    Hum...I used to work without any problems, but not anymore.

    First of all, Thanos Cntroller doesn't work at all in test mode.

    SMC3 works strangely in test mode.

    It is the same as a typical UDP signal contamination problem.

    Open registration page and click check reg buddy.
    Due to a reg update awhile ago, this may be required for some.
    Take care,

    I'm still testing console plugins.
    i have a problem with the gran turismo 7 plugin.
    Motion works, but i have select higher value for the movement - in total 204 for good movement.
    when i activate the vibe and make settings simtools crashes.
    In taskmanager simtools.exe is closed.

    Thanks

    It's better to logically set the axis assignments to between 100 to 120% total usage, and then simply adjust the Max/Min values for the plugin. You will get a better ride this way.

    I would have to know which vibe input is the problem.
    (since I did not create the plugin itself, we will have to contact the plugin writer and let him know the problem.)
    (may be worth figuring out how to re-create the problem first thou._
    Take care!

    which input is used makes no difference.
    I test rpm road details,
    the test of the settings leads to a crash of simtools

    And the Interface page, where you first configured what sound card to use, does the test work there?

    I think you have to register v3 separately.

    Go to your v2.x registration module, get your license and email and plug into v3. That should do it, unless that's not your problem.

    We are going through all V3 plugins and updating the DOF output values to be the same direction for all games, so you might see some directional changes in some of your game plugins. We want the plugins outputting data in the same direction so that global profiles will work across all game plugins of that type.

    Dirt Rally 1 and 2 console plugins.

    @Moppi07
    I'm not sure you can turn telemetry on in the console version of these games?
    Before I load them to the repo, maybe you could give them a test?
    Chat soon,

    Hi yobuddy
    I did the test you showed me and funnily enough simtools didn't crash anymore.

    @yobuddy

    Did you check the local language setting problem?

    This was not just a problem in a particular game, but a problem that occurred in every game/interface that used UDP signals.

    Codemaster all series, LFS, Thanos controller, SMC3 interface, etc...

    I wased very happy to think that it was solved in v3...

    I tested it in various ways just in case, but it's the same problem as before.

    Hi all.

    I'm a new user of Simtools V3. I bought a NJMotion Compact Evo seatmover a while ago. I'm very happy with it so far, I drive my racing simulations, especially RF2, with great pleasure from Simtools V3 plugins.

    I have problems though to make it work with my installation of DCS. I have the stand alone version of DCS open world beta.

    I have downloaded the plugin for DCS and draged and dropped the zip file into the Simtool menu for plugins and linked it to my save game folder.

    When I first tried to start it from the plugin, it wanted to install the steam edition of DCS. Since I don't want that version (I have bought all my modules for the stand alone version) I tried to drag and drop the DCS
    exe file to the DCS banner in Simtool. And yes, it launched my stand alone version from the plugin ok. But no motion.

    I have tested the roll motion inside Simtools test window and that seems to work, but not pitch and yaw.

    I really should appriciate som help.

    Kind regards

    //Michael
