i wont lie, after seeing the plugin and trying the playable demo i wa really excited to try this, compatability says upto 5.7 and i run 5.6 but it doesnt work with 5.6 only upto 5.5, please make sure your compatibitly tag is accurate, or update the plugin. i was so happy to find a 6DOF system

i founda way to get it to work in 5.6 and 5.7

to make this work with 5.6 and 5.7 make sure you have Visual Studio 2022 installed. install plugin to 5.5, goto the UE5.5 install path (program files > Epic Games > UE5.5 > Engine > Plugins > Marketplace and the folder will be called something like this: Simple6D85b1a60bba17V3 Copy It (DO NOT PASTE YET)

open your project or empty project in UE5.6/5.7, goto editor preferences, source code, in the drop down select visual studio 2022, restart UE, create a new C++ class, save and compile. Close it, in your project folder make Plugins Folder > paste the 6DOF folder into plugins, then launch the project in 5.6 this will then compile. from this point when you goto edit > Plugins and search 6DOF itll be there
