SimTools v3 Public Beta

Is there support currently for DCS ?

Hi, in V3 ist does Not work for me. I have to use these settings like instruction on simtools website.

@yobuddy
The play button does not work when you try to pause and rerun the motion.
Simtools must be exit and then run again.

Oh... double click!!! sorry. works.

anyway, play again, the actuator shakes violently for a moment and then operates. I'll take a video of this and upload it.

used thanos amc controller

When stopped and restarted, it moves normally after abnormal operation like an video.

More specifically... If restart before entering parking mode, will see those symptoms.

If wait long enough to enter parking mode and then restart, it will operate normally.

Hum... Can adjust the speed and position, but... Unable to turn off auto park functionality completely.

Thought I should post : Screen grabs will follow later as not at machine atm


Simtools V3 version : Current (20/02/23)
Motor plugin : SCN
Motion rig : Prosimu T1000 3M
Game plugin : Dirt Rally 2 - patched

Problem : Pitch not working / Registering a value of 90 for pitch input on tuning control.
resulting juddery experience relying on Heave/ Surge.
Fixes tried. -
Removal / reinstallation of patch - no change.
Removal re download plugin - no change.

Repeatable Side note . Hard to put into short phrasing
Running Sim tools V2.55 Dirt rally 2 game after patching the V3 version game exhibits exactly same problem as v3 ( 90 pitch) -
Removal / addition of V2.55 game patch resolves the condition . but returns if Patching of game for v3 done afterward.

-----

Start up cycle of Actuators on initialisation of V3 : Return to park after cycle - very sharp .

Didnt know if you have had a preferred bug format .

System PC - Win 10 ( 21/H2)
Rzyen 5900X 32Gb X570 Rig connect via USB on exclusive USB 3 header added to Mobo ( not a PCie riser)

Hope this helps

As I drive in VR the last 2 grabs are the before I start and after finish in the capture moment.

Most probably doing something terribly wrong but its one plug in ~I cant use for V3..

That is not bug. Usually when you stop motion data from the PC, the actuators will move to standby position 50% for a few seconds, to level the platform if the motion stopped with the rig positioned on angle. Then after a few seconds will lower all actuators to park position.

Now if you start the motion before it reaches park position, it will not engage the soft positioning to ready position (50%) but instead could jump to whatever positions the motion software is sending as it thinks its still in on-line mode and needs to move in real time.

Do you have the spike filter enabled? It should handle such situations preventing jumps from motion data spikes.

Many Thanks Yobuddy for the speedy reply.
I guessed as much as I noticed V2.5 ran on Custom udp enabled and the V3 didnt .

Unfortunately the V6 DR2 plug was the one I used . (My fault for not putting the patch version in post ) .

Nevertheless I uninstalled the patch and re installed.
Unfortunately the problem still persists on V3.
Its no biggie for me as my original set up for v2 took ages to set up . So I dont mind using it for DR2
Thanks for your time.

Hi, just wondered if plugin updates are things yobuddy can do semi-automatically by adjusting v2 plugins or does a developer who has the appropriate game have to write it from scratch? MSFS for example.

Working plugin now crashes after latest update. I have a GT7 plugin I wrote myself based off the DirtRally example that was working. After the latest update I pulled (today), SimTools crashes (disappears) without message after I hit play on the plugin. The plugin works ok when testing using Game_PluginTester_v2. Any ideas on how I can debug this and figure out whats going on?

Can I go back a version (or 2) on Simtools?

Thanks,
Michael
