    :hi: hello friends long time without going through here, actually I was a bit removed from the site because I have had to make many modifications to my simulator, I can say that is more advanced in its construction, and it works!, although I had many problems with a error that was causing me a big problem when using my cards pololu, this error is motor driver error, after much asking pololu people would tell me I could be that the card was being overloaded and it gave me that error , and talk to my friend david and I advise several tests :cheers: , in the end I have got the solution ... to change the uSB cable from the card q will pololu jrk12v-12 the error disappeared, not if by chance, I will continue doing test to see if the error becomes much! ... hope it does not happen again! anyway I hope this information helps someone who puedad have the same problem!

    ahhhh by the way, if anyone of you can help me set up the game formula1 2012 to work with my simulator I will thank, I could make it work with rfactor f1 2012 but codemaster not like the process!. .. thanks! :happy:

    Hi christianr3
    I also had issues with JRK connection loss and having to restart. I'm really cautious when comparing software but I have to say that since I am using SimTools connection loss never happened again (and my simulator is fairly heavy).
    Regarding F1 2012 it depends on the software you're using. Again, SimTools is fully compatible with F1 2012 without causing the famous crash at the end of a round.
    Kind regards,
    Thomas

    Well done for finding the problem and fixing it on the JRKS.
    Simtools is awesome and there are NO dropouts in jrks. Fantastic.
    Motion is more refined. The guys have done a brilliant job.

    Yes, I had am using the JRKs 12V12 and have no connection loss problems anymore since SimTools.
    Yes, for sure.
    First of all apply for SimTools Betatester, install SimTools, install/patch the F1 2012 plugin, have fun. It is really so easy!
    As eaorobbiel just kindly confirmed, F1 2012 runs smoothly with SimTools.

    :uups: wow! ... I spent so much time concentrating on my simulator build I had not realized that there was a new software to control the simulator! ... where I can download the simtools?? ... I'm a little confused :? .... is used alongside simtools xsim software? or software that is used alone?? ... where I can get information?? .... Here I show you some pictures of the progress of my simulator, paint it blue to look like the formula 1 redbull, and pedals put them in an elevated position to simulate driving a f1, I would like your opinions to see if I on track in the design! :highfive:

    value between to investigate some of the new software but in the other post says it is only for a selected group of people with knowledge, I honestly I have no knowledge to develop software, I think I will not be selected to use simtools, hopefully one day be free to use!, Greetings! :hi:

    I am not a programmer at all and I test simtools. as long as they know it works, thats all.
    We have many beta testers with different simulator setups, and different PCs, so more saying that it works, the better.
    simtools can be installed with 2089, you can use either, They do not affect each other as long as both are not running at the same time, but obviously simtools is the new motion software to replace 2089 and other x-sim programs.
    My 85 year old mate with a wiper seat mover is a beta tester and he is no programmer. As long as it works for him, thats all.

    I updated the Quick Installation Guide for the new beta and also added some pictures to make it easier to check and compare the settings.

    Im currently running Jrks withs a Seatmover in V3, I have been running Jrks since 2009 and was responsible for bring them to the site. I have built 9 different combination with the Jrks.
    Latest is a seat mover running big worm gear motors to show sim racers that for $800 dollars they too can jon in the fun and keep their beloved static sim part of their new motion sim.

    very technical work yours, congratulations, my engine simulator used in the front, it is important to maintain a good balance for my engines are not damaged, and consume less energy, but it's hard to get a good balance, but I'm grasping tests I will put a video of the movements of my simulator at a time to guide me if I'm on track, Greetings!
