    Wagnard,

    At me in the srv there is no roll and pitch. The other forces are Ok, like before.

    Cheers,
    George

    Nice stuff really :)

    For Pitch and roll in SRV, change the Address to one of theses in the XML and tell me the one that works for you (you have to restart at least gamemanager each time after you save. (do not patch):
    Currently: 0364D328
    Try either of theses:
    0364FD78
    0364FDF8
    0364F530
    0364FE10
    0364FE20
    0364FE40
    0364FE60
    0364FE80
    0364FEA8
    0364FEB8
    03654198
    03659528

    My little finger is telling me that the first one is the good one, but you will tell me ;)
    Back in +- 1 hour, have some snow to blow away outside.

    Wagnard,

    I have tested.
    First, the current plugin updates the xml not with 0364D324, but with 0364D328 as srv roll and pitch.
    First i have tested with 0364D324. In this case no roll and pitch, and all the other
    forces has gone in the srv...strange...
    Than I have tested all other suggested addresses, the other forces in the srv has come back, but still no roll and pitch.

    Cheers,
    George

    Don't forget that they are set at Extra by default too. Check in the GameEngine tuning .

    Edit: George confirmed that everything was ok finally. So the pointers are all good.

    Wagnard,

    There is a strange issue with the plugin I realized. When I'm in wing with other players, or there are other online players in the same insta with me, the SRV movement has gone. In the ship everything is OK as before, but in the SRV there is no data from that addresses. If I go back to solo or I'm just alone, the SRV movement is coming back, it's OK again.
    I know it is a special issue that hard to create, so if you need some assistance - I mean teamviewing - I can help with one of my friend we can go in wing in Elite, so you can get the addresses via my pc.

    Cheers,
    George

    Thanks for the information, I'll. Probably. Give a look later today, currently at work.
    In the mean time, remember the list of address I gave you earlier try some of theses in wings.

    Got a repro and testing some value on my end, will update when I get something stable.

    Edit: Here is the updated XML. Dont forgot to change the forces and the Extra for your 6dof.
    Edit 2: removed, need more testing.
    Edit 3: updated.
    Tell me if it work normally in solo and Wing

    Guys,

    How am i supposed to add the axis extra 1 or 2? I have only room left for one of the 2. use SRV Pitch now, but would be nice to add roll too.

    Am i missing something basic here?

    Thanks!

    In the XML, there is a configurable option for you that you can switch the "extras" to the normal roll & pitch, also you can configure the force strength there too as the SRV doesn't react as smooth as the ship. Usually a 3% value is good.

    I'll probably remove that option in the future and enable the SRV pitch and roll on both the usual and the extra.

    Ok, so set the UseextraForSRV to false, and then change the 100 to just 3 in the roll and pitch for SRV in the XML?

    Exactly.
    You will have to restart game manager after that change too.

    Thanks, works great, did a 10 for roll and 50 for pitch (i like the pitch feeling when going downhill haha)
    But they slowly reset to normal/level, i guess this is normal?

    Thanks again Wagnard! This makes Elite a dream

    I'm not aware that they reset to normal. You mean they slowly get back to 100% ?

    For instance when i park the SRV on a slope it slowly gets back to normal position. But in the tuning center the values stay the same... I am not an simtools expert btw

    This is because of your simtools settings, you probably set a gain / Washout on the filter of theses dof
