    The switching is a normal behaviour.

    I use smoothing and tweak the Tuning Center values to get the best compromise.

    I would prefer that NL2 had roll and pitch as Extra functions, as @value1 did for the FSX/Prepar3D plugin, as that is more realistic, particularly in VR.

    I've setup the Roll Axis with a 50% Smoothing Filter. This helps that the jump from one side to the other is not that hard anymore. The tracks are "ok" with this setting, but however, this is still just a workaround in my opinion :(.

    There are some tracks with a 180 Degree going up Start. Sorry for the bad English, how to call that? The Lifting of the cars at the beginning of the track :). Not very realistic when going straight up and the simulator is moving fully to the right and stay there until the Lift ends. :)
    On the other hand the big smoothing filter is causing a motion lag when going fast through curves.

    Is there any easy way to calculate an additional Extra output? Is this done within the .dll File or is there any chance todo this in a config File?

    Hi @maxx8888
    The documentation of the scripting API can be found in NoLimits
    ScriptingAPI_0.png ScriptingAPI_1.png ScriptingAPI_2.png
    The documentation of the SimTools plugins is here.
    It's not difficult, it just must be done.

    By the way great work @value1. Thanks for this great Plugin!
    I guess you put a lot of work into that plugin. Seems like not that simple for me. :grin

    I will try to adapt my arduino Code. I could think about something like from 0-90 Degree Roll on NL will transfer to full extend on Hardware.
    When going further than 90° the Hardware should go back to middle Position.

    I'm using 13bit Interface to arduino. I'm talking about a table like this when doing a full roll:
    SimToolOut ArduinoMoveTo
    0 extend to center
    2048 extend full left
    4096 extend to center
    6144 extend full right
    8196 extend to center

    This would mean when flipped upside down on the Coaster the Hardware would be in middle Position again.

    A flipping of the roll axis should then change the Simtool out from 0 to 8196, which is both center position.

    Hmm, this is also no optimal Solution. The Jumps from -180 to +180 are working well now. There are a few tracks which are really feeling good now.
    However there are moves to about 100Degree and back to 0 which are jumping now...

    I have the same issue and it is actually making the game unusable for my simulator... I tried to understand the plugin and scripting API but my experience with code is very limited and it seems far above my level. Do you think a future plugin update will ever be released that will address this problem?

    No limits 2 on steam has been updated to the latest Oculus runtime. I have tried on my dk2 and it is really smooth. Motion is still OK with the current plugin.

    Guys, the issue I have with the Oculus beta version of the game is that I have to reset Simtools every time I close the game and open it again.
    If I don't to that, Simtools will not connect, no motion.

    I checked and no instances of the game are left open.

    Is there anything I can do to fix our help T/S?

    Thanks!

    As NoLimis 2 has a UDP Telemetry output, the plugin should be now quite stable. I bet @SilentChill wishes Elite Dangerous had a implemented telemetry output :).
