    There is an update to f1 2023 to fix this games error, people without the update will see a little white arrow on the games banner. know that you can click the little white arrow to update the game plugin.

    Axis limiting is static and used for all games, so simply set values and they will be used for all game plugins.
    Hope that helps.

    My guess is you do not have them assigned in your axis profile?
    (seems to be working here is all)

    Chat soon all,

    I see, have just an idea, how if Axis Limiting, Parking Location, Crash Detection put in Home (in game banners).

    BTW, the Output Interface command is [A<Axis1a>]. What is the A capital refer to?

    All the motion related stuff is in the motion section.

    I'm guessing your referring to the SMC3 sketch for the Arduino? [A<Axis1a>][B<Axis2a>][C<Axis3a>]
    If so, its how the sketch inputs data is all, with the 'A' referring to motor one, B is motor two and C is motor three.

    I add: I just finished installing and testing il2 with plugins 2.0.5 and everything seems to work correctly. I don't know why the il2 also doesn't directly move the engines in the game, if it does in test input.

    What does your axis assignments and max/min settings for dcs look like in v3 buddy?

    Yes, I'm referring to that command. Thanks for the info, it's clear now.

    What setting do you have to use in the telemetry screen in f12023?

    Please check that the cable between your PC and the simulator is well connected.
    Then I would reboot and give it another go.
    (Antivirus is the only other thing I can think of, what are you using buddy?)
    Please let me know how it goes.
    Take care,

    We just posted an update to Automobilista 2. You can now use Project CARS 2 in the system settings.

    I will start with, I know I missed something, but I cannot figure out what. I built my rig and it is driven with an arduino. I have seen similar problems to mine in the forum, but none of the answers seem to fix my issue. I downloaded LVS to help diagnose any issues (ultimately GT7 via playstation is my goal) with either game, I can see the telemetry move in Simtools, but no motion output to my rig, not even in testing. (works fine in SMC utility) Game seems to grab the com port for the arduino, but provides no information to drive it. I have downloaded and configured serial interface and axis assignments. What am I missing????

    @MR Fast,
    Please make sure the SMC utility is not running, then goto your interface settings for motion and click "Test Settings". Does it work?
    If not, can I get a screenshot of your interface settings.
    Chat soon,

    Please set the BitsPerSec to 500000 and it should work.

    now I get an error message, "Unable to start interface" I did have that at times prior to the change we just made. Shut it all down and started back up and it worked with the interface test settings..... went to LFS and it is working in the game too...... now to work on my axis settings....... Thanks a ton!!!!

    I stumbled upon a modified SMC sketch with soft start by BlazinH ....sounds great but looks like the thread died in 2019......anyone using this and how does it work??? Can I just compile it over the original, or do I need to save my settings in SMC utility first?
