    V3 is the best.

    I would like to see three rates added to the rFactor 2 plugin.

    Yaw Velocity: Acceleration
    Roll Velocity: Acceleration
    Pitch Velocity: Acceleration

    please

    This is a minor problem.

    Select "Test setting" during the game to display "Axis Testing".
    Next, move the "Axis Testing" slider to check the operation of the actuator.
    After that, when you press the triangle button on the top left (start operation), the screen freezes.
    "Stop testing" also has no response.

    "Stop testing"
    If I forget to press , I restart V3 every time.

    When you start simtoolsV3, it will be displayed in the center of the active screen.
    This is a problem while driving, so please make the screen smaller or save the display position.

    Hi, are there any hotkeys to adjust on the fly current profile intensity?

    Hi, I have a problem with movement. Recently I wanted to play after a period , but I noticed when I was doing a surge and pitch test the motors have different speed what before was an equal speed, I tried to invert the motors between them, no change. it is possible to be from the arduino board, h bridge or is it from simtools, I specify that an update was made to simtools. please help

    You should not be able to do this when its running.
    I will fix it thx!

    No, at one point i started adding them, but was not sure what keys to use and what all should have hotkeys.
    So I decided it should be an addon plugin, as the api could be used for both hotkeys, and a remote profiler app.

    The Intensity filter got updated in the last release, but you can set that to 100 (which turns it off) and give it a test. Maybe try a test with the intensity filter set to 100 and let me know what happens, and we can go from there buddy.

    We want all plugins to have the rate outputs eventually, so there is a pretty good chase for this to happen buddy.

    Axis Limiting is a single setting for all profiles.

    Ok, thanks, I like the plugin idea. :thumbs

    In the apps I wrote for AC I included hotkeys but let them disabled and customizable by the users in the options.
    (Just an idea)

    I think I expressed myself wrongly, the two motors do not move equally (at the same angle), I managed somehow just by changing the max axis (leaving one at 100% and the other at 60%)

    HI Yo buddy and hi everyone
    If I may I would like to submit a request. Would it be possible to add a possibility of starting simtools minimized next to the strat with windows?
    Thank you for your work

    Traction Loss was not outputting correctly in F1 2023. If you want to use traction loss, you will need to set in game Options --> Settings --> Telemetry Settings and set UDP Format to 2022 and then it should work as expected.

    Maybe we could make the 'Start with windows' minimize by default?
    (Not sure we need another setting is all?)

    that'd be great, I'm not starting it with windows because of that splash screen, but if it would start minimized I wouldn't forget to launch simtools three times out of four :D

    all of a sudden v3 starts, but I dont get the v3 ui window. The icon is still in the tool tray, but when I select it nothing comes up. I can right click it and get the exit menu, but that's it. Any ideas how to troubleshoot?

    do you have more than one monitor? Maybe it's off your main screen, some apps I have start opening on the left of my main screen and in order to see them I have to turn that screen on or, a workaround, using the split screen function. so I open an app like a browser and drag it near to the border of the screen, then Windows lets you choose another app to be snapped and I choose the one I can't reach. This brings it to my main screen (I'm not sure this works with Simtools)
    do you see it by ALT-TABbing?
