    Hi !

    I used to use Xsim wich works fine and I want to test your software.
    Sadly I can't get it to work with my motion rig.
    I have 2 SCN5, FTDI 232.

    I set it up like this in interface settings (like in Xsim) :
    - output type : SCN
    - comport : COM11
    - packet Rate : 1
    - assigned axis : 2
    - speed : 10000
    - acceleration : 500

    Can you help me, please. Did I forget something ?

    Thanks.

    Which OS? No moving at all? Com11, sure?

    Thanks for your reply.

    I'm on windows 7. No movement at all, no connexion to actuators on COM 11, of course. Settings that work fine in Xsim.

    Congratulations on your program! I only have one word to say -> WoW!

    Very well done,
    Easy to understand,
    no headache,

    Again => a really nice job!

    I'll probably use it in the very near future on my new 3DOF simulator 4 engines.

    Hello!
    I have a question.
    To create a profile for racing games in X-Sim i used lateral, vertical and longitudal forces.
    After all, overloading and should simulate a motion chair.
    Why in Sim Tools I can use the Pitch and roll only?

    In Simtools you have Pitch, Roll, Sway (lateral), Heave (vertical), Surge (longitudal), and Yaw.

    The different plugins might not have all of them, I think that depends on which game you are using. Just set up your axis to correspond with the movement available in the game output.

    This should help in showing how each force is used in SimTools.
    Aswell in docs you will find many answers on how to set the default axis first to test your rig then the game test. http://www.xsimulator.net/co-ordinate-system/

    :thumbsCongratulations you have developed another software to manage a dynamic simulator.
    To my great regret, I can not use
    Interfaces that I currently have are the Velleman VM110 interfaces (K8055) and VM140 (K8061)
    My Proposed simulator is based AC motors (220V tri) and three-phase frequency inverter
    In my project, the VM140 card command directly the inverters
    :pDo you foresee in the future version of Simtools software to extend the usable interface cards? (VM110 and VM140 ...)
    :sosThe map SimAxe described and used in your software allows it to control the phase frequency inverters?
    How?
    :sosHow is the performance of a set of three cards SimAxe over cards Thanos (AMC 1280USB + 6DOF extension board needed to operate the inverters)
    :cheersThank you again for your efforts to introduce software more simple and efficient
