    Here is what you need to know:

    GameDash v2.2 & GameVibe Beta4 both require SimTools v2.3 and above.
    If you are running an older version of SimTools, when you update SimTools, also update GameDash and GameVibe.

    Smoothing weight has been doubled mainly for our high flying friends.
    To get the exact same profiles as you had before, simply adjust your profiles as follows.
    Axis Assignment Smoothing: (Example: if at 20%, slide down to 10%)
    111.jpg

    For Main Level % in Game Manger: (Example: if at 50%, slide up to 75%)
    222.jpg

    That's all that is needed for SimTools v2.3

    If you don't have it yet, a bran new manual can be found here!
    https://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/official-simtools-user-manual.12424/
    It fully covers all the new features of SimTools v2.3.

    For those of you with rotation lever type motors, be sure to check out the new Advance Axis Assignment plugin with its new Linear to Rotation output filter.
    The filter has the ability to make the ride buttery smooth ;)

    Have Fun! :thumbs

    First post !

    Thanks, yobuddy, downloading now.

    Just to clarify, the "main level" is about smoothing and not strength ?

    Do I need to backup my profile/settings prior to update ?

    The Main Level % applies smoothing to All of the data coming from the game. (its how it adjusts the strength if you will)
    When this value is at 100 %, it uses no smoothing at all, and you are riding the direct data supplied from the game.
    As you lower the Main Level % value you are applying smoothing to all inputs from the game plugin.

    You should not need to, other than simply adjusting the profiles as i have show above.
    You should be able to simply install SimTools v2.3 over your existing installation of SimTools.

    I tested it quite a few times without any problems.
    But, please make a backup and give it a go.
    Seems you are the first to give it a try.
    Let me know how it goes for you.

    Take care!

    Where do I find the new Advance Axis Assignment plugin? I looked in the simtools plugin section and didn't see it.

    Thanks.

    Question on the roll-over item. Does this apply to doing loops or barrel rolls in aircraft. I believe we use sway before.

    Yes, it makes it so it does not jump from one side to the other when doing loops.

    Anti RollOver – This setting returns the output value to zero when the input is at its max or min setting. For Instance, if we had a Max and a Min of 180°/-180° for an input and this setting was on, any values after 90° start counting back to zero. Making an input of 100° = 80°, 120° = 60°, and 180° = 0°. The same thing happens for the negative values also meaning that a -180° = 0°. (Note: This setting is only intended for the Roll and Pitch inputs from a game.)

    Take care,

    Anti RollOver is a filter available in the Advanced Axis Assignments plugin.

    Thank you for developing a good program. But it doesn't work perfectly in the language I'm using. I hope it improves in the next version! Thank you for your hard work
