    Is it possible because I have simtools 2 and simtools 3 beta downloaded, do I need to delete one of the versions?

    I have not done it, but am guessing if you have a female usb cable lying around you don't mind sacrificing you could cut that, so you can have easy access to the wires, plug the wheel in to that and test for interference with a multi-meter.

    No, both can be installed on the same computer, that is not the issue.

    But on the other pc I only had simtools 2 installed and it worked perfectly, just with the keyboard, no steering wheel, but I could play LFS without any problem

    I have a problem, when I start simtools my sim rig sits straight, when I open axis testing it leans to one side, then when I play f1 its shaking, no game telemetry

    Hello, is it necessary to reinstall simtools with firewall and antivirus disabled?

    Sometimes, SimTools by necessity accesses game data and some AV get overly aggressive.

    A SimTools v3 manual has yet to be written, as it is in Beta testing and subject to change, but fundamentally the Tuning Center values serve the same purpose as in V2, p.77 onwards: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/rtfm-start-with-the-official-simtools-documentation.117/

    Also see the motion profile tuning tips in the FAQs: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/steps-to-create-a-motion-profile.228/

    Basically you capture base settings for the Tuning Center: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/set-base-tuning-motion-values-in-the-tuning-center.122/

    From there manually tweak the settings. Raising the Tuning Center values will soften the motion over a greater axis movement, lowering the value will do the reverse. See here for an expanded explanation: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/graphic-simtools-parameter-adjustment.9054/#post-113925
