    Hello and thank you for your response
    I printed all 114 pages of the user manual version 2.4.
    In order not to cut down trees unnecessarily by printing all 114 pages in each version of the manual, I would have liked to be able to print out only the pages modified by the update as I would like to keep my paper copy up to date.
    My request was not only for important updates when SimTools changes version (2.4 to future 2.5 for example), but also for minor updates to debug or better detail a feature of the V2.4 manual.
    In the case of a minor update for accuracy or debugging, a change hint would be desirable to see the change between the 2 PDF manuals.

    In order to use a paper version of the documentation for all the features of Simtools v2.4 Pro, is there any other PDF file detailing features not detailed in the V2.4 user manual. ?

    You could probably open and compare the 2 pdf files too highlight and see the changes.
    It would probably be the easiest way I think.
    Take care,

    The equipment is upgraded to the original fixed tables and chairs. SimTools is currently being studied and work is in preparation.

    Is there a civilized way to get simtools to work with the regional standards of Russia through the Windows 10 control panel? The simulator moves jerkily, in sharp leaps, if the regional standards are not the United States. Most of my programs do not work correctly with such settings. Starting from the time display and ending with the incorrect display of the Russian font.

    It is a pesky known bug that @yobuddy is still trying to pin down, and it is not easy as it seems to be just a few edge cases now: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/simtools-language-setting-bug-change-to-english-local.233/

    Awesome effort, I have added your translated manual the the FAQs, with credit to yourself: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/rtfm-start-with-the-official-simtools-documentation.117/

    @RaceRay can you please temporarily bypass the upload limit to the translated manual can be directly uploaded, rather than linked.

    For anyone just getting started with motion the auto tune feature works really well. Honestly i havent really found much that matches up better with what you see in vr.

    Being a DIY community the primary focus and hence resources is the projects members create. While some of those provide almost tutorial type details the primary focus is projects, not formal tutorials, given how many different possible ways there are to create similar motion related outcomes.

    I can't recall a harness tutorial, but perhaps some other member knows of one and can chip in.
