    Wanting to do some 'dry testing' of my new 6dof racing simulator. I mean, run the rig without actually driving/playing the racing game.

    I have Assetto Corsa (also have Content Manager installed). The rig is using SimTools with SMC3/Arduino.

    Someone mentioned somewhere that you can 'record' the game like the Assetto Corsa, then play the file, which moves the sim rig as if you are racing. Not sure what the name of this process.
    Please let me know. Thanks!

    I found I could play a practice session then click CTRL+C to start the AI Driver, and my sim rig's actuators are alive!

    Can not wait to get the top frame done! Exciting!
