Showroom IL2 Sim on 2 Dof

LFS is a udp output plugin and this seems to be a memory mapped plugin.
Next I would try a different plugin and see what happens.

Did you un-patch, uninstall the plugin then re-install, re-patch with the antivirus turned off, to ensure AV had not messed with the plugin files?

First grab a copy of the SimTools manual and keep it handy for reference: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/rtfm-start-with-the-official-simtools-documentation.117/

Then check out the motion tuning tips in the FAQs: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/steps-to-create-a-motion-profile.228/

In particular you likely need to capture the Max/Min values in the Tuning Center, then manually tweak them from there, the larger the value the more gentle the motion, over a longer axis range, which suits flight sims, the smaller the value the more violent the motion, over a shorter axis range, which suits race sims: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/steps-to-create-a-motion-profile.228/

For 2DOF you need to have DOF1 and DOF2 configured in Axis Assignments.

Please see my previous comments and links for configuration tips: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/il2-sim-on-2-dof.16710/page-7#post-226572

In particular:

Total axis allocation for general aviation flight profiles can be closer to 80-90% of both the available roll and pitch axis, as it is unlikely both will be at their extreme range at the same time. But be a bit more conservative in axis allocation for acrobatic and combat profiles that do use extreme maneuvers.

For flight profiles start with roll and pitch, or where supported by the plugin you can use Extra 1 and 2 in place of pitch and roll, as the later invert from one axis extreme to the other at 180 degree in-game inversion. You will also likely need to use the washout, gain and return filters for best flight effect.

If you do use Pitch and Roll in Axis Assignments make sure Axis Type is Advanced and in the FLT box of Roll and Pitch use the Anti-Rollover checkbox. Anti RollOver is designed to eliminate the 180 degree in-game inversion in rolls and loops. This setting returns the output value to zero when the input is at its max or min setting. For Instance, if we had a Max and a Min of 180°/-180° for an input and this setting was on, any values after 90° start counting back to zero. Making an input of 100° = 80°, 120° = 60°, and 180° = 0°. The same thing happens for the negative values also meaning that a -180° = 0°. (Note: This setting is only intended for the Roll and Pitch inputs from a game.): https://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/simtools-v2-3-is-out.12483/#post-163409

Next, you capture base settings for the Tuning Center: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/set-base-tuning-motion-values-in-the-tuning-center.122/

From there manually tweak the settings. Raising the Tuning Center values will soften the motion over a greater axis movement, lowering the value will do the reverse. See here for an expanded explanation: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/graphic-simtools-parameter-adjustment.9054/#post-113925

Hard to guess what the noise may be, but the pot should be centered when the rig is in its level position.

Normally you would likely feel small adjustments with a pot slightly off, rather than hear a noise.

Does the noise sound electrical or mechanical?

At the present time machine guns have not been implemented in the plugin and if they were it would be via Game Vibe.

So the easiest way to go at the moment would be to use a transducer(s) and game audio data, not perfect but you should get a feel of the guns.

I expect that all plugins will be redone once SimTools 3 is released (currently in Alpha testing), perhaps @value1 and @yobuddy can consider expanding the plugin then.

Hi @xmcnodx,
I can take a look when i get to it for v3 buddy.

That would be awesome @yobuddy as IL-2 Sturmovik: Battle of Stalingrad is a great warbird flight sim.
