List of changes and releases

2024.12.05: version 2.155:

New features and fixes

  • CL01 - Flight Simulator 2020/2024: Added option to pause the game depending on camera state. This allows to disable motion more consistently during loading and configuration screens.
  • CL02 - IL-2 Great Battles Series: Added support for QS-BT1.
  • CL03 - Condor 3: Added support for this game.
  • CL04 - Farming Simulator 25: Added support for this game.
  • CL05 - QS-BT1: Improvements to the Motion-Lock self-diagnosis algorithm to increase its reliability and eliminate false-positive errors.

Known limitations

  • KL01 - Aerofly FS2/FS4: The 'accelerations' data rate is 1 Hz and 'bank/pitch' data rate is 10Hz. In order to work with that slow telemetry rates, the motion profile uses mainly roll, pitch and yaw + interpolation when possible.
  • KL02 - DCS World: Not all aircraft support all SFX due to lack of telemetry data.
  • KL03 - KartKraft: Support for CKAS has to be disabled in game settings, otherwise the platform manager crashes. This is caused by a bug in the game SDK.
  • KL04 - WRC 7, 8, 9, 10: Unofficial 3rd party component is used to retrieve telemetry data. The component might stop working if game update is deployed making the component incompatible.
  • KL05 - Flight Simulator 2020: The game runs the simulation partially even when the user is in the main menu but does not provide any flag to indicate this, and as a result, causes undesired operation of the motion platform. This issue is partially suppressed by intelligent "main menu" detector however the detector does not work perfectly and sometimes causes a false positive detection when the aircraft is idling on the runway.
  • KL06 - The Crew 2: The game tends to send corrupted telemetry data (crazy accelerations and velocities) in areas around bridges. In order to avoid violent motion platform operation, this condition is detected and filtered out, resulting in a quite suppressed motion.
  • KL07 - WRC Generations: The game does NOT output telemetry data during training sessions and DOES output unwanted telemetry data during loading and post-race stages. There are also unexpected peaks in telemetry data that affects motion platform operation.
  • KL08 - MechWarrior 5 Mercenaries: Unofficial 3rd party component is used to retrieve telemetry data. The component might stop working if game update is deployed making the component incompatible.

2024.11.27: version 2.153:

New features and fixes

  • KL04 - WRC 7, 8, 9, 10: Unofficial 3rd party component is used to retrieve telemetry data. The component might stop working if game update is deployed making the component incompatible.
  • KL05 - Flight Simulator 2020: The game runs the simulation partially even when the user is in the main menu but does not provide any flag to indicate this, and as a result, causes undesired operation of the motion platform. This issue is partially suppressed by intelligent "main menu" detector however the detector does not work perfectly and sometimes causes a false positive detection when the aircraft is idling on the runway.
  • KL06 - The Crew 2: The game tends to send corrupted telemetry data (crazy accelerations and velocities) in areas around bridges. In order to avoid violent motion platform operation, this condition is detected and filtered out, resulting in a quite suppressed motion.
  • KL07 - WRC Generations: The game does NOT output telemetry data during training sessions and DOES output unwanted telemetry data during loading and post-race stages. There are also unexpected peaks in telemetry data that affects motion platform operation.

2023.11.02: version 2.135:

New features and fixes

  • CL01 - The Crew Motorfest: Added support for this game. Only installations from the Epic Store are detected automatically. In other cases, the location of the game must be selected manually.

  • CL04 - Flight Simulator 2020: Polling interval can be configured in profile settings (Profile -> Edit -> Configure). If the game runs at low FPS, it might be troublesome to poll telemetry data at default 10ms interval (100Hz).
  • CL05 - Live For Speed: Added support for full OutSimPack2 telemetry (ver. 0.7A, OutSim Opts set to 1ff), implemented UDP Proxy/Forwarder, SFX, Tactile Audio Based Feedback and introduced support for DIY WindSim.
  • CL06 - IL-2 Great Battles Series: Implemented DIY WindSim - user defined constant wind blow which is modified by the plane acceleration (the game does not provide velocity in telemetry data).

Known limitations

  • KL01 - Aerofly FS2: Since R22 update, the 'accelerations' data rate is 1 Hz and 'bank/pitch' data rate is 10Hz. In order to work with that slow telemetry rates, the motion profile uses mainly roll, pitch and yaw + interpolation when possible.
  • KL02 - DCS World: Not all planes provide engine RPM for Tactile Audio Based Feedback system.
  • KL03 - KartKraft: Support for CKAS has to be disabled in game settings, otherwise the platform manager crashes. This is caused by a bug in the game SDK.

Known issues

  • Aerofly FS2: Since R22 update, the 'accelerations' data rate is 1 Hz and 'bank/pitch' data rate is 10Hz. In order to work with that slow telemetry rates, two profiles have been introduced. None of them is perfect, because the issue is inside the game engine.
    1. Aerofly FS2 - ACC: It uses interpolated accelerations to drive the motion platform at the cost of 1s latency.
    2. Aerofly FS2 - NO ACC: It uses only bank and pitch to drive the motion platform at the cost of 100ms latency.
  • VR HeadWay: When the UEFI Secure Boot is enabled, VR motion compensation might not work.
