    I try in testing and everything works but if I play nothing moves and in capture I find what you see in the picture and only the Traction Loss value moves.

    Hi everyone ive tried to look for this info but im a bit lost,

    I need some specific things for my rig to work so I made a custom interface plugin.
    How can I import that plugin in V3, in simtools v2 you could import through the plugin updater but I cant find info on how to do it on the new software. thanks in advance!

    You can't use v2 plugin in v3 unfortunately.
    And the v3 interface api is not out yet, but will be soon.
    But to answer your question, you can just drag and drop plugins into the main v3 gui.

    I recorded a video. In Smc3Utils u can see on port 7 u have one motor for belt tensioner. My primary 2dof is on port 4. When I'm turn on sim tools 2. And go to output testing my motor in 2nd interface work. When I'm turn in game it work also and sim tools work. On sim tools 3 beta. When I create 2nd interface and test it. It works well. But problem is when I try turn in game or try game test. Then sum tools crashes. Also in different game. I try on rbr and dr2.

    The Interface connected to com 4 makes me think the com ports are locked up for some reason.
    I would suggest rebooting the PC and trying v3 again right after reboot.
    (Pleas try v3 right after restart without running v2 or the smc3 app.)
    Chat soon!

    Also, maybe click save in axis assignments before clicking test settings.
    We will figure it out buddy!

    Hi. I must test it more, becouse one time when I start dr2 without Smc3Utils it was working. But when later I play in assetto sim tools 3 crashed with 2nd profile. I also see Different game profiles have differently assigned axis directions and another suggestion is can u soft start test axis also :)

    @gigi,
    When you click test settings you go to the upper right and move the slider around,
    And the round x button to stop testing.

    My guess is you were able to turn on the tester 2x and it crashed.
    I will take a look buddy.
    Thanks for the report!

    Only one app can use the port at a time.
    So if Smc3Utils is running, simtools can not connect to the interface.
    Take care!

    Hi Yobuddy, thanks for your reply
    yes indeed in the video you can see that I pressed the "test" button twice. But I tried many times even pressing the key correctly (once) and it always crashes.
