SimTools v3 Public Beta

allright, so theres no need to specify in the launch options, theres only configured in the telemetry game options. that's all, and still not workyng, I spend a long time last night trying different things, as I said, is the only game that does.nt work, I just uninstalled F1 2022

I decided to confirm the current status of F1 24. All I did when I installed it was to note that running from SteamVR didn't work and it worked as soon as I started it from SimTools. No drag and drop or any other adjustments.

1) The executable is F1_24.exe. The process name is F1 24 and there are no child processes in Task Manager. Yes, that is a space in the process name.
2) When I run from SteamVR there is no indication of any motion "hookup" and no movement in game.
3) When I run from SimTools the rig moved when F1 24 initialized. This implies motion is hooked up.
4) When I run the game there is no motion in the game.

I know that the game had a significant update since I played it last. In that update all assistance setting were turned on which is not the way I left it. My theory is that the update also lost some important motion data. I will try uninstalling and reinstalling the plugin tomorrow. It definitely broke because I ran it every week from when it came out until the end of the season. Now it appears not to work (unless my motion system is coincidentally broken).

so, it isn't working for you either! the difference is that I can't get it to work from the play button in Simtools, I dont get movement in any way, youbuddy is working in a solution

The process name is <F1 24>. Yep that's a space.

I will reinstall today and see if I can get it working.

MSFS literally broke my rig (2dof) and I kinda need to fix it first. Is there any way to enable a log of incoming game data? It seems to me that everything is fine and you get a spike on both motors. It’s quite violent and doesn’t go down much with 100% smoothing and 30% overall profile.

I may do the SMCUtils on another PC in the middle to provide a visual of the motor inputs. Or I will just stay in Richard Burns Rally because that it much less violent than MSFS. Seriously.

I did the following and ONLY the following:

1) Confirmed it wasn't working at all.
2) Uninstalled the plugin.
3) Ran a complete race.
4) Reinstalled the plugin.
5) Ran from SimTools - worked correctly.
6) Ran from Steam - did not hook up.

I loaded the plugin at about 2:00PM EST.

in order to launch from simtools you only have to drag the steam F1 shortcut to the banner of the plugin or is it something else I should know? none of my games launch from the PLAY button, I excute them from steam app or the desktop shortcut and the simtools automatically detect them

Going back to the topic, about simhub and simtools to run dirt rally 2, I tried everything, udp forwarding and I had no luck, I read 10 threads and configured everything correctly, well there is no way, I don't know which one works without compatibility, the truth is that It would be great if the simtools plugin worked as before, but I understand it is not a priority.
If someone gives me a hand I would be super grateful.

can you believe I was not!? is tnat something new? I think I jad started games before with just one click, this is embarassing, well is working now, I can launch the game from the Simtools but in order to play VR mode I have to make two shortcuts? one with the commands -vr -opernxr and other without it? is it gonna be possible to fix the autodetect for this game!?

I've finally gotten my Yaw motor to work with the Thanos AMC and SimTools! (The motor was quite broken.) I'm now able to fly around space with full three-degree movement.

My system is "special" in that it can rotate indefinitely—it uses a giant gear and slipring, so it never needs to return to it's starting position on the mechanical level. I spoke to Thanos himself about this, and he said his system can't do the math for infinite rotation, so it must always return to the start position.

Don't get me wrong, this works great! I'm having an amazing time with the insane amount of rotation I have. However, I’d love to end a gaming session facing a completely different direction than when I started, since every turn adds up. I've considered controlling the yaw directly and sending those commands to the game in tandem, but much like joystick mode, it wouldn’t be truly 1:1 anymore.

Before I even start planning that, I realized I never asked the specific question to you guys—so let’s make sure: Is there any setting in SimTools that would zero out the yaw after a telemetry instruction instead of forcing it to return to its starting position?

Hell yes I'm going to PM you, that sounds awesome!

Hi,
unfortunately Gamevibe doesn‘t work anymore in the Games. When I press the Test button in the Game, Simtools crashes immediately (see below).
But the whole equipment (Soundcard, Buttkickers, Amp) works definitively and everything was fine over months but now I have this problem.
Do you have an idea?
Thanks

Yes, that‘s it!!!
Many thanks to you yobuddy

Try to lower down the fpwm to 25kHz. Happened to me once, if not try to check the min max of the potentiometers
