    Apart from the Stewart platform, everything is possible with SimHub.

    In my opinion, it is currently the best software for simracers. It supports Motion (with different layouts of the vertical actuators), 2xTL and Surge. Additional screens and dashboards, Iflag, Wind, Bassshakers, Streamdeck etc

    In combination with Arduino much more.

    The cost of the software is really reasonable for the functionality and new features are added very frequently.
    Unfortunately, I have only made a direct comparison with SimRacingStudio, SimTools does not satisfy me in terms of the interface and handling.

    is it possible to test effects in simhub like in simtools, roll for example?

    Yes of course. You can test effects and your acuators individually.

    Simhub is clearly superior to SRS, for example, and I haven't yet found anything that Simhub doesn't have. The fact that you can set softlimits, filters and max speed separately and individually for each movement and actuator alone is a huge advantage.

    Can I use Simhub with a JRK driven set-up?

    I tried setting up on my JRK driven sim yesterday and I got it moving my motors but it was moving it to it's limit no matter how small I set the percentages. Wish there was a better guide, I'll just have to look play around with some settings till I can get it working.

    Hello, I switched to the simhub motion software too, it works very well, just a quick question, I can't find where to change the direction of the right-left effects. Thanks

    Screenshots help :) it's likely the bit rate being /18 when it should be /16

    When you assign the axis' just make sure they move the right direction, or reverse them. It's under the output settings

    S'il vous plaît, aidez-moi dans simtools, nous pouvons changer la direction des moteurs par effet, mais dans simhub, le mouvement n'est pas trouvé

    I see motors are set in your screenshot with one reversed, it's the effect specifically you want to reverse? Which effect and why? Does it not move as it should?

    Make sure your axis resolution is set right here

    I have two motors, braking and acceleration effect are perfect just right left which are reversed I changed the direction of the motors and there the braking and acceleration are reversed on simtools we can reverse each motor with its effect

    When you use Manual Control, does it move in the correct direction?

    Sounds like you have them configured wrong in the output settings.
