SimTools v3 Public Beta

V3 Pro- the cricket at the top right is illuminated blue and hovering over produces a message that says new plugin available. Uninstalled all plugins and reinstalled them, took ages as Simtools doesn’t save plugin settings so you have to set them back to what you like. Restarted Simyools and PC. It’s still telling me there’s a new plugin available.

Hi yobuddy thank you for your reply.
I have already done all the above you said, simtools seems to get min/max values for air and runway separately by pressing "save" button , but when I stop playing the game and return to simtools I see that min/max values for "air" have all returned to zero!
What happens?
Thank you in advance.

Thanks Yobuddy, appreciate the response. I looked for—- the new SOLO interface plugin, go-to the plugin manager and click interface plugins.—- but nothing said update or anything like that. I have now set all my updates to auto, see if that fixes things.

Thanks for the tip on export as well. I chose the community option, is that correct? Not sure of the difference.

Hello Yobuddy, I have running SMC3 with Arduino UNO for maybe around 1 year. But sometimes my rig moves beyond limit. If it does, I have to stop the rig and open up SMC3 app and then give zero values for the limits and click ON. Motor back to center after that it works again.

I'm wondering, does SMC3 have 'Auto Reset' for that?

Thanks

When it's on limits, my motor will turn off and sink. Can I get Auto Reset with getting in the SMC3 app to reset it?

Hi.
I have occured the problem I used joy stick plungin and work well but this plugin necessary show on the window tab but some game need to switch game tab window after that simtools cannot be worked after I switch to game tab window !

Would you help or advice any fix this problem ?

I need to keep joy stick plunin running durring I play the game

Hello Yobuddy, yes I did that already from the first time I built the rig. It helps, but my rig sometimes moves beyond limit and then it like 'losing power' so my motor turn off middle of race then it will sink. It looks like the safety feature kicking in. I noticed it happens if take lot off amps I think, like in SPA track on the first turn (hill). Is this sign of not enough power or my VNH5019 can't provide more amps?

So I'm searching for a Auto Reset for the actuator after losing power (sink to the bottom).

What I did from my habit if my actuators are sinking are :
1. Deactivated Simtools.
2. Open SMC3 app.
4. Clicking the OFF button into ON.
5. All actuators will back to middle position.
6. Close SMC3 app.
7. Activate Simtools.
8. Back to the game, run like it should.

I don't know if this coincident but I setup SMC3 with Max limits 50 and clip input 100, are these too much?

Is it possible that the "on ground" part of simtools V3 is bugged? In both DCS and FS2020 i get strange spikes all over the place when I am sitting on the runway not moving, however as soon as I start moving they disappear and everything is fine. if I stop on the runway they return. Any ideas here?

That was my first thought too, so I set them to like +/- 100 and it had no effect on the ground spikes.

Any other suggestions of what to look at? Doesn't seem like noise in the motion system since it goes away when I pause the flight sim. I thought maybe the sim was sending spikes, but large values don't show up when capturing. It's like the filter doesn't work when sitting on the ground or simtools is injecting them or amplifying them some how.

done

Hi, I would be very grateful if the Gand Prix Legends plugin could be converted to SimTools V3.
Still enjoying this 25 year old sim!
