SimTools v3 Public Beta

I tried fs2020 and was unable to replicate the reversed surge, so that on is either not consistent or was just me. The dcs swap and being unable to reconnect both persist.

Ok, when I return from vacation I'll take another look and send more information.

Hi. I have DCS Standalone and the plugin wants me to start dcs from steam. Is there any non steam dcs plugin ?

Is there no more profile editor, to set the amount of each effect? This was in v2.x in the game manager located.

and is there a upgrade from diy license to pro option? I would like to have vibe as well instead of simhub, that only one program is for motion and bass shaker.

Hi Rodrigomarcos1978! Same problem here. I was really close solving it, I was able see motion values in min/max window, numbers were running like grazy. But my rig did not move. I don't know why.

What I did was following this guide:

"Here is what I did (and this works for me):
1. I renamed starwarssquadrons_launcher.exe to starwarssquadrons_oldlauncher.exe
2. Under a command line with administrator privileges, I went to the \SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\STAR WARS Squadrons\ folder and typed in the following command:
mklink starwarssquadrons_launcher.exe starwarssquadrons.exe
This will create a symbolic link from the launcher filename to the real main.exe
3. In the Windows explorer, open the properties dialog of the symbolic link icon and tick the box "read-only" so that it won't be automatically replaced (not sure it's bullet proof though).

To launch the game, do not start the main exe directly but simply click on the start button in Steam. You can even directly launch Squadrons in VR mode."

I hope this helps you!

Hi,

I'v been using v3 beta for a while now and it has been fantastic. Now I have a little problem. Recently (always same titles like AMS2 AC and same cars) my rig movement has been somewhat "jagged". Same profiles, no changes other than Simtools updates.

What is happening is this: I feel like car movement does not give rig movement like it used to. For example body roll happens like there if there were "steps". At first, not much happens and then rig moves in steps. Rig does not move smoothly, instead is goes those "levels" downwards and upwards and makes s little noise. At first it feels like it does not get enough info from the game and then it gets too much, too fast.

I have updated v3 always to the latest version. Should I have done something else?

Even if I record new min/max values, values does not change that much. I have to tune min/max values little higher to get rid of extra noise. But then I lose the touch to car movements.

What about Windows COM-ports? I have moved my PC to another location and I connected it to a different USB-port for a while. COM changed from COM3to COM7. I changed back to previous USB-port and set Simtools back to COM3.

Does it matter what parameters there are in Device Manager for COM port? If bits per sec rate is 9600 for COM3, is it ok? I have never touched those values. Simtools is set to 50000 bits per sec rate.

Any ideas what could be the issue here?

I really appriciate all the help and comments. Thx in advance!

EDIT:
Q: What happens when I update game plugin and select to update min/max file?

I recorded really high roll rate values today with AMS2 with Porsche GT3 (value 278), in normal clean driving. Previous value was around 70. After that change my rig seems quite normal. Maybe I have to record new roll and pitch rates for other every car...

SCN works smooth good but HYPERAXIS has issue spiking every 0.3sec. Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone,

I'm currently in the process of taking my rig to the next level and have a question regarding axis assignment, specifically within the "Generic 2D Advance" plugin. Following the tutorial from SCK Gaming

https://www.xsimulator.net/communit...2dof-project-videotutorial.16214/#post-217896

, we're advised to set the axis limitation to 85%. When setting the output type to 153°, does this mean it's 85% of 153°, or 85% of the full 180°? Since 85% of 180° equals 153°, I'm a bit confused. Therefore, if I want to limit the range to only 120°, should I enter 67%, 120°, or both?

Thank you in advance for your help and clarification.

If you don't set a limitation, how do you then adjust to the 38 to 40 degrees per direction that you often advocate for in the forum? I have already read the reference on how to create a profile; I just want to know if the percentages are calculated from the degree setting in output type or from 180 degrees?!

I thought it worked fine both before latest update. I prefer the behavior of HyperAXIS plugin that moves shrunk to the center at the starting is good for me than shrunk>extend >stop at center of SCN plugin. Thank you!

I got update notification for "up arrow" in blue, but I don't know what's to update. I have restarted the app but still in blue.

EDIT : OK, I think LMU that needs update.

Do you can explain how to setup in SMC3? With the max limits?

So I have to set for 120° the clip limit to 170 and max limit 180 of 255 to stop at 66.667 % right?
Leave the Axis limit and output type untouched in simtools?? Will SMC3 than convert tha values from 180 ° in a range of 120° like th TV does with th dynamic tone mapping? I would like to allocate 120° thats to be the sum of all effects (e.g. surge, pitch, heave etc.) =100%
