    Hi, having some issues setting up traction loss in simtools. I have motor 3 setup in SMC3 working correctly. But whenever I try to setup traction loss in simtools and go to test settings, it isn't working. Any ideas?

    Below are my SIMTOOL settings.

    TIA

    The game is not running so it is hard to say for sure, but likely the values in the Tuning Center for Extra 1 are way too high, manually set Extra 1 to 10 and see if the rig responds.

    Thanks for the reply, they were originally set to 10 but I changed it to 180. Any other suggestions?

    Can you please post a picture of the Tuning Center while the game is running, to ensure the Extra1 data it working.

    Yeah extra 1 is receiving data, struggled to get picture but have video on phone if required, even in the SIMTOOLS test settings, the traction loss doesn't move the motor, not sure what else to try.

    Wow I feel stupid, although I'd already searched the forum I tried again and found someone with the same issue, when I compared my interface settings I hadn't even added in axis 3 yet. Different issue to what he was having as he had his axis3 in the interface but I have it working now!

    Thanks for your help and replies.
