SimTools v3 Public Beta

Hi I've recently moved on from Xplane 11 with Simtools 2.0 worked perfectly.
I have installed Xplane 12 (non steam) and have followed the Simtools v3 instructions but the motion does not match the plane any at all. The only thing the simulator does is jerk back and forth sometimes violently.

I tested ets2 and Ats with Simtools 3 and they work fine. Has anyone installed Xplane 12 with Simtools V3 and have it working fine.

The rig I'm using is a 4 actuator Thanos Amc aasd-15A

Hi @yobuddy! Glad to to see SimTools in RC phase!

I seem to have a problem with the latest version of V3. Automatic profile selection (Auto) does not always work with AMS2. For example, in this picture, SimTools is connected to the plugin and data is coming in. Car at the track is GTE Corvette. However, the default profile is still turned on. Sometimes it is enough to put Auto off and turn it back on to make SimTools detect a car, but that does not always work. Any idea what could cause this?

Also, recently I have noticed that SimTools stops getting data from the game, while I'm tuning min/max values. I have to select Stop and connect again and that usually fixes it. I have Windows 11 and all the updates are always installed. And SimTools is updated, last yesterday. Windows Security (Defender) is my antivirus. No other security software. What could cause this kind of disconnecting?

EDIT: This view just occured(partial_data): MB GT4 only partially displays data. Capture is on as you can see, I drove around, throttled, braked, spinned etc... Still, nothing but roll, pitch and yaw. Hard to believe that this car would give only that much. So far it hasn't been like this. What is going on...?? Any help is really appreciated.

Could it be that there is some problem between SimTools and AMS2? What can I try to do to fix this issue? Is it possible that AMS2 works differently now? It is updated to 1.5.6.3.

I have Lenovo T7 with i7-11700 and 32GB RAM (47% used), so these issues should not be due to lack of capacity.

Hi, can anyone help me setting up Simtools 3.0 for my old DOFReality P3? I recently upgraded my PC and I have to re install Simtools again. The original setup guide was with the old Simtools and DOFReality is now using SRS which I can't use because my P3 still use the old version of control box. I can't find the setup guide for the new Simtools 3.0 anywhere. Thanks in advance

The simulator moves fine when I do the Axis assignments test but it won't move during the game.

Hi, it's working now. For some reasons it doesn't work when I run from Steam and it works when I run from Simtools app. Thanks

Hello yobuddy,
currently i face an issue and i would like your help.
i cannot start (boot) my pc or cannot shut it down while the servos that are connected to an Arduino board to control a pneumatic g seat with simtools are on power. If i turn off the ac to dc power supply which is connected to my servos then i can boot or shut down my pc.
Thank you.

Thank you very much! I got this tested moment ago.

I did it like this:

1. AMS2 game open from Steam, monitor only (My Play shortcut is configured to launch VR, this time I did not want VR)
2. Double-clicked SimTools "Play" to connect to AMS2
3. Default profile selection on.
4. On the first attempt, I took the same car (MB GT4) to the track. Profile changed to MB GT4 and data came to all DOFs. So far so good.
5. I kept SimTools connected to AMS.
6. I tried to manually change the profile to default.
7. I went to the main menu and back to the test drive MB GT4. The default profile will NOT change automatically anymore.
8. When I exit and re-launch SimTools and don't touch the profile, it works again.
9. Second test: Again, if I change the profile to default or any other car profile, SimTool doesn't change back to a correct car profile, when I go driving from AMS2 main menu.
10. It doesn't help even if I stop the plugin connection and reconnect.

DOF min/max values seem to flow ok, though.

So maybe not totally ok? I hope this helps.

PS:My forum alias looks pretty boring...default random name&number...I should do something about it

Is it related that i didnt let simtools to make the new update?

report this error that happens to me on 2 different PCs when I start simtool 3 and launch the rf2 game my play button works correctly but if during the game I have to stop the data and movements to do some calibrations to the axes the button no longer responds I have to restart simtool v3
