    Hello everyone

    I wonder if Sim-tool supports a 360-720 simulator?

    I'm working on a 2Dof 360-720 simulator, and I would like the simulation a complete experience, such as when a vehicle overturns, something very significant in Chinese simulators, rotating 2-axis, increasing the feeling g-force.

    Thanks in advance for your answers.

    I leave a picture of a Chinese simulator.

    Simtools does not directly support any simulator although it does directly support SCN actuators if you wish to use them. Otherwise, Simtools extracts telemetry, scales it, mixes it, and then outputs it using various methods to your simulators control software or hardware, which is separate from Simtools. It will allow for control of over 360 degrees though if your simulators control method allows for it.

    Usually these chinese simulators comes with their own software and are very especifics for a game, they are designed more for arcade centers than for using in multigame at home.

    In order for it to work, your Interface needs to know about rollover.
    So say the old output is -178 and the new location is 5.
    instead of it going all the way around to get to 5 and past 0, so -178, -177, -176 and so on
    We want it to go -178, -179, -180... and then 1, 2 ,3 ,4 ,5 <-- target reached.
    hope this makes sense buddy.

    Thanks for your answers

    so I understood that the plugins is what gives the settings, I'm still working on the engines to have continuous movement, and also will'll have to create a plugin for the movement of 360
