    Shameless self promotion (or in fact not)
    In the below link you can find a small tool I made to dump the data coming from witmotion on roll + pitch to a mmf file for OpenXR motion compensation or to UDF.
    I am having way better results with this. I use this in combination with my rig + flypt for the rig, but bypass flypt for the data of Witmotion.

    Hope you enjoy!

    If this support udp or mmf and you only need roll/pitch, then yes. I don't use simtools nor IL2

    Hello, I like the use of your software for getting a Witmotion sensor to communicate with FlyPT Mover. Is there an easy way to add support for all of the axes used in a 6 DOF platform besides pitch and roll?

    Thanks

    Hi the sensor would not allow this to do accurate and I cannot read this directly from it. Hence the limitation to pitch and roll.

    Ok, that makes sense. Does the program look at yaw? I thought I might have seen a version on Reddit that adds yaw.

    Thanks again.
