    Hi @Abdul Hameed
    I'm reinstalling X-Plane after I annihilated my SSD. And it takes ∞ time.
    In the meantime you probably want to have a look at this post, where I explain, how to install the plugin manually.
    (Yes, it's about X-Plane 9 but works alike for X-Plane 10)

    Thanks for reply,

    Yes I followed the post and manually installed plugin, now I can see the axis values.

    The issue was localhost 127.0.0.1

    But my motors are not working as expected. Motors moves only at start then nothing .....

    I have 2motors

    Surge 60% surge 60% default setting

    This point do I need to change other options from sim tool axis presetting default to motion x etc....

    Hello all.

    I am a new forum member, currently own a SIMXPERIENCE STAGE IV and live in Portugal. I am looking for x-plane 64 bits plugin as simcommander only supports the 32 bit version. Can you please confirm if simtools is compatible with 64bit version?

    Thank you.

    hi @cpvasconcelos
    I *think* the plugin is compatible with both versions. To be 100% sure I will need to check though.

    LOL, the plugin was working fine in 64bit mode but not in 32bit mode.
    Now it works fine for both versions! :thumbs
    @cpvasconcelos: Thanks for asking ;)

    Thank you very much.
    Being a newybie here, the fastest way to try it out is to purchase 29 eur credits, right?

    Ps - is there any risk of using simtools in simxperience? (Meaning burning actuators or simx3000 board?)

    We have a big influx of simx guys converting over presently, most are removing the Simx box and rewiring the plugs to separate RS adapters which are dirt cheap (about 10 bucks) and hooking them directly to the pc via a usb connection. Once both set with a base id of '0' SimTools can be setup.
    This doesn't destroy the original box so if not satisfied (which you wont be) you can revert everything back to the way it was.

    Thanks.
    Anyway, I got it working simtools and simxperience, without any rewiring.
    Like another member posted, scn5 actuators are visible under com3, com4, com5... Then just a matter of correctly configuring the axles.
    Works like a charm.

    In this case what would be the benefit of rewiring to direct connection of actuators to pc?

    Cheers.
