    It seems it only saves partially the information. Some parameters are restored to initial ones if you close it and open again.

    Any suggestion? Is there going to be fix for it? Its nice to have as option.



    Thanks

    Yes, no problem. I was looking into making a few videos about it explaining a few things but this bug makes it unusable as it is now for the end users...

    Thanks

    Hey guys,
    Just looking to see if there is a fix for the bug. It'd be great to not need to update the platform geometry every time I launch the program.
    Thanks in advance!

    It would be nice if @pmvcda could fix this bug, but he is currently busy into creating the best motion software in the recent history


    I'd suggest trying his new software here, it can use simtools as data source or just as standalone:

    Is there any info on how to use this plug-in?
    I have been stumbling through it but there are some settings that do not seem to work intuitively .
    Thanks

    If you absolutely need to use Simtools for source for motion, its better to use the FlyPT Simtools plugin instead, and have FlyPT process the 6DOF inverse kinematics.

    That 6DOF plugin is actually precedentesor of FlyPT mover, but it was never evolved because of limitations on Simtools handling of the axis and the inputs outputs.

    @Thanos No I'm pretty flexible at this point. I had installed mover a few months ago when he was the first with a Flight sim 2020 plugin.
    So I will get Mover configured tomorrow..
    I have used simtools for a couple of years now so there is a comfort factor in using that.:)
    Thanks..
