MSFS 2020/2024 Plugins and Profile v3.1

My profile REQUIRES my updated and included MSFS 2020 and 2024 Game Link plugins, as well as version 2.73 or newer of YawVR's Game Link app.  This profile will not behave correctly without first installing these updated plugins.  (Almost all of the logic is actually in the plugins, not the profile.)

You MUST INSTALL the updated plugins BEFORE importing the profile or Game Link will reset the profile!


Step 1 - Delete My Older Incompatible Profiles (optional):
------
You may want to delete my old MSFS profiles as they will not behave correctly with these updated plugins. If you want to bring them back, you can redownload them and their corresponding older plugins from my web site.


Step 2 - Replace the Game Link Plugins:
------
To install the plugins, locate your YawVR Game Link installation folder.  With the Steam-installed version, this will be something like "Program Files (x86) > Steam > steamapps > common > YawVR GameLink > Gameplugins".
Open the "Gameplugins" folder and drag both plugins (not the profile!) into the folder, replacing the old ones.

If you get a message saying the old plugins are still in use, you need to fully quit Game Link.  You can right click on its hidden icon in the taskbar or find and delete the background process in Task Manager.  (Search for "YawVR" in Task Manager, select that process and choose the option "End task".  After doing this you'll be able to successfully copy over the plugins.


Step 3 - Import the New Profile:
------
To install the profile, launch the Game Link app, select the game (MSFS 2020 or MSFS 2024), go to the "Motion Profiles" tab and import it.  The same profile works with either game but you have to import it for each game separately.
