New user! Help with Live Preview

Just bought Simplify3D today and already loving it! Finally managed to downgrade my XYZPrinting DaVinci to a compatible firmware and have already done a few successful prints.

I'm having trouble getting the live preview to work though. I can watch the simulated animation fine, but after I start print (via USB), the extruder in the preview window does not move from the origin. Is this feature only supported on certain printers?

I don't think the da vinci printers provide enough feedback to enable the live preview tracking. That's probably why it isn't happening
