    It has been a while since the alpha edition released. I really wish the new edition could support RBR as the old 2.5 edition. Looked as if there are only 1-2 person doing the coding work, and they are spending less than 5 hours a week on this project.

    Hi all... Is possible download and try the SimTools v3 alpha version?
    I read that it can also be installed together with version 2.5.1 for those who already have it.
    I would like to be able to start testing it if it were possible :thumbs

    True

    False - not even close. lol

    The next step is putting out a public beta of SimTools v3.
    - Which means making all the changes we want/need from the alpha version.
    - Some changes like the Interface API changing, means all of the interfaces needed to be redone.
    - Setting up the website, database, and so much more.
    - Testing and so on...
    It just all takes time, but we are getting close! :thumbs
    Take care!

    Does Simtools v3 allow a per car/per game automatic detection like SimRacingStudio does by reading the shared memory? I'm really hoping I can set up a "surge" value per car... certain cars just break your neck (BMW M8, Corvette DP in iRacing comes to mind).

    I have a lot of experience in Graphic Design (both UX and UI)... let me know if you need help with the UI elements... Perhaps, 3.0 is fully skinnable, like the old MP3 players?

    It knows what game you launch, so yes.
    It knows what car (or profile) to use, if the plugin can support Auto Profiling, yes.
    (the game announces what vehicle its currently being used)

    Hi @yobuddy,

    I forgot to ask/mention when looking again at the parking feature the axis labels in the alpha version are still 1a, 2a etc. Will these change to match the customised naming in axis assignments?

    Thanks

    There really isn't enough space to write labels there, but maybe a popup name or something.
    (Like when you hover 1a the name pops-up and so on, It's the same thing with axis limiting page also.)
    Chat soon!

    This is the next gui thing to get done.
    But after you click test settings, move the upper right slider around, and the little white circle with the X on it turns it off.

    Install the game from the disk, and make sure it's up to date.
    Then install the plugin in v3, just like you would do with the steam version.
    After the plugin is installed, drag the games .exe file over the game banner in v3, this will set the correct launch path to your version of the game. (not steam version).
    Then you are ready to give it a go.
    Take care,
