    Wonder if v3 will be able to do something similar to Xbox. Tactile feedback on the actuators. I think it will he added for the Thanos controllers but wonder if it is possible with serial USB interface

    The normal process is development, limited closed feedback and testing, wider testing, then release. It is up to @yobuddy to determine what to share and when.

    Life can also be distracting, and I know this childhood dream has recently grabbed @yobuddy's attention :rolleyes:

    Hello guys, good morning, sorry for the inconvenience, I know that some pairs must be resting a bit, but I want to ask you if this problem happened to someone else, it happens with the last updates of win 10.

    hi yobuddy

    I am about to start my 4DOF project. do you have any idear if it would be a waste of time to start using Simtools V2.5.1 instead of just waiting a bit longer and then start up with Simtools V3?

    The standard answer is generally 'when it is ready' ;)

    @Stefan4DOF,
    Your license will work for both software packages at the end of the day.
    And you can even run them side by side (but not at the same time of coarse).

    V3 is a complete, more modern, rewrite of SimTools.
    Streamlined, to be easier to understand, with a more of a 'pictorial' menu system.
    But in the end of the day. they both will get your sim up and running.
    And the concepts to setting them up are roughly the same.

    You could always play with the demo of v2 until v3 drops.
    But v3 will come in stages.
    As I can't really add a bunch of "bell's and whistles" to v3 until I have a solid tested base to work on.
    So the first version of v3 will be Alpha1, and it will support motion only (and new plugins are required).
    (dash, vibe and a few other things will be added in a later alpha version)
    So v3 will roll out in stages, with more and more being supported, until its fully up and running.

    Hope that helps buddy!
    Take care,
    yobuddy

    Hi @yobuddy,

    I keep having an issue with my Motion Rig these last weeks (stops suddenly working while in game, and only restarts when I unplug/replug the usb cable that goes to the arduino). Are there logs generated by Simtool 2.5.1 I could look at ? (couldn't find any).

    Thanx ;)
