    Hello, in the photos you can see how my settings are, I have been looking for information on this and I have tried everything I have seen, when I run the SMC3 utils system, I run the engines without any problem. My problem is when I try to make the game send the data. I've also dealt with other games like Grid2, project cars and do the same. I have a 2dof, one engine I want to control the pitch and another the roll. I do not know what I'm doing wrong that the game is not sending any data.

    For NL2 you have to enable the --telemetry flag and it only works with the full version, not the trial version: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/no-limits-2-v2-2-and-higher-how-to-activate-telemetry.198/

    Use these as the initial 'Interface Settings' configuration, just change to the appropriate com ports: https://www.xsimulator.net/communit...-and-windows-utilities.4957/page-5#post-50249

    Which way and axis moves is controlled by the DIR box being checked orange or not. This is the standard way the axis should be configured to move: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/which-way-to-set-simtool-axis-movements.230/

    For example one will be checked orange for sway and the opposite checked for roll.

    The official SimTools documentation is here: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/rtfm-start-with-the-official-simtools-documentation.117/

    And you can find further configurations tips and tweaks in the FAQs: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/simtools-settings-tips-and-tricks.18/category

    Ok that works out! . That means that I have to activate the telemetry on each game? . What about grid and projects cars?

    @Floydpr
    looking at your pic you are trying to run both simtools and smc util at same time. Only 1 program can access a com port at a time, close smc and just run ssimtools and game you want motion from.

    No, the --telemetry flag is just for NL2.

    You're right I'm realizing that., I'm trying to run grid2 and nothing, the game is by steam and it gives me the message that if it is 32bit install the plugin in the folder of the installation, and if it is 64 in the Folder of the ducumento, but I try on both sides and nothing ... in this game of grid 2 I have to do some kind of activation as NL2?

    First run the game and drive around a bit.

    Then patch to the folder inside My Games: C:\Users\Your_User_Name\Documents\My Games\DiRT3 (or whatever the game name folder is)

    This might help me aswell.
    My problem is that when I look at the data output from SimTools when testing with a Virtual Serial Port, I get the data that I want, but when I try to send the data to an Arduino, I cant see any of it in RealTerm?

    Do you know what is going on and how can i fix it?

    Your issues are unrelated to this thread. Best to start your own thread and fully explain what data you are trying to get and how you intend using it.

    Hello again , I am try to put the plugin for PCars and now is not working with the Sim tool 2v , the only message receive after I install the plugin is Please Turn on MMF in the PCARS option game itself. What it is That? I look for that in the game and not see it. I remember when I have the Sim-tool V1.3 my problem was that I was installing the plugin in bad place. Now I cant choose the folder with V2 of sim-tool.

    note: the game Manager look that is running. on tuning center nothing move.

    Thank you for you help
