SimTools v3 Public Beta

Min/max Tuning values do save only IF you don't go the Axis Assigments menu and press that green Save (profile). That seems a bit odd.

I was tuning min/max values, saved. Then shutdown Windows. Came back after GP to realize values are at defaults. Remembered that I must (?) press that green save on another menu.

I set it up to 120° and 70% in simtools and test axis.. I do not see any changes. Will be affect only in game and not when I test the axis?

further I wanted to mention, that the parking position does not work. Every time I start a game, the simulator is jumping to parking position and I have the speed to 1.

Only when I tested and push the button, save and park will be parking slow.

Hi, My Simtools V3 is telling me there are updates and plug-in updates available but I can’t see a way to update. I think previously it has asked if I want to update and I’ve said yes but this time the option didn’t appear.

thanks

Is the axis limiting linear? I don’t think so. Because I set axis 1,2,4 and 5 to 70% and I don’t notice anything. Then I reduced to 35% and know it seems to be about 70% when I test the settings.

Also I set the smc3 clipping limit to 255 and max limit to 90. know I am about 70%

As I know from the manual the output type in the advance 2d generic settings are for seat belt tension.

For explanation, I would like to use 120 ° of range of motion. Like sk1 from simukit. The rod is mounted half way between ctc lever and motor shaft. So 6,74 ctc the rod is mounted 3,37cm. So the heave way is near linear.

When it is linear, is 100% is equivalent to 360 degrees? I thought is equivalent to 180 degree.

Further I thought that parking position is center?!

Hello guys. Is there any possibility of having revs, speed and etc, on tablets or secondary monitors in Simtools 3? Also, any possibility of fordwarding ports to other devices? Many thanks

For anyone having problems with the game Squadron with Simtools 3.0.
Follow the step by step:
- In the Min/Max tuning Tab, click on CAPTURE, fill in the values:
Rool: 2, -2
Pitch:1,-1
Yaw: 1,-1
Heave:1,-1
Sway:1,-1
Surge: 2,-2
Extra 1: 25, -25
Extra 2: 25, -25
Once done, press Stop and save!
Additionally, you will need:
1. Go to the \SteamLibrary\ steamapps\common\STAR WARS Squadrons folder. Then change the file name: starwarssquadrons_launcher.exe
for
starwarssquadrons_oldlauncher.exe
2. In CMD with administrator privileges, access the \SteamLibrary\ steamapps\common\STAR WARS Squadrons\ folder and type the following command:
mklink starwarssquadrons_launcher.exe starwarssquadrons.exe
This will create a symbolic link of the file name.
Once this is done, access the Game through Steam itself.
Motion will only work in story mode. In phase 5 of story mode it will not work. Then it works again in phase 6.

Can anyone put this information on the notes page for this plugin?
It took a lot of work to achieve this and there must be a lot of people with this same problem.

Apologies for the misunderstanding. I was referring specifically to the axis assignment when using a rotational motor, questioning whether the 0-100% scaling is linear or if it follows an exponential or logarithmic curve, equivalent to 360%. To my understanding, this would mean setting it to 35% is equal to 70%, which is approximately 126 degrees. Because when I set the axis limit to 70%, the lever moves almost 180 degrees... My potentiometer ranges from 0-5V and covers 360° in a 1:2 ratio, so a 180° movement of the lever equals one full rotation of the pot.

I haven't changed anything on the parking location page, only the speed. What I've noticed is that when the motors are powered on and idling, and no motion program like SimTools, FlyPT, or SMC3Utils is running, just the Arduino and motors powered up, the rig jumps from 5% to about 30%. When I test the axis assignment or start a game, it jumps to center (50%).

I hope this clarifies the confusion and helps!

Many thanks Yobuddy, I will take a closer look to every game. About the mit's app inventor, any thread on that?

Hello,

Ive had my P3 platform from dofreality for over 5 years now and its been great. They used to ship the platforms out with the simtools license but have transitioned to SRS in recent years. I use both, and i just prefect sim tools for certain titles.

I'm very familiar with simtools 2.5 and its tuning parameters, but with the new titles coming out (LMU and WRC 23), plugins are not available. I have Simtools 3.0 and it works with my rig, but i tried setting up the "axis" with little luck. I tried copying the simtools 2.5 settings but the axis seem to be flipped/wrong. For instance, surge acts as roll and so forth. Is there a tutorial for this setup? Does anyone on here use the dofreality p3 with simtools 3.0? Can you please share you axis settings?

Thank you!

Been messing around with setting up V3 with DCS, and getting some wackiness. Any suggestions are appreciated.

-On the ground, any application of brakes, or when taking off from a dead stop, I'm getting extreme vibration/chattering in the rig.

-When I fire the gun in the F18, I get teeth chattering vibration, similar to what's coming through on the brakes.

-In general, I'm getting a lot of jumping and what feels like junk feedback while maneuvering.

-If I use SURGE at all, while on the ground sitting still, I get a rhythmic seesawing of the rig. I can tune this out by increasing values in min/max tuning, but then I lose the accell/decel pitching I'm going for in the rig.

I have an SFX100 based 3DOF with Heave & Traction Loss

Below are pics of my values.

TIA

Hi. Any help how to set udp and where to f1 2023 game that simtools and simhub will be work together?
What could be the theoretical reason that on rbr it runs beautifully smooth on the 1nd launch and on the next launches the movement is no longer as smooth as before. Checked on several computers. It also seems to me that when I turn on customization at max min then the movement becomes smooth again. Is this a placebo effect? Are there any circumstances that this could happen? Also simhub works every time
Also language regional bug still exist
Take care
