    Your question should be directed to Eleetus, as the core question is specifically how their rigs communicate with whatever hardware and controllers they use.

    SimTools can be used with a very wide range of hardware, but it must know how to communicate with that hardware and some commercial entities, particularly those with their own control software, do not always make that information available.

    th‘x for your answer. The bluetiger platform react when I use the net with 127.0.0.1 and port 55556, but I platform move at test button directly to the back left. I don‘t know how I should address the axis and the right figures for them in the settings.
    Maybe some one van help me. This would be great. I‘m pretty sure that this brilliant simtool software is able to work with my motion platform.
    Maybe there exist a way to get this out step by step
    Regards

    What manual or information do you have about the rig hardware and its configuration, as that may help?

    Dear noorbeast
    th'x for your request. attached you will get some pictures from my rig. As i think it is a 2DOF with totating actuators with a central moving point. But i ask the manufactorer -now Eleetus - to look for some more technical data. Wilson bates is my contact in that company. He already adressed his interest to step into our conversation at this forum, because this is in the benefit for the community at. I also try to use the free platform FlyPTmover but come to the same result, with the setting 127.0.0.1 and port 55556, that the rig only move to the back left position. With port 55557 , which i also can usde for dirt game, the rig come in a horrible shaking condition. i also added some text files for settings of my rig.
    For the setting of the BlueTiger Utiliy I use IP adress 10.0.0.100 Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
    Default gateway is 1.0.0.0
    I hope this will make the situation more transparent. As soon i get some more infos i will send these or Wilson Bates from Eleetus will step into our conversation, too
    take care Gerd

    Dear norbeast,
    no, the physical output test brought with port 55556 the rig in the back left position and with port 55557 a horrible shaking. I simply did not know what parameters in need to put in the two axes at simtools and I need help!
    TH‘x in advance

    This is not just a question of what port is used, but the what format the data is to communicate with the hardware controller(s).

    I don't know if the SimTools dev @yobuddy has any historical experience with bluetiger motion rigs, but I am sure he would be willing to help out interfacing those if the company is willing to detail data communication requirements.

    See my previous comment, it is really a question of the company providing information about how to communicate with the rig:

    Try approaching the manufacturers, you never know, they may be wiling to provide the required information.
