Is this really marked as feedback-logged? I don’t see the tag in the thread title…

Wooops, looks like I typed it in but didn’t save it. I’ll update the thread tag now! :slight_smile:

Does this issue only occur for you using the VPForce?

I have not tested with other stick. Will get back to you after doing that.

FYI, this confirmed bug report is the actual cause behind this. It has not to do with FFB, VPforce or VR. It is a simconnect bug.

Have the same issue with my motion rig. It does not move for the first couple of gates after the start of a race, then it starts moving. Seems to be some telemetry not working for a while.
