    I'll get it figured out and know where to start looking anyway. - FIXED

    I think what you seeing is the default window controls in the plugins, vs the custom ones I built for v3?
    Basically, the controls in the plugins will eventually be updated, and the forms finished as some are direct v2 holding pages still.
    Just Alpha stuff here I think.

    It mimics an input between 0 and 100%, allowing you to know what its going to sound like, without having to launch a game.

    You can set it to launch anything you want, you may find that some game plugins do not set a launch path even, or the path is setup for a different version that what your running.

    To update a launch path for a game plugin, simply drag and drop the games exe or shortcut on the banner for the given game plugin.
    It won't relaunch a "game" that is already running.

    So set the launch path to your VR software or whatever you want to use, and it will open that when you press play if it's not running.

    Update Pushed!
    Axis Testing - Fixed (don't have to restart to get settings to stick bug)

    You must now Double Click Play to Launch Games.
    (This should fix the accidental click here and there that launches games.)
    I can always take it back out and try something else, but double clicking to launch something kinda feels normal.
    Let me know what you think!

    Update Posted! :thumbs
    All Filters updated in the Standard Axis Plugin.
    New Smoothing Filter and kicked up 12x too.
    New Washout Filters with speed up and slow down ramping.
    All game plugin api paths normalized.
    New game plugin versions uploaded to the repo.
    Fixed patching for some plugins.

    Warning - if using the Standard Axis Plugin, set smoothing and bounty filters to '0' zero before updating.
    And update your game plugins when offered, so you can remove then if wanted.
    (the paths have changed a bit, the new SimTools and new plugins posted fix the problem, even for installed plugins)

    Awesome @yobuddy can't wait to try it. I was playing AMS2 on SImtools 2.x yesterday so if you have the chance to do the PC2 engine at some stage that would be great. It is one of the profiles I am most happy with so will be great to see if I can get 3.x to parity with it.

    Just to clarify on setting smoothing and boundary filters to 0. Should I discard my old profile and start from scratch? Or just to ensure I am not getting any hangovers from the old behaviour would it be ideal to remove and readd the standard axis plugin to ensure correct behaviour?

    The new plugin available notification doesn't go away?
    It appeared when you published iRacing, but it's already installed.

    @Tim Palmgren,
    If you set any filters for smoothing and boundary to 0 before hand it should work just fine.
    But you could reinstall just to be sure.

    Maybe the tooltip could indicate which one is triggering the notification?

    When you point to the plugins on the front page, do any of them have a update icon?
    Upper left of the banner menu?

    Not sure yet.
    Seems to be working here.
    I may think of something after awhile thou. lol
    Could be because I have changed some things. paths, etc.

    Please goto options / export and export a setup plugin.
    Then un-install v3 and reinstall.
    Then drag-drop the plugin into the main window, and it will re-set you up, just follow the prompts.
    After which simply install the plugins again.
