    Has anybody actually used Thanos AMC 1280 with Simtools with success? I have been trying for 2 weeks now and I get motion but its all over the map . I use the AMC 1280 with Ians softare and it works perfect so I know I have settings right to the AMC. But Simtools I cannot figure it out. I have a 3 DOF with MDO3 controllers. I am using NL2 plugin and all the sliders in virtual axis are moving great. I have Motion just not the right ones to the AMC.
    Help anybody I'm at my wits end with this.

    No not yet I have emailed him but i think he is busy finding a new job. No replies. I was thinking of trying the FSX plugin and see what happens or try X-sim.

    Maybe not many on this site use Thanos,s card. Not really necessary for the sims we build.

    Well Thanos got back to me and adjusted a few #s I needed 16 bit and 2 ms and a few adjustments on the PID controller ,well I have a great roller coaster sim. works excellent a little fine tuning and I am happy!
    So answer to my own question : yes the AMC 1280 works very good with Simtools! Now for some racing sims....

    I would have the same problem. The AMC1280 works fine but I'd like to try simtools in this new version.

    I have a 6dof in operation for a couple of years.

    Can it not be implemented on compatible devices?

    Looks like this is the correct string up to date if anyone else is having trouble finding it:

    <255><255><Axis3a><Axis4a><Axis5a><Axis6a><Axis1a><Axis2a><0><0><0><0><10><13>

    This definitely works for FlyPT.
