    It would be interesting to see your set up.
    Otherwise , if you ask the question on www.x-sim.de , there may be an answer there. :)

    K8055s work fine with electric motors - since sirnoname posted that comment about k8055s only being good for pneumatic or hydraulic I have done much experimentation, and fully documented a couple of viable k8055 solutions.

    http://www.x-simulator.de/forum/k8055-dual-wiper-motor-control-with-variable-speed-t2795.html

    Ok - not as fast as some of the commercial solutions on here, but super cheap and perfectly effective for aircraft sims

    Here's one of my test actuators:

    To directly answer your first question, use a pc per k8055 - known issue ;o)

    I would advise too only use it in a flight sim situation as its refresh rate causes way too much lag, pc end and game end to be an effective race sim, tested this myself many moons ago.
    No there is not a fix, makers wont update the dll for it. Sorry we have asked this from them.
