    1. Version Number: 2.1
    2. Game Plugin where the error is happening: DCS World
    3. Settings: See screenshot for SimTools settings, running both game engine and game manager as admin.
    I'm working through the instructions to set up Simtools 2.0 but I'm not very good at this stuff and have two problems.

    First when I try to set up Axis Assignments all the dropdowns are greyed out except for Actuator Type which only has Generic 2D standard and Generic 2D basic in the list.

    Second, I think I need some help to make sure I've got the correct settings for my interface. See the screenshot for what I've got so far. I got this far by doing google searches but the source posts were old and I might have done something wrong.

    Thanos AMC1280USB is on Com3

    SimTools 2.0 Input Settings - The difference from SimTools 1.3 to SimTools 2.0 in setup is that instead of axis defined like this <Axis1> it is now like this to designate grouping for a or b <Axis1a>
