    I am setting simtools parameters, and encountered a troubled problem:(: The output angle is not linear.

    In the Output testing->Axis testing:
    The dead zone to the left is as high as 25%. For example, if it is adjusted to Lift 24% , the rocker arm keeps at 0°

    The angle to the right is too large. For example, if it is adjusted to Right 2%, the rocker arm will output 80°

    you need to tell simtools you are using rotational actuators not linear iirc

    is it the latest version of sim tools ?

    @yangsqr,
    Take a look at the Generic 2D advanced plugin.
    There you can set them too rotational output and fix the problem your encountering.
    Take care,

    Yes, I used SimTools_v2.4. I will try to change to rotational actuators, thank you very much~

    Thanks yobuddy, I found it in "Generic 2D advanced plugin". But the problem still exists.
    When I adjusted to “rotation” and tested it after pressing “SAVE”, the problem remained. The reason may be that the settings cannot be saved, because when I restarted the GameEngine, the settings returned to the “linear”. (I also tried to run the GameEngine in admin mode and still cannot save)

    Its just a gui glitch, it is fixed in the next release.
    However, the output is correct still.
    (its just the gui did not get updated on startup is all)
    Take care,

    Thank you yobuddy, the problem is solved, it is actually a non-English system problem.
    In fact, I knew this problem before, and it has been changed in the win10 interface. Now it seems that this is useless.

    After I changed the language on the traditional control panel interface according to your prompt, it worked fine. Thanks again!
