You can set a parking location in the motion section.

Hi, MapleSyrupTire

(I though I was replying to @MapleSyrupTire post)

You were having difficulties like with Star Wars Squadrons. Your error were like this:

I'm running Windows 11 and Simtools v3 Beta. Just bought the Star wars game from Steam sale.

I saw these same errors as you did, but I did find a solution for this (sort of). I was able to get rid of these errors. I was able to connect star wars plugin to the game without errors. Also, I am able to capture min/max values of motion inputs. I mean that I can see motion input values changing when flying with a fighter. Axis are setup normally and filters don't have deadzone set at all. Intensity 90.

I can't figure out why rig doesn't move though. Can't understand why motion inputs generate values, but there's still no movement. I did set min/max values close to the recorded values.
But no movement. (Needles to say my other titles work ok with motion).

Maybe some one here has an idea why this there is no movement?


What I did was exactly like this guide:

"Here is what I did (and this works for me):
1. I renamed starwarssquadrons_launcher.exe to starwarssquadrons_oldlauncher.exe
2. Under a command line with administrator privileges, I went to the \SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\STAR WARS Squadrons\ folder and typed in the following command:
mklink starwarssquadrons_launcher.exe starwarssquadrons.exe
This will create a symbolic link from the launcher filename to the real main.exe
3. In the Windows explorer, open the properties dialog of the symbolic link icon and tick the box "read-only" so that it won't be automatically replaced (not sure it's bullet proof though).

To launch the game, do not start the main exe directly but simply click on the start button in Steam. You can even directly launch Squadrons in VR mode."

Another request for simtools. Could we please have park when not recieving data. This way rigs would park in between races or when in menu. This would also smooth out initial rig shock when data first is recieved. eg. live for speed dropping car on track when map loads.

Hey guys!
I upgraded my simtools from version 2.3 to v3 and found that my seat seemed to fail without changing other Settings and connections. I used the previous 2.3 Settings and they still didn't work. Should I uninstall version 2.3? Or is there any other solution?
Best wish.

Thank you for noorbeast reply, I have solved the problem.
But I am also curious, if I set the IP address as the third device in addition to the server and PC, can the game data be transmitted through the UDP port?
Best wish.

Hi guys,
as I wrote before I'm building a new computer for my sim rig. It will have upgraded MB, CPU, SSD and OS (Win 11). I will need to make new installations of drivers and software. I have two questions.

1. noorbeast have told several times that SimTools license is only for one PC at the time. Will my current license understand it sits in another PC than before without me doing anything special, such as uninstall the program from my old harddrive (that is still living and kicking but not with any motion platform connected) ?

2. In the Interface menu you can chose Network plugin (see pic above). What is the difference between Network plugin and Serial plugin. I have a NjMotion Evo seatmover and when installing the repo for that one, the Serial plugin is automaticly installed as I understand it. Can I manually chose the Network plugin for my platform and what will happen then?

Kind regards

Thank you for fast reply.

I dont think auto profile switching is working. Project cars plugin enabled auto switching. When game was running noticed new profile in list. Saved current profile to default, swithced to new profile (125cc Shifter Kart) and loaded then saved settings. When playing game profile does not switch. If I manualy switch to new profile I get 0 output to sim rig.

Sorry if I missed this elsewhere, but will our DIY licenses work in V3 *after* it is out of Beta? I see on the simtools.us website there is an option to purchase a DIY license at a discount before the full version is released, but wondering if our existing DIY licenses will be grandfathered in or not. Happy to pay as it's obvious a lot of work went into development, just curious...

Hi everyone!
I'm trying to capture live telemetry data from Assetto Corsa Competizione.I found a couple of related plugins in the forums，such as Capture Live Telemetry BETA (xsimulator.net) and GameEngine output testing tool (xsimulator.net).But these two plugins are only supported in V2, I tried in V3 and it didn't work.
Would you please give me some advice about capturing live telemetry data.Or do we have a plugin that supports the V3 version?
Thanks for your reply!

hello everyone
i've used simtools v2 more than 2 years, now i switched to v3 version
im using nolimits 2 roller coaster as my first attempt to test the v3 version but can't get any motion input from it
after that i used simtools v2 and i got inputs from it
what am i doing wrong here?

nolimits version 2.6.4.0 with --telemetry command
windows 10

Thank you yobuddy for your reply！
Maybe I didn't make myself clear enough，Englishi is not my first language，so pleaser forgive me.
What I'm trying to accomplish is to make simtools output the data it gets in-game to the PC through UDP.Maybe I need to make my own interface plugin?Unfortunatly，I'm not good at .NET.
Would you please give me some advice?

Hi Yobuddy,
I recently reisntall my Windows, then installed Simtools 3 and got this notification.
How do I fix that?

Thanks
