    Hi all there, its my first time here. I'm working on a motion ride. I more or less copied the ideas of Mr. Burns and build a chair with 2 SCN6 150 mm actuators. My goal is to make a movie in lightwave (I was able to export the motion data from it) and play it with the video plugin. But as I am a beginner and most people make game simulators and don't use the video plugin I am a bit confused what configuration I need.
    I created a testmovie, exported the motion data and created a file I can import in the video plugin. So far so good. Now I started the force-profiler2 and checked in the input setup if any data was detected, but no there wasn't.
    I use the white version 2.0.8.8.

    I thought this should work. Does a noob tutorial about the video plugin exist?

    Regards, Lucas

    Did you select the video plugin in the Force Sender, and did you press try send data?

    It works, thanks. I actually didn't think the force sender was needed for the video plugin. :blush:
