    You welcome. I'm glad that you get it work. I actually used "Sway" instead of "Extra 1" as Traction Lose because not all game plugins support "Extra 1" but should works without problem. :p

    Cheers

    Thankyou @eaorobbie ,,, Damn i feel like i've just had a major crash course in Ard+Simtools ,,,, I'm guessing that i've only just scratched the surface ,,,What a great way to learn the basics ,,,,,Cheers mate.

    Thanks for your code @Jun, it allowed me to get into Arduino :).
    Now i would like to control the 3 servos with a floating Center Heave-Pitch-Roll architecture, have you developed the code for this type of simulator or is it just necessary to change the axis assignments ?

    Hello everyone and thanks for helping with the info. I am new to this fun hobby and I did finally made servos to work with Output testing on Sim Tools.
    But when I start running Live for Speed game, I received no signal from the game at all. Could you please tell ? I notice the Arduino's Rx LED is not lighting up when running the Game.

    Just checking have you patched LFS for motion in Game Manager?

    Please post some pictures of your model and all SimTools settings.

    From the screenshots it does not appear as though you have patched LFS for motion in Game Manager. You use the Edit Path button to select the install folder for LFS then patch for motion.

    Hello,
    I'm looking for the Arduino code and schéma, for a 6dof RC model.
    I searched into the forum without result.
    Thanks in advance

    For true 6dof , simtools does not support yet , this will be coming toV2 with the addition of a special maths plugin I have been developing , as for model code , its simply adding 6 servos instead of 2, And all position calcs are done by simtools that way we can adapt 6dof control to any interface that simtools supports without the end user having to have a specially coded interface.

    Noob question here. So according to the schematic the pwm output is driving the motor postion where as on regular DC motors pots are used for feedback, does this mean that for servos the software is assuming that motor actually moved to a specific angle? Thanks
