    Tried a quick test with the new 1.6.5 . Like @Flymen , I can make the rig move with Simtools, but not from Asseto Corsa. I changed my computer and Live For Speed does not work anymore. I tried Elite Dangerous and no results. It looks like I am not receiving any data from any game.

    With Hexapod, if I go for the lowest position, it does not comes back when I switch it of. It stay at the lowest position until I play with the heave in simtools. That brings it back to position.

    When I save a profile, It does not bring back the center position if you have changed it.

    @Flymen and @Pierre Lalancette

    Made some test's, trying to reproduce this problem, but it doesn't happen to me.
    That's strange.
    Do you get data in Simtools and not in the Interface? Or not even in Simtools?
    You can use the tuning center in Game engine tools to see if you get data from the game.
    If you don't get data in tuning center, then it might be a permission problem or a patch problem.
    If you get data in Simtools and not in the interface, then are you sure you selected the FlyPT output interface and pressed save button?
    If yes, then the problem might be on my interface, but I didn't change anything in that part of the code.

    I doubt it comes from your Hexapod. In Simtool, during the game, I get no change in the Virtual Axis window. I'm yet to understant the Tuning Center, but trying to capture the highest value, I got zeros.

    I suspect the patch and some permission problem, but I have little idea on how to debug that.

    I might plug my old computer to see if it still works. Then, it could be some changes in the version of LFS, because I have an older version on that computer.

    So many possibilities and so little knowledge of my problem. Thanks for your hints.

    @Flymen How did you fix your problem with Asseto Corsa in the first place? I have the exact same problem.

    I talked with Flymen and I have another lead of what could be wrong. I have a new installation of Simtools and its IP might not be set correctly. I may not be receiving data from the game because of that. I'll check next weekend. :rolleyes:

    Latest version has rotating actuators. Any reason you didn't try?

    Hi @pmvcda I tried to test with my Thanos's AMC1280USB board, but it didn't work unfortunatelly, I tried with this configuration that you wrote, and also what @Thanos has said. But FlyPT does not link to the board. :(
    However it works with hexpod interface.

    I saw in @Thanos blog, that we need LF and CR chars in the end of the string:

    <255><255><Axis1a><Axis2a><Axis3a><Axis4a><Axis5a><Axis6a><Axis1b><Axis2b><LF><CR> <<<< This is wrong! For correct string, see first page of thread!

    We have to replace LF and CR by the corresponding bytes. So it should be:

    <255><255><Axis1a><Axis2a><Axis3a><Axis4a><Axis5a><Axis6a><Axis1b><Axis2b><10><13> <<<< This is wrong! For correct string, see first page of thread!

    Can you try?

    Thanks
