    Dear Everyone,
    I already used simtool with demo 2.4 version for testing LiveForSpeed game with some configuration as below:
    upload_2023-6-22_9-10-52.png

    I want to send data packet with 24 bytes from simtool to my application by ethernet as below:

    upload_2023-6-22_9-11-21.png
    When I use wireshark for capturation data length from simtool, it is wrong data length as below image.

    It is 23 bytes, sometime is 24 bytes. I don't know the reason why lost output data from simtool.

    Could someone help me for making configuration right? From that, output data from simtool is 24 bytes right ?

    I will buy license Simtool and game plugin when I use better than with demo LFS game.

    Thank you so much!

    Please grab a copy of the SimTools manual and keep it handy for reference: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/rtfm-start-with-the-official-simtools-documentation.117/

    Then see the FAQ SimTools section: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/simtools-settings-tips-and-tricks.18/category

    In particular note that total axis assignment should be around 100% today, not 100% per axis: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/axis-assignment-percentage-totals.120/

    Also note LFS must be run before patching it for motion: https://www.xsimulator.net/communit...run-in-first-person-mode-before-patching.365/

    Then see the FAQ tuning tips: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/steps-to-create-a-motion-profile.228/

    Thank you for your sugesttion. I saw some link guildeline above, but I can not see information that I need.

    I already maked connection between Simtool and LiveForSpeed game successfully. Game's motion data already had in Virtual Axis of Simtool's output Testing.

    However, I received motion data wrong ,when I capture data packet from Simtool. I gest that I make configure wrong. I mean, data length is right of 24 bytes, but I only received 23 bytes when I capture data in wireshark.

    Could someone help me how to have configure right ?

    Thank you

    please see step by step that I have detail method:
    step 1: Setup 6 Asix (Asix1a. .. Axis6a) as below
    upload_2023-6-22_16-32-37.png
    step2: setup configuration ethernet for receiving 6 Axises (example: Axis1a is float 4 byte) as below
    upload_2023-6-22_16-33-1.png
    step 3: Run Game and capture data packet by wireshark tool.

    @yobuddy may be able to advise re bytes, but the more fundamental issue is likely to be what I outlined in terms of misconfiguration issues.

    Send the data as 'binary' to have a stable output for length.
    When sending as decimal, The length can change quite a lot.
    If one of the values of an axis is "1" the length is one, where if its a "239" its a 3.
    But if you send the data as binary, you will get 2 chars for each axis or 12 chars for output.
    Give it a try buddy.
    Take care,
    yobuddy
