SimTools v3 Public Beta

The PC I'm using now has a different motherboard, CPU, and storage, so I can't see the simtools set on the old PC. However, the simtools set on the new PC is the same.

I assembled an old PC. Simtools3 was able to move Thanos and the actuator on the old PC.

Does anyone have luck in using SimTools 3.x with ACE??

I fixed the interface axis and added axis B, but the actuator still doesn't move.

I think you're refering to AC Evo? Yes there is a working plugin

Is there a way for you to run simulator via simtools in AI mode if you a testing a rig for say several hours?

I don't fancy being sat on there all that time

I use AC for this. Just press crtl+c and the AI will drive the car (expect you may need to be using CSP)

The surge channel in F1 24 and likely also F1 22 is just wrong. I would expect that under braking I would lean forward as far as possible and on acceleration lean back.

I ran with only surge set and it made no sense. If anything it was a copy of the heave channel. The other channels all seem to be reasonable. On the off chance that it’s not Codemasters problem could you verify that surge channel is being extracted from the packet as you expect?

Hi Yobuddy,

Really interested to run a RC car with motion in V3. I do run the RCRider in V2, it works sometime ago but not anymore connected to V2 now.
Can we get RCRider plugin in V3?

Thanks

EDIT:
It works again now, needs to rename the RC_Rider into RCRider

Hi yobuddy,

I installed the v3 version some time ago with a Pro license that I have from v2. v2 is also installed, both versions work with my Simxperience hardware. In v2, the selected game waited in the game manager for the game to be started when it was ready for use (green status). It didn't matter from where and how the game was started, the main thing was that the game exe was executed and then the running game was recognized and Simtools started to do its work. How does this work in v3?
My procedure should be as follows: I start the game from the SimCommander of Simxperience so that my seatmover is controlled by the Simcommander. Now I have built a base platform which is placed under the previous seat mover rig and this base platform raises and lowers the whole rig for the “heave” action. The platform is driven by a servo motor in conjunction with a Thanos4u controller. Now I want Simtools v3, as it was in v2, to recognize that the game is running and then start controlling the Thanos controller. However, I can only start the game in the game plugin section, which then starts and controls my Heave action, but the seatmover is not active. In principle, v3 should act as a slave in the combination of Simcommander and Simtool and Simcommander as the master.

I hope that I have described this reasonably clearly and that you can help me here. Otherwise I will continue with v2 until this is perhaps possible in v3.

Many thanks for your help.

@yobuddy Is it possible to share the base code for the V3 DCS and MSFS2024 plugins? DCS currently has no Dash outputs, while FS2024 only has a limited number compared to V2.x
I would think editing these would be a whole lot easier than starting from scratch?

Wow...that's interesting!!

What setup do you refer to? Setup in RC car maybe? Like ESC and servo? Or Simtools V3 setup?

EDIT : Maybe this might be minimized the wiring a bit, https://www.seeedstudio.com/Seeed-XIAO-BLE-Sense-nRF52840-p-5253.html. Ohhh...this one only has bluetooth though

I'm using this to send telemetry data, https://www.cdebyte.com/products/E32-433T30D/2. There is also 900MHz. I also don't feel the delay, if any.

Sounds good
