    Hi everyone,

    I introduced myself last night on the forum, and give the low down about me moving from console to pc, and thus VR and 2dof.

    Its a amazing what you guys have established together, I look forward to being a player to do my part.

    Well, I am stuck at the first hurdle.

    I currently have 2 x scn5's wired into my HTPC (killer machine coming later, just testing prior to new build) via USB. I have not even started my build. I want to understand everything first on the software side first.

    I have paid the year for xSimulator, downloaded, and the 2 demos in the title.
    I have used the slider test in software and have been able to move my Scn5's.

    I patched both games.

    Rfactor states game connected in game manager, but nothing happens in the software, no sliders moving, and no actuator movement.

    NoLimits, doesn't even say connected.

    So either i am doing something wrong, or demos not supported?

    Thank you.

    Could be lots of things, but for one, for motion in no-limits you have to activate 'telemetry' - don't know if that is even available in the Demo. I don't use Rfactor. Also, hope you are on the right site, we use SimTools and not Xsimulator.

    I don't think the current NL2 plugin supports the demo, though an older one did for an earlier version. Not sure about Rfactor.

    The demo LFS does work and I would suggest using that just to get things moving, then we can assist in sorting various plugin issues, knowing that your sim actually works.

    Thank you - SEATTIME / NOORBEAST :
    Yes sorry simtools from xsimulator
    I'll look into turning on telementry for no limit

    GOOD NEWS - I got Rfactor working

    ISSUE: NOT USING ZIP FILE
    WHY: I downloaded from macbook to nas, then remote into HTPC to install (copy from was to desktop). But I only had a folder, and thought the zip info must be out of date.
    *****It turns out my mac unzipped on the fly leaving me only the folder! damn it! - apple trying to be too fancy!

    I'll look into LFS.

    All exciting stuff. Thanks guys
