    You can set it up under Interface Setup (from the main hamburger menu - upper right)

    I little confusing about how to "wind" working on dash. I choose TRUE WIND or SPEED? On output rules, dint use "Math * 1, Round 0, and Pad 3 0" for example? I try "GetBits 1 5 8 d" and my fans runs at max speed. On output settings, i just put ONE VAR is this correct? Like "<Sp3> , diferent old v2.5 ( S<Dash1> ) right? How can i access the tab "3d fans"?

    Speed usually.

    Math * 1, anything * 1 is the same value, so this won't do anything I believe.
    Round 0 basically turns the output into a integer.
    Pad 3 0, means pad with '0' so a 3 output would be come a '003'.

    I try "GetBits 1 5 8 d" and my fans runs at max speed. On output settings.
    This would only allow a speed input of 1 to 5.
    I think you would want "GetBits 1 100 8 d" or something like that?
    And for decimal output you may still need: Round 0 and Pad 3 0.

    The 3d speed fans can be assigned like this 'S' + 'F' + # <sf1> or <sf2>

    About finding the 3D fans for the game?
    The plugin does not support 3D speed fans I'm afraid.
    https://simtools.us/plugin/?varname=30&color=0e97dd

    I need to post the updates to the game API soon.
    As 3D speed fans was not available when the plugin was built I believe.

    Be sure to setup a dash interface in the interface section, just like you did for motion and vibe.

    yes, i did it. speed works as well, i try my wind sim in simtools 2.6 and works perfectly. on v3, show me correctly speeds variation, but no wind on fans. Maybe some error on my variable in interface output?
    i can use "S<Sp1>" or only "<Sp1>"?

    Let's say the current speed value is 50, then:
    S<Sp1> would send 'S50'
    Where <Sp1> would send '50'
    Hope that makes sense, it would just matter on what you need for output is all.

    I assume problem was faulty potentiometer. I have changed it and now i can run simtools v3. BUT i have another question, about f1 22 gears. I know that surge is responsible for gear kicking, but i can get that kick only from 6gear to 8gear. I have tried Min/Max tunning adjust, if i set 0.2-0.6 value, on braking my rig swings too much nose down and it feel unrealistic, if i set above 0.6, then braking is ok, but gears kicking only 7th and 8th. And also depends on situation where am i in a track, downhill gears feeling ok, uphill some time no kicking at all. If someone has any suggestions, please share. :)

    Sorry for late response. I am using roll, pitch sway, surge.

    That would make sense, could be a loose connection too.

    Set Surge to the blue capture 'C' option and capture max/mins. (Instead of the green balanced option)
    You will find that the max and min value to not need to be balanced to get the best result.
    It may depend a bit on the resolution of your motors, but believe it will work better this way.

    I suggest you sent your axis profile so your only using surge, to make it as easy to get it as good as can be.
    Then add the others back in and you should be good to go.
    Take care,

    Hi,

    I have built 2DOF motion and finished about 98%. It's in testing, really I amaze with it.

    Have question, How do I enable Simtools V3 Beta in Content Manager of AC? I want run Simtools through Content Manager.

    Thanks

    We just uploaded a DCS plugin. Please test it out and see if everything is working as it should.

    That's the one what I'm looking for. I have seen it but forgot where is it. Works now!
    Thanks

    BTW, Is there another choices type of potensiometer instead the contactless one? I'm using ordinary potensiometer, but the Green line trace is lot of spike. Is this some values in SMC3.exe wrong or not proper potensiometer used? I have try changing Kp, Ki, Kd but can't elimintae the spikes. The rig moves jaggy with Testing Settings.

    Good evening everyone. After a few weeks of absence, I put my butt back on the simulator. I was trying simtools v3 and simhub. following the "flipflop" instructions both work....great. But now I wanted to be able to configure "simdashboard" as well. Mission Impossible? In simhub I tried to set "port forwarding" from 20778 to 20777 and entered port 20777 in simdashboard but it didn't work. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks to anyone who can help me

    Hi,

    I have a Symdeck S2 and for the life of me can't figure out how to get it up and running with the beta. Anyone able to help on how to go about setting this up? I appreciate any help!
