    @Mu-KwangKim,
    Excellent buddy!
    Be sure to show me anything that does not look right in the GUI, as I'm starting to work on the skinning stuff.
    Take care!

    There is no problem so far.
    All the menus are visible, and they don't disappear.
    If there is a problem, I will post it.
    Finally, I can use the PRO version. Hah, hah, hah.

    Hi @yobuddy I test new version. I found 2 bugs : when u turn on test on game profile and test b axis, a axis also work.
    When u set max min on a, b axis. That value is set to a and b axis. U can't set separate values to b axis. I have belt tensioner on b axis and can't set it only for braking for now. In simtools 2 it was working

    If you talking about axis testing, then this is how it should work.
    (As some people need to use a dof more than once for their motion profile.)

    I don't understand, there is now a Max/Min set 1 thru 3. And I seem to be able to set all 3.

    And know that in axis assignments, you can control what set of max/min's you are tied too.
    My guess is you have both axis assignments tied to set 1 is all.

    I don't understand. I have max min data input and I set max min for seat there, and in max min data input 2 I set max min for belts?

    I don't understand maybe can u show me an exemple haw to set 2 interfaces max min separately? For me how I understand max min data input source is like 3 cars setup profiles. U can set 3 types of movement profile. I want to set max min for a axis assignment for my 2dof chair and only max for surge in b axis assignment. Thanks for answering take care

    All you need to do is set A Axis Assignments to use Min.Max set #1, and set B Axis Assignments to use Min.Max set #2. (like in the pics below)

    Hi. I done that way but not working for now. I save 2nd profile do 2nd set but no working. On 1st set working. Also parking option works after parking test. Before that no working. Also this is only my Subjective Opinion but after this update motion profile is less agresive on surge. I try set like on v2 but can't get that feeling of gear change. It's working better on increasing up gear but no shake effect on Gering down. I try in dirt 2 and rbr it's only my opinion not tested much but set new profile. Does someone have the same feeling

    Hello Yobuddy,

    I must explain you some details on my G-seat to allow to understand why i need the absolut value.

    I don't have any lateral flaps, my upper part seat back can move on 2 directions, 2 motors allow it (axis L et R) (see schematic karting picture joined)

    If i take a positive R value, it's OK but if I take a negative R value i must transform it in positive value to add it on L axis to create the wished effect that you know.

    Open the registration page and click activate.

    Sorry, I still don't really understand, but in advanced axis assignments there is options for Increase only and Decrease only axes. Maybe this will help?

    @TomKlash,
    May I see your axis assignments buddy, I think it may help me get an idea of your sim.
    I would take a pic of your sim too, if you have one?
    Take care,

    Hi yobuddy and sorry for pinging you again,

    I tested what you said before, but I have the feeling that I dont have any motion to left and right when I turn into a curve (dont know exactly, but I think its the roll value?) Its not easy to find a good setting for each motion engine, I think my njMotion needs some special settings. Anyway thanks for what youre doing for us :)

    In you pic above, it looks like R does sway by itself, and L does surge by itself?
    What is M motor?

    So R only extends when sway is positive.
    And you need L to extend when sway is negative?
    Chat soon,

    You won't want roll and pitch on a seat mover anyway, as it really uncomfortable to sit at a angle for a long time because of a hill for example.

    Found the problem, but it only affects the virtual output and axis testing.
    Already pushed update to the virtual plugin, will push update to SimTools later tonight.
    Take care,

    Everything will auto update.
    (Depending on your options for v3 that is)
    Take care!
