SimTools v3 Public Beta

I was able to get a plugin working for iRacing on v3.0 and have a few questions regarding motion outputs. I used the Assetto Corsa example as my starting point.

The calculation for Roll, Pitch and Yaw is rads converted to degrees, this example is straightforward:

Code:

Dim RadtoDeg As Double = 45.0 / Atan(1)
_Motion_Outputs._Roll = irsdkUtils.roll * RadtoDeg 'rad
_Motion_Outputs._Pitch = irsdkUtils.pitch * RadtoDeg 'rad
_Motion_Outputs._Yaw = irsdkUtils.yaw * RadtoDeg 'rad

iRacing provides two options for heave, sway and surge:
VelocityZ, VelocityY , VelocityX in m/s
VertAccel, LatAccel, LongAccel in m/s^2 including gravity

Which of the above should I use and what math conversion, if any should be applied?

This is what I used on my first test and didn't feel bad after capturing min/max:

Code:

_Motion_Outputs._Heave = irsdkUtils.heave * 0.101971621 'm/s^2, vert accel (including gravity)
_Motion_Outputs._Sway = -irsdkUtils.sway * 0.101971621 'm/s^2, lat accel (including gravity)
_Motion_Outputs._Surge = irsdkUtils.surge * 0.101971621 'm/s^2, long accel (including gravity)

I wrote a telemetry app for iRacing many moons ago that had a g-force map, multiplying by 0.101971621 kept the numbers roughly between -4 and +4, but I have no idea if this is correct or if this is what SimTolls v3.0 wants fed.

My other question is regarding Extra4-6.
Do I need to do a calculation on RollRate (rad/s) and if so what would that be.

Code:

_Motion_Outputs._Extra4 = irsdkUtils.rollRate 'rad/s, angular velocity
_Motion_Outputs._Extra5 = irsdkUtils.pitchRate 'rad/s, angular velocity
_Motion_Outputs._Extra6 = irsdkUtils.yawRate 'rad/s, angular velocity

I got interested in pursuing this because the current iRacing plugin causes my rig to vibrate pretty bad at times. I have my rig sitting on a piece of wood and that sits on a puzzle piece gym mat. The vibrations are causing the wood, which hasn't moved in two years, to slowly walk off the gym mat.

My first test had no vibrations, fingers crossed. The RFactor2 plugin also had no vibrations.

Any help for the mathematically challenged would be greatly appreciated

Thanks guys!

Hi guys
Anyone out there using v3 for DCS?
I have been working with @yobuddy to try and find a solution , he has been most helpful ,but as yet i still have no motion.
I can get v2 to work ,except the really bad rollover issue, cant seem to sort that one out, but hey small steps.
Any help would be much appreciated
Cheers all

Hello everyone! help!

I've been using simtools v3 for about 3 months without any problem, my configuration is 2dof with JRK 12v12.
Last night, after about 2 weeks of not using the sim, when I went into iracing and activated the movement in simtools v3 one of my motors at the center received so much power that it blew the fuse between the JRK and the motor.

Turn everything off, change the fuse, try the JRK utility and everything works perfectly, I go into iracing and when I activate it again from simtools, the same thing happens, in the JRK itself, the fuse blows, I turn everything off again, I go back to change the fuse I enter the JRK utility everything is perfect, the motors move without any problem, I enter simtools but this time I go directly to Testing Settings and when the motors are centered the same thing happens again, it seems that the motor receives so much power that blows the fuse.

This has never happened before, and from the Pololu JRK utility it works perfectly.

I made my sim in 2016 it always worked perfect.
Never used simtools v2, before i used X-Sim and i switched straight to simtools v3, i don't have iRacing plugin for simtools v2

Any help would be greatfully received. Thank you!

Ok, this explains my troubles. Thanks for your input yobuddy.

Do you possibly know when we could expect a pre-configured DCS plugin for NjMotion repo? Don't want to sound impatient, but maybe you have an idea?

Hello everyone, I installed licensed simtools v3.0 beta and encountered problems with the telemetry of 2 dirty4 and wrc10 games, other games work regularly, the plugins are installed.

Sorry I expressed myself badly, I meant that I don't get any movement. I am attaching a couple of photos of the configuration, of how the more I have the less I have also made other games. The interface and serial I use arduino with monster board, I hope I explained myself thanks.

Hi, I have issue with the activation. I checked the license and is all OK, but when tried to avtivated the license no longer available. How do I fix this?

Notification is "No activation remaining on this license".

Please send a notification here, so I can get your information and help you out.

Thanks sent it already.

I am having an error similar to one I found on another thread and it was recommended to post in the V3 beta thread. Since I don't see it here I'll ask first. I get this error with Star Wars Squadron:

"start error
index outside the bounds of the array
in Squadrons_GamePlugin.GamePlugin.GameStart()
520_Offsets.xml or config not found! Patch game again!"

I downloaded this plugin through the Simtools 3 interface, sometimes I can get telemetry data out of it but no motion as of yet.
