    I want to test the data from Live For Speed ,So I use Virtual Axis output testing,but when I start driving,the slider moves randomly and Game Engine just throw an exception blow:
    System.OverflowException: Arithmetic operation resulted in an overflow.

    mmm Can not see what bitrange you are using, please fix your DPI settings in windows needs to be run at 100%
    Not setting there could be creating the error.
    My question , Net output ??? what controller are you using ?

    I am using bitrange of 8.I'm going to use SCN6,but my SCN6 hasn't arrived yet ,so I want to be familiar with SimTools before it arrived.So I just use virtual
    axis to test the data from LFS .I saw from the
    "How to write a Plugin for SimTools - API documentation"
    that LFS export telemetry data via UDP packets,so I set a net output.Is this wrong?But how to correct it.

    Try another port than 4123. This port is used by SimTools for LFS.

    For SCN5 use you don't set the interface to NET, Its SCN.
    For testing SimTools and to use the virtual axis to see the data from LFS you actually don't need to set any interfaces at all.
    Just set the default axis assignments and copy that to the LFS Axis Assignments, Patch the Game with the Game Manager and start the game.
    Click on to the Virtual Axis and now the information will be shown on the sliders when on track in the game.

    I think you were misunderstanding that SimTools needs to be setup to read the values LFS is exporting, that happen in the background for you , The Magic of SimTools.

    @eaorobbie,I followed your steps to not set any interfaces,but when i run LFS ,the slider of virtual axis didn't move at all.

    Ok, if you only want to have a play with SimTools do this:
    Start GameManager and GameEngine
    In GameManager patch the game (LFS)
    GM1.png
    In GameEngine copy exactly these settings:
    GE_AA.png
    GE_IS.png
    Take *any* COM-port you find. It doesn't matter.
    Interface - Output shall read: <221><Axis1><Axis2><Axis3><Axis4><Axis5><Axis6>
    The switch to the VirtualAxis tab Output Testing and click Turn On
    GE_VA.png
    You can also open the Tuning Centre via the taskbar

    And watch what happens

    @value1 ,I download the latest version of LFS,and follow your settings,the slider didn't move at all.but if I change LFS to my old versions,and also your settings exactly,it's strange that the slider moves randomly.What is wrong.I am going crazy.

    After you installed the latest version, did you unpatch and re-patch the game?

    And what are your Max/Min settings in Tuning Centre?
    The lower the more vibration (or "random" movement) you will see.
    [​IMG]
    LFS outputs "random" data even when your car is standing. There is always a minimum vibration when the engine is running.

    this is a capture of the tuning center UI when I run LFS.

    Every time the slider moves,it must move to the left or to the right.Even when my car stand.And then the game engine throws an exception.If I don't turn on the virtual axis,the tuning center has input but if then I set on the virtual axis the exception occurs.And I capture a pitch of 1.94499E40,and many numbers like that.

    Hmm, I tend to think it has to do with your local (Chinese) settings. The files is patched correctly so it should move correctly.
    I'm on the road. Will see if I can send you some instructions later.
