List of changes and releases

2024.10.17: version 2.149:

New features and fixes

  • CL01 - Joystick Monitor: Increased pressed duration for remapped button when it is triggered from the web interface or Stream Deck plugin.
  • CL02 - QS-BT1: Fixed excessive and inconsistent dampening of the gear shift effect.
  • CL03 - Joystick Monitor: Restored accidentally removed binding for VR coordinates mapping procedure.
  • CL04 - DiRT 3 Complete Edition: Fixed compatibility issue.
  • CL05 - QS-BT1: Slightly retuned Vertical G-Force for Automobilista 2.
  • CL06 - MechWarrior 5 Mercenaries: Added support for this game (KL08).
  • CL07 - Platform manager now learns which profile is used with each vehicle model, and then automatically activates the same profile when the vehicle model is selected again in the game. NOTE: Not all games support this feature.
  • CL08 - Kayak VR: Added support for this game.
  • CL09 - QS-BT1: Improved voltage drop prevention algorithm.
  • CL10 - VR HeadWay: Fixed a compatibility issue with EA Sports WRC when SteamVR was used as OpenXR runtime environment.

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.

2024.10.02: version 2.147:

New features and fixes

  • CL01 - QS-DD-20: Introduced more flexible configuration of vehicle engine effects. ATTENTION: We recommend to restore quick-tunes in Wheel Base SFX section to its default values after this update is installed.

  • CL03 - NLR Motion Plus: A separate SFX section has been introduced to make the motion platform operation fully independent of NLR Motion Platform V3.
  • CL04 - Direct Input Plugin: Introduced "Sharpness" quick-tunes for each axis. ATTENTION: In order to have new quick-tunes available, the profile needs to be re-created (delete and re-create).
  • CL05 - QS-210/220: Fixed a bug that caused "Z-Ref Stall Error" in some scenarios.
  • CL06 - QS-BT1: Fixed a bug in the range specification for the frequency field in the "Side Slip" quick-tune, which blocked the option to set the frequency to 0.
  • CL07 - QS-BT1: Changed clamping algorithm for the braking effect, which should now leave more space for lateral and centrifugal forces.

  • CL22 - QS-BT1: Implemented optional engine vibration dampening which is applied when other SFX is being played or when high braking force is being generated.
  • CL23 - ForceSeatMI: Introduced "GoTo" example to show control of the motion platform as if it was a CNC machine or robotic arm.
  • CL24 - All QS motion platforms: Implemented better separation between left and right side road harshness.
  • CL25 - Direct Input Plugin: Added "yaw" axis to the mapping wizard, for flight games only.

  • CL13 - QS-DD-20: Introduced new configuration for shifters (sequential and H-pattern) which allows you to specify precisely the areas where each gear should be engaged. ATTENTION: This involves new firmware, which will break the current shifter configuration, so you need to reconfigure the shifter after installing the new firmware.
  • CL14 - QS-BT1: Added option that enables QS-BT1 to react to joystick inputs, which can be useful for games that do not provide telemetry data.
  • CL15 - Direct Input Plugin: It is now possible to control NLR Motion Platform V3 and NLR Motion Plus separately. ATTENTION: This will break the current configuration, so it is recommended to re-create the profile (delete and re-create).

  • 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.
  • 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.
