    I test in SMC3, everything works. I leave SMC3 running, open game engine and game manager and try output testing, absolutely nothing happens. Not so much as a noise or a twitch....NOTHING. I've bought lifetime subscriptions, registered it, patched games and synced the engine and manager. I cant for the life of me figure out what I'm doing wrong. PLEEEEEEAASE HELP.

    Here are screen shots of my settings and hardware. motion box shows 2 arduino's and 6 Ibt2's and 2 psu's. Thats because this is my 6 dof motion box Im only using one side of it for the 3 dof rig.

    1 Arduino uno R3>3 Ibt2's 43A>1 5ooW 42A 12V psu>3 12-24V wheelchair motors (complete specs are unclear)
    AMD RYZEN 9 5900XT>Nvidia 1080>16G 3600MHz ram>650W psu>Cooler Master AIO cooled PC Screenshot 2022-03-24 032631.png Screenshot 2022-03-24 032706.png Screenshot 2022-03-24 032649.png Screenshot 2022-03-24 033251.png 20220226_133344.jpg 20220323_042519.jpg 20220323_042630.jpg 20220323_042640.jpg

    The indicator being blue means a patched game has been detected as running, you should not be messing with any game until you know everything is working as expected in Output testing.

    You need to be systematic, do one thing at a time, not mess with a bunch of stuff all at once.

    Reboot the computer and try Output Testing.

    I'm in the middle of testing right now I can get motion in simtools manually but I just haven't gotten any motion out of a game yet. I think maybe it's because of the profile editor. I have dirt rally 2 out put down to about 40 at something. so I'm getting ready to try it with a higher setting right now I will post it soon as I have it

    Make sure that you have axis assignments for the specific game, and not just the default profile configured buddy.
    Take care,
