    I installed the update for V3. Msfs2020 now has the vibe and is working great. The only problem i still have is that i have no data in the tuning center for motion. This is a non steam version. It worked ok in V2 software, but i have not been able to get motion with V3. Any ideas? I have no faults, it attaches to the sim and i have vibe working.

    OK, I just got msfs2020 working (non steam ver). With the update I had to input my Com assignments again and restart simtools. Then all was good. :)

    I have the non ver msfs2020. A strange thing happens, when i bank right the sim moves left then right. The same if i band left, the sim banks right, then left.

    Sounds like your axis assignments needs some work.
    Try enabling only one DOF at a time until you see whats causing it.

    After the update, it is possible to adjust the filter value. Thank you, but there is another bug.

    The washout return, gain value is from -100 to +100.

    The clr button overlaps with the graph adjustment circle.

    &

    outputtype is still fixed. This time, it is fixed to the maximum value, not the middle value.

    The clr button is only displayed on the four axes.

    I will work on it more tomorrow.
    I know where the error is now, it's just my slider control when the screen is scaling I think.
    I will get it fixed shortly.

    Is there a manual book to look for the Dash and Vibration? I want to add vibration, but can't figure it out.

    I am using the latest version of Simtools, and I am not able to get any motion using the elite dangerous plug-in.
    I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the plug-in. I also went into the min and Max tuning and tried to do a capture, but no values are displaying here when the game is running. All the fields remain at zero.
    Looking at the documentation for it there is no Patching Notes: https://simtools.us/plugin/?varname=29&color=0e97dd
    Is there somthing specific that needs to be set in-game to have it output telemetry data?

    Thanks!

    To follow up on this one, I also can't get the elite dangerous plugin from the old SimTools to provide any motion as well. I downloaded the plugin again. uninstalled the old one, reinstalled the new download, re-patched it. Still no values showing in the min/max tuning in this version when the game is running.

    I was testing the Profile Intensity and it seems to me that it is not causing any changes in the movement intensity.

    Yes, this is normal.

    The only problem here I see is the slider is to wide for some reason.
    But I have not been able to replicate the problem here on any machine we have.

    So may I ask what your video settings are?
    (Scaling here 125 to 250% all works.)
    Chat soon!

    Open the 'sliders' virtual window with the game running, and you can see the difference in the incoming game telemetry when adjusting the intensity slider. (Heave is the easiest to notice it in for sure.) We can turn the weight up in a future release, but not to the point of v2.

    Hi.

    I have a strange problem. I tried simtools v3 with PC2 and FH5. Everything is working but the motions feel soft(not sharp). It will become softer if I drive faster. Like there's smoothing / low pass filter set on all the axis. I check Flt settings and everything is set to zero and the sliders are working fine.

    For info my simtools was updated yesterday. Before that I didn't try it yet.
