SimTools v3 Public Beta

Before getting into the possible complexities of a new plugin, can you please confirm that Live For Speed works as expected, given it is used as a reference plugin?

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

Big Update Pushed!


Added - Game plugins can now have built in support for UDP Relaying to other apps. (the plugin needs to support it)
Added - 'Soft' page opening and closing added the virtual window and the UDP relaying window too.
Fixed - Registration error that may cause a entertainment license to error.
Fixed - An error found in the banner update routine that caused 2 banners to download at every startup.
Fixed - Virtual window now closes cleanly when exiting v3.
Updated - The game banner's pic menu with more functionality. (And now ready for skinning)
Updated - Packet Relay and Dash's 3d output data to the data pages for all game plugins.
Updated - Updated the SimTools forms that may fix some scaling issues for some people.
Updated - Washout filter controls for the standard and advances axis plugins. (Works the same, but the settings make a lot more sense.)
Updated - Game patching so SimTools detect the correct game when game plugins use the same 'process name' to detect the game as running.
Updated - The coffee I’m drinking to be a more efficient programmer.

You can now check online if udp relaying is supported for a given plugin from its data page.
Like for f1 2022 found here: https://simtools.us/plugin/?varname=24&color=0e97dd


With a plugin that supports UDP Relaying, you will see a Packet Relay icon on it's game banner menu.


With the window open, add the port to send too (and IP if not on the same PC) and click close.
(You can click reset and close to remove the setting too.)


UDP Relaying enabled for a game will look like this.


If you have any questions, you know what to do!
Only F1 2022 has been updated for the UDP relay at this time.
But more game plugins will be updated with udp relaying soon.
Take care,

Here is a GT7 tread guys:

Take care!

Awesome effort, obviously the coffee your drinking to be a more efficient programmer has well and truly kicked in

Try updating to the latest version of SimTools v2 before trying to register v3 Beta, as that has some license related fixes: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/marketplace/categories/simtools.37/

@Bjarte Myklebust,
IM sent...

If v2 of SimTools is working for you you, then you won't need to do this where things sit now.
(This was only a alpha thing)
Take care guys!

SimTools v3 is in Beta testing, not all plugins are supported yet, so use DCS 0n v2 instead, it can run on the same PC.

Yes, in axis assignments, we can configure the output anyway we want to.
I suggest you try using one DOF at a time on your sim, just to see how the sim reacts to it.
You will find that surge and sway react to the drivers inputs well being g-forces.
Where roll and the pitch are simply the cars resting position in the game, so the output reacts to the roads pitch and roll changes well.
Once you have played with all the DOFs you want to use, you can add all the ones you want to use (and adjust the percent total of the axis to 100 to 120% or so), and you are golden!

w00t!

Well the axis should total 100% to 120% or so.
So maybe 35% sway and surge, 15% pitch and roll, and 5% heave.
Hope that helps,
yobuddy

If I understand correctly, both flaps would work together when there is Surge.

Where with sway, only one flap (pushes) depending on the sway direction.
If sway is positive, the right flap pushed, if sway is negative, the left flap pushes.

If you agree with me on how it should work, then I don't understand needing the absolute value for a axis is all?
Chat soon buddy!
