    I would like to use Simtools with just a joystick to generate
    motion data without any game installed
    Is this possible and how to setup?

    thank you noorbeast, I7v read documentation, but I'm still trying to figure out
    how to generate motion data for 6DOF system without any game installed
    Any suggestions or instructions

    Perhaps you need to explain a little more what you are doing and with what.

    Do you have a working 6DOF simulator configured for SimTools, either real, a model or a design in SketchUp hooked up to SimTools?

    If you do then the joystick plugin can be used to generate motion in that simulator and can even record the motion to a file, though currently there is no way to play it back.

    If you don't have a working 6DOF in one form or the other then I am missing what it is you are trying to do, so perhaps you could explain a little further.

    I would like get a file with motor positions for a 6DOF geometry using a controller

    I am still not exactly sure what you are trying to do, but it sounds like it is the 6DOF kinematics you may be interested in.

    If that is the case then a better option would be something like the Motion Platform Designer software, as it can can output the motors positions and a bunch of other data to a text file: http://www.fly.elise-ng.net/motionplatformdesigner

    yes that is what I'm looking for, but I already purchased Motion Platform Designer software.
    Unfortunately motion generation is very limited

    In that case the best I can do is suggest you connect SimTools to SketchUp and have a play with a 6DOF model and the Joystick plugin, though I am not sure that will really do what you are looking for in terms of the recorded motion file it can produce: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/design-software.114/

    Perhaps you could PM @SilentChill and see if he would be willing to let you use the 6DOF SketchUp model he did when doing the planning for his current rig: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/6dof-project-using-12v-dc-motors-mms-and-arduinos.6948/
