The latest update for ForceSeatPM (version 2.185) is now available. The main focus of this release is support for the F1 25 2026 packet format introduced by the 2026 Season Pack, alongside new Web Interface controls and several improvements across motion profiles.
Here are the key changes:
- F1 25: Added support for the 2026 packet format introduced by the 2026 Season Pack. Version 2025 is still used by default, but the 2026 format can be selected in the profile configuration.
- Web Interface: Added global pause and park toggle buttons.
- All motion platforms: Added Side Slip damping during collisions to all built-in profiles.
- iRacing: Now detects when the engine is turned off.
- Assetto Corsa EVO: Retuned motion profile for QS-V20.
The update is ready to download. Let us know how it runs!
Full Changelog - Version 2.185
New features and fixes
- CL01 – Stream Deck: Improved the handling of empty (not set) quick tune URLs.
- CL02 – Assetto Corsa EVO: Retuned motion profile for QS-V20.
- CL03 – QS-BT1: Fixed a bug that prevented the Acceleration parameter from being added to Gear Change quick tunes in some older profiles.
- CL04 – Web Interface: Added global pause and park toggle buttons.
- CL05 – iRacing: Detect when engine is turned off.
- CL06 – All motion platforms: Added Side Slip damping during collisions to all built-in profiles.
- CL07 – F1 25: Added support for 2026 packet format introduced by 2026 Season Pack. Version 2025 is still used by default, but the 2026 format can be selected in the profile configuration. If you are using the UDP forwarding feature, select a packet format version supported by the receiving application.
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 those 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 2020/2024: 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 affect motion platform operation.
- KL08 – MechWarrior 5 Mercenaries and Dakar Desert Rally: Unofficial 3rd party component is used to retrieve telemetry data. The component might stop working if game update is deployed making the component incompatible.
- KL09 – Elite Dangerous: Unofficial memory reading method is used to retrieve telemetry data. The method uses memory pointers provided by Wagnard (available at GitHub) and might stop working if game update is deployed.
