    Hello dear forum members. I ran into a difficult problem. On a laptop, the gaming chair works properly in the LFS game and in the SMC3Utils v1.01 utility, but not on a desktop computer. That is, the telemetry from the game is running, it can be seen in the simtools window, but the gaming chair does not move. In testing mode, the chair does not work in the simtools program either, but it works well in the SMC3Utils v 1.01 utility. What could be the problem? All I knew was that I had already tried and reinstalled simtools 2.5.1 on simtools 2.2. and changed the speeds from 500000 to 115200. Please tell me.

    If Simtools appears to be getting the telemetry data OK, the problem must between the output of Simtools and your gaming chair controller. First of all, make sure that Simtools is configured on the desktop with the same parameters as you have it working on the laptop such as output string, speed etc. Bear in mind that the COM port will probably be different.

    I have checked and compared the parameters with the laptop several times, but the result is still negative. For a better understanding, I post my parameters. And in the photo you can see that simtools receives data from the game, but the chair does not work. 1.JPG 2.JPG 3.JPG 4.JPG 5.JPG
