    Some game don't report to SimTools what vehicle you using so auto profiling can not be used. But you can tab out of the game and select the profile you want and hop back in without shutting down telemetry or stopping the game. Eventually I want a v3 version of the remote profiler like we have for v2, but I just have not had time for this addon yet.

    I'm not sure I understand, as we can already do this by setting up another interface to use the unused comport. (as we have 6 interfaces we can use in v3)

    Hi Team,


    I have a issue with a Prosimu P5MP platform/Iracing and simtools 3


    Seems iracing sometimes does not give out the telemetry data so there is no movement, no third party apps and hardware works, im thinking it’s a file lock issue? I restarted the machine, made sure simhub and SRS was closed started iracing first and then launched the other programs and I could not get it to work. When it works it works great, just sometimes it doesn’t.


    Has anyone seen this error before? Maybe I should not autoload simtools as well to make sure there is no file locks?

    Jon

    Hello,
    After i got a new pc i cant get vibe (or any other) inputs to work. trying to capture hi/low values for calibrating my new sims, but its always at 0. Tried with different games, read on the forum and manual but i cant find anyting that will help. I start the games by double clicking them in sim tools, and it show "Stop", so i guess that the app know they are running. Also did the interface setup. The plugins are up-to date.

    If I'm using Simtool 3 with LMU, and I have a ProSimu P7MP, do I need to use roll rate, pitch rate, yaw rate?

    It's not even clear what units are being used or if I should change them... I can't get kerbs details rapidly enough...

    I have the same issue with ProSimu P7MP.

    In order to help with this iRacing issue (don't have it with LMU)...
    1. Start SimTools.
    2. Do not start Simhub, SRS, etc...
    3. Start iRacing.
    4. When you are on track, ALT-TAB
    5. Then start SimHub, and other sim software.

    Dear Flight SimTools V3 Users, asking for your expertise. SimTools V3, 6DOF Hexapod, FlightSimulator 40th anyversity (2022). 2x Arduino Uno R3, SMC Utils V1.0 Rotary actuators
    Testing within SimTools V3 (Virtual) all looks al right, when controlled by Flightsim 2024 movements are not okay. E.g. Pitch is just the otherway around (Also the Virtual picture is showing pitch just the wrong way around). I was expecting when all tests within SimTools 2024 (including the Virtual presentation) is okay then the controlling by Flightsim2024 must be also okay? I add couple of screen shots, for information. Also "Crank Angles" is me not clear what to enter there (left all default).
    Thanks for suggestions! Kind regards, Piet

    Update; I downloaded the plugin for the old simtools, and it works fine. So its something between simtools v3 and game.
