    baudrate: 115200
    bits: 8
    pirity: None
    stop bit: 1
    Rate: 10ms

    Output: <Axis1a>......

    With a commercial rig you should, in the first instance, contact the manufacturer for support.

    The DOFreality creator @Radioproffi is the best placed member here to assist.

    That said, please post pictures of your settings, rather than a description, and check in Device Manager to confirm Com4 is correct.

    thanks i did check DOFReality and they said they would not help since they only support officially Racing Sim, not SimTools.

    this is what the settings look like below.

    Yes in the Device manager, when you plug and unplug the motion simulator COM4 shows up so we know that its com4.

    technically it should be pretty straight forward i thought.

    One things i will have them try is to make sure Race Sim is not still running in the windows Processes.

    We have changed the BitsPerSec to 500000, 9600 etc and still no go.

    any help would be nice.
