    Hi All, I tried to recreate this youtube:


    Here is my test rig, using pin 3, 5 and 6. I already update the Arduino code accordingly.

    Here is the Axis Assignment:

    Here is the Interface Setting:
    [​IMG]

    I can get the motors move on the Output Testing for Roll, Pitch, Heave and Sway
    [​IMG]

    I use a keyboard to play for now.
    When I am driving in the Forza Horizon 5, I do not get the motor move at all.

    Would love to hear any hint what I do wrong here. I appreciate it.

    If Output Testing works but a game does not is the game plugin properly installed, the game patched for motion, with a properly configured motion profile for that game?

    Another possibility is that anti-virus is messing with the install and communications.

    As per the video Live For Speed is generally used for initial testing, and I would suggest using LFS to verify everything works before messing with plugins, just be aware LFS must be run before it is patched for motion, as that generates some required files: https://www.xsimulator.net/communit...run-in-first-person-mode-before-patching.365/

    I figured out the issue: I forgot to set the Telemetry and the IP/Port number on the Forza game!

    It works now.
