    Hi, I'm new to the forum and I don't understand much of this stuff.
    I have had frexgp simcomotion for 10 years, but since I have Windows 10 it does not work for me. I have purchased, on the recommendation of frexgp, their new SimMOTION 2Axis controller which arrived on Monday and still does not work.
    I contacted FrexGp and told them my problem, they answered me and sent Axis Sel to change the actuators ID to 0, they tell me that the new simMotion has to be like this to work with simtools, but it still doesn't work.
    What can I do more?
    Thank you very much.

    Hi again, i got the actuators moving. When I start the simtools game engine, the actuators move to the right, then to the center, and finally they are tilted to the right. Any solution?
    Another thing, I can't get rfactor2 to appear in the list of games, only live for speed appears, is a license necessary for it to appear in the list?

    only life for speed works with the demo version. you need to buy at least the DIY Version to use other games with simtools.

    which simtools version are you using? simtools 2.4.1 makes some problems wen your windows 10 is already updated to version 2004

    Hi, I am using version 2.4.1
    Thanks for the clarification I will buy a license to be able to use rfactor 2.
    A greeting.

    But in order to use rfactor 2 You need to download the rfactor plugin and place it in "plugin updater" then Patch the game etc

    Hello,
    First I want to make my actuators work with Live for speed, when I get it I will launch to buy a license and thus put my rfactor2.
    I'm reading all the for, doing everything mentioned and can't get it to work with LFS, I'm going crazy.
    Thank you for your advice.

    Can you please post pictures of all of your settings, it is hard to help without some basic information.

    Is Output testing working as expected?

    If so then have you run LFS before patching it for motion: https://www.xsimulator.net/communit...run-in-first-person-mode-before-patching.365/

    I've done everything about 1000 times and can't move with LFS.
    When I connect simtools, the actuators move to the right, to the left and finally to the center, yesterday they stayed on the right, I don't know what I touched, but today it stays centered.

    Whenever I exit LFS I get that message to restart the game engine.

    Generally that means one or more of the actuators is not configured correctly.

    Restart GameEngine and check the actuators can center correctly.

    Do you have 2 actuators attached to a single com port adapter?

    If you only have one actuator connected does it behave correctly?

    That can sometimes be problematic, you should really grab a copy of the SimTools manual and use it to understand how to configure SimTools: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/rtfm-start-with-the-official-simtools-documentation.117/

    For the moment you should not be using filters in Axis Assignments, but for SCNs do set Axis Limiting to a value of 90%. This is very important to preserve your actuator in the long term. Not doing this can lead to mechanical damage.

    The Dir being checked orange or not determines which way an axis moves, sway should be set the opposite of roll and lean away from a corner, this is how SimTools expects axis to be configured: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/which-way-to-set-simtool-axis-movements.230/

    I have finally gotten LFS to work with my actuators. After testing, I opted to unmap axis 2 and it worked.
    Now I go for the license and try with rfactor 2.
    Thank you very much everyone for the help.
    A greeting.

    I bought the license and rfactor 2 works perfectly for me.
    It has been 4 days reading, asking for help and communicating with FrexGp to be able to make the actuators work, I thought they would no longer work, but, finally today, I was able to make them reconnect and make me have a good time.
    Thanks for everything.
