    I made 2Dofs Motion followed this man.

    It's working with SMC3 utils.
    It works fine. Idle lever position is right there where I want.

    But in Simtools levers got twisted.
    I have same problem with this man below.


    He solved this with simtools v2.5.
    I also tried this. Lever works fine but it doesn't work with other motion.

    I tried [A<128>][B<128>] or L7FR7F at start & shutdown output.
    But it doesn't work.

    I really really want to use my motion but I can't.
    Please understand my poor Enlgish.

    so do you mean it's because of jumble wires?

    it's perfect with SMC3 utils.
    if it's because of wrong wiring, then it won't work with SMC3 utils.

    If it all works OK in SMC3 then I need to see all your SimTools settings to be able to try and give some advice.

    I just recorded my error.
    Please check and help me. I'm so frustrated now.
    I just don't know how I should do. I just want to give up now.

    Thank you. Dear noorbeast.

    *I was 3d printing something while I recorded.
    Just don't misunderstand. It's not motor sound.

    In the video when you closed SMC3 you opened SimTools from the system tray, that means that SimTools was already running and you can't run SMC3 and SimTools at the same time, as it will cause a port conflict.

    My poor old eyes can't read the settings in the video, you need to post pictures of all of them instead.

    Last of all, just to rule it out, make sure the computer is set to English local: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/simtools-language-setting-bug-change-to-english-local.233/

    I suggest setting the parking locations back to default (all centered), and then removing the Startup and Shutdown interface assignments as they are not needed in v3. But like noorbeast mentions above, we really need to see pics of your settings, or we are sorta guessing as to what it could be.
    Chat soon!

    First of all, I appreciate your interests and effort to solve my problem.
    I attached another video.

    As you can see I finished all setup.
    PC, Triple 50" monitors, Wheel, Pedal, everything except motion simulator.
    I can't enjoy sim racing because seat is detached from motion sim.

    I'm sure you are busy in real life but please help me.
    Thank you.

    The pictures need to be of all of your settings, not the hardware.

    You can hear the error in the video, on SimTools startup (Beep, beep),
    My guess is interface cant start error in the error log.
    Is the smc3 utilities still running?

    But like Noorbeast said above, we need pics for your simtools settings to help.
    Take care,
    yobuddy

    I uploaded the setting pic.

    in the video i also heard beep sound. maybe smc3 didn't be turned off.
    but trust me I've tried hundreds of time to launch Sim Tools
    after boot the pc i terminated all kinds of programs and launched Sim Tools.
    didn't work.

    As @yobuddy explained the audio sound is an error warning, likely an interface not initialising correctly.

    SimTools v3 has an error log, so please check it and post the full content of any errors:

    That looks like the com port is incorrect in your settings, double check in Device Manager.
