    If the Brunner FFB joystick also uses the export.lua file, then you will need to combine the two export.lua files together.

    The v3 DCS plugin has been updated to properly backup and restore the export.lua file when patching and unpatching. Unfortunately, we only got the plugin updated today, so you probably don't have a export.bak file I'm afraid.

    There's nothing to save yet. Populate the interface output field and the save should turn green.

    Hello Yobuddy

    After a long Time i had a new Test with Simtools 3 and ACC and RF2 AC
    With Simttols 2.6 evertihing is work fine, with 3 iss all of them the Stuttering so the Actuartos feel like moving in 1% Steps but with normla Motion Effects..
    I try the MIN/MAX Capure with 1 Effect no positive result :(
    So when i ride with 1 Effect the Stuttering iss all so...
    My 4 Actuartors are the Platform, 5a the Sway AirGeforce and 5b Surge is an Extra Actuartor and 6 iss Platform Traction Loss ;)
    So everthing iss good configurated ;)

    I try to make a video

    What does your axis assignments look like?
    My guess is your using the rate outputs for roll, pitch or yaw and not using washout?

    My guess is this is suppose to be pitch?
    upload_2024-3-23_13-24-35.png

    You would get a better ride if you replaced the roll with sway and the pitch with surge btw.
    (you will find the sim reacts to your inputs much better, gas ,breaking etc...)

    Unless you need separate max/min settings per axis assignment, I would suggest keeping the data input source set to Set #1. (As most of the game plugins have a default max/min settings for Set #1)
    Anyway, I just think it may be easier for you in the long haul.
    Take care!

    May I see your max/min settings for the game buddy.
    I'm currently using the scn interface with my current test sim, and the hyperaxis interface is the same code with a bit different startup routine is all. I took a quick look and I don't see any problems, but can take a better look tomorrow morning.

    Hello everyone, I'm currently setting up my Simtools V3 again. Does anyone have any tips for me? It's too choppy for me, the effects basically work, but it's still pretty stuttery and I don't think it runs very smoothly. I've seen videos where it looks much better. Since many of the videos are in English and I'm from Germany, it's of course possible that I haven't understood something correctly and have set it up incorrectly. I'm attaching pictures of how it's currently configured. In AC it is working better than in ACC. But im currently trying to configure it for AC. Or do you think i should use Simtools V2.6?

    And Acceleration is only Wirkung well in the first gear, in the other gears you are recognizing near to no acceleration.
