    I find it quite a faff to mess about with the sim tuning to set up a car and sim program

    I am considering building a 6 pot interface that allows me to turn up and down an axis at will whilst the sim is working

    What is the best approach here

    Can an interface be built build that talks to sim tools and adjusts max values up and down ?

    Should i build a box that captures the data stream and manipulates it and then transmits it on

    Should i add pots to the controllers them selves and do it this way ?

    Does the smc3 program allow pots to adjust output ?

    Any suggestions ?

    Has this been done before ?

    @yobuddy

    Can you think of a way i can talk to sim tools to do this ?

    Perhaps i can adjust the numbers in the tuning centre ?
