RF2

    Thanks for the reply, I realised that I worded my q incorrectly.

    I understand that plugins (and settings, etc) are game specific - what I should have asked is - does Simtools see the games on MS Game Pass as actual "games" (and therefore there is telemetary when available) or do you need to be running the "game" locally to extract telemetary...?

    A game needs to be patched for motion, so I am not sure if that is possible via MS Game Pass?

    Of course, thank you. I should have made that connection myself.

    No problem. The use of the earlier suggested Joystick plugin utilises input is from your controllers, not the game, so should work with MS Games Pass.
