    Yeah, I remembered that as well by now.

    I referred to the SimTools3 manual offered on the website.

    Glad you got it all working buddy.
    The manual simply shows example settings that are not specifically for smc3 is all.
    (But If I had bad information somewhere, I would want to correct it is all.)
    Thanks for the message!

    Hello yobuddy,

    As far as game vibe i would like to ask for Epic Roller Coaster ...
    Can i change the configuration of the speakers 5.1 system setup? I mean, by default you have assigned left - right for the front and rear left - rear right for the back. Since i have already assigned my speakers 5.1 system for the bass shakers according to my other games like il2 sturmovik using different shakers software not simtool, can i change your default configuration to match mine?
    I mean , i would like to assign "c'' and "sw" channels of my front bass shakers which are already on the front left and right side of my rig and not "left" and "right" channels as it is your default setting.

    Thank you in advance.

    Epic Roller Coaster already supports all it can from the data that is supplied from the game. This includes Road Detail, Turbulence, Collision LR and Collision FB.

    Playing something in the 'front right' or 'front left' is just where the sound is played in 3d space, so if your sound card has a speaker configured for front right or front left, it should play. So to get you center to work, you would select a 'front' output in the app.
    Hope that helps!

    Since moving to Simtools 3 (great update btw!) I have been forced to check the "Auto detect Launched games" box every time I start Simtools, otherwise none of my games have motion.

    But recently is also resets all the min/max tuning values (for all games) everytime i run Simtools?

    I have saved both the profile and on the min/max page itself, but it resets anyways....

    What am I doing wrong?

    I can check the "Auto detect Launched games" and close and reopen simtools and its still there. It may be worth doing a clean install of SimTools v3 as there were quite a few changes during the beta phase. I believe we now are ready for a release candidate, so things won't change much from here.

    I can't see how it could wipe out the max/min settings for all the plugins, without a hard drive dying or something?

    Since the last update to IRacing, the game itself has a memory mapped file bug that I hope they are still working on. The problem can happen whenever you use more than one app to collect data from the game. But if you only use SimTools and IRacing alone, you won't see the problem.

    Yes that might solve it - can I do that without losing all the data?

    I am pretty confident that my harddrive is okay :)
    Simtools 3 has been working fine for months? Its just the last 2 weeks that has been going on like this?

    Sooo it just dawned on me to check the Simtools folder - it was "read only" - and now the data is back!

    I have no idea how it suddenly had changed - but the important thing is, that it works now - thanks :)

    We have been able to get the game installed and running, but we are not getting data either. It does not seem to be loading the SimConnect file. We will need to look into it more this coming week.

    I'm not sure the 'Button' should be anymore than a stop button in v3, but I'm still thinking it over.

    Is it possible to have simtools running on different PC to my Flightsimulator PC as you can in earlier Version 2.x?

    Hi Nick,
    Dual PC setups were deemed as not needed any more due to the power of modern pc's. But there is a list of remote (or console) plugins available for v3. Here is the official list of remote plugins.

    Maybe a question asked several times(but could not find it)...
    I am using the simtools 2.x version (perfectly), but is there any reason why I should go to Simtools 3...(not using dashboards etc)...
    I did some tests but not any big differences.(2Dof)... or am I missing something :)

    Tnx!

    Hi @Radje748,
    V3 will work along side your v2 setup, no need to fully replace v2 if your happy with your setup. But there is already some game plugins that are only available for v3, or have had updates to a given plugin. And of course there are features that are only available in v3, like crash detection and parking location and so on. But you don't need to re-setup any games you have already working in v2 if your happy.
    Take care,
    yobuddy

    So no differences in the way it works basicly.... using Simtools 2 now for almost 2 years...but was curious if maybe simtools 3 has smooter, quicker or other improverments in regards of movement (90% using Iracing)...
