    indeed the problem comes from the min max values but I do not know at all how to adjust the values

    The smc3 sketch has some shutdown triggers built in, maybe they are getting tripped?
    Maybe turn on axis limiting, and set it for 90% on each axis, then see if you still have problems.

    Have you tuned the max/min file for your sim?
    The plugin is sending the same data that is in v2 is all.

    Here are the steps for v2.
    V3 works the same way, so I hope this helps.

    Where did you get the plugin for prosimu? I can't configure my axis for my P7MP. Under Axis plugins I don't see prosimu.

    Are the numerical values for axis/min-max/etc... are 100% identical between 2.x and 3.x so I can easily migrate my current settings?

    Thanks for all the support and updates. Is the beta stable enough to start using for a new user? Or should I hold off for now.

    Ok I have come to a solution. I finished the belt tensioner and it works on 2 profiles. The problem occurs when one device is not connected. Then sim tools v3 shuts down. In addition, you can't set max min for b axis separately. There is an option of only ascending or only descending, but in my case it caused the retractor to start rotating all the time AND I had to turn off the emergency. Maybe someone can explain to him how it works. In addition, when you give the axis test the seat jumps abruptly, there is no soft start. I also noticed that uploading the plugin from scratch. It deletes all previous max and min for the game. In my case, I have to re-upload the plugin every time before turning on the rbr, then the quality of movement is sort of fuller. This happens in both versions of simtools, I can live with it. That's it for this time. My problem with the belt tensioner was due to a faulty usb slot of the internal card which I bought to avoid messing with external hubs. So the issue is a curiosity

    You telling a device to startup that's not there?

    Where buddy, I believe you can.

    Don't understand buddy.

    Soft start may be added here, but working on plugins for the moment.

    Only if you delete the plugin from SimTools, and then install the new one.
    If you update the one in place (without removing it) it will not remove max min files.
    Also there are max/min update options on the options page.

    Hi @yobuddy just tested AMS2 the forces seem messed up
    simtools surge is in game sway
    simtools sway is in game heave
    simtools heave is in game surge

    pitch and roll are correct

    or at least thats how it seems to me, might be worth a look :thumbs

    thanks for the plugins update, great timing for Christmas Hols:cheers
