    I have sold meanwhile. I changed my interface settings as follows:
    [A<Axis1a>][B<Axis2a>][A<Axis1b>][B<Axis2b>]
    now i can use the b axes as well.


    Testing all the night....I'll response.

    Cheers,
    George

    You just set up Extra 2/3 the same as your Pitch/Roll settings but on the AxisB :) The surge should just work. I have had to change it to Extra 1/2/3 beacue of the large values or else you would be thrown out of your seat running at 1-2 in the tuning centre :D

    It may still be a little dodgy so let me know if anything else starts messing up and please can you check that it works when Changing ships and when in the Galaxy Map and the other problems

    I set up the extras at axis b assignments, but.. with this interface setup:

    [A<Axis1a>][B<Axis2a>][A<Axis1b>][B<Axis2b>]

    only the SRV has movements (only axis b movements).

    with the previous interface setup:

    [A<Axis1a>][B<Axis2a>]

    only the ship has movements (only axis a movements)

    How can I do that all a and b axes will work?

    I think something I have to change at the interface line?

    Cheers,
    George

    You just add the axis b's next to your axis a's in the same interface ;)

    Ahh re reading what you put that is what you have done so it should work ? hmmmmm

    Yep! :thumbs
    You can mix and match them all you need too.

    @George Dobransky
    Is your interface expecting 4 values from SimTools?
    I believe it was working with 2?
    What interface are you running?

    @yobuddy

    Thanx for help.

    So, I have 8 forces from simulator. I have set up 6 for axis 'a' assignments, and 2 extra for
    axis 'b' assignments.
    my current interface setup looks like:

    [A<Axis1a>][B<Axis2a>][C<Axis3a>]

    I only use 2 motors, so maybe 'C' is not necessary, but no problem.
    Now the movements coming only from 'a' assignments (6 forces).
    If I change the interface settings to this:

    [A<Axis1b>][B<Axis2b>][C<Axis3b]

    The movements coming only from 'b' assignments (2 forces).
    I want to get the movements from 'a' and 'b' assignments both, at the same time to the interface.
    How can I do that? Have I modify my interface setup-line, or something else?

    Thank You,
    George, Hungary

    I am really curious, what is it that you are running with this setup controlling 8 forces?

    @noorbeast the only way I could figure how to get the values for the SRV was to put them into the extra slots or else the values for the other 6dof would be too low as the SRV are not acceleration force values they are actual movement and angles so they do not reset to zero.

    Basically the spaceship and SRV use different matrx's to calculate the in world position. Well as far as I can tell they do lol

    I have had a :! moment :D doesn't happen very often but I will just multiply the values down to something similar as the acceleration values so there will be no need for the Extra numbers ;)

    Craig,

    Now that's the one! All forces working in ship and SRV also! I will also test it in the next few days and refer!
    Great job, tHX again!

    Cheers,

    Hi, thanks for your work, this is much better, I was testing and configuring the SRV and now if there movement. But I've noticed that the YAW that is Extra1 does not match what YAW should do. Another thing I noticed is that after testing the SRV in the training site and passing the training, I put the normal game and returned to the same problem that everything starts to move alone without me doing anything. I hope this can help in something thanks for all that you have done.

    Yes I need to delete the extra values as they are not needed, I cant seem to recreate the odd movements though :( I will have a look again see if I can get it to do this

    Edit: The Yaw is actual Yaw not Yaw acceleration, it goes from 180 to -180 degrees

    Hi,

    Sadly I'm struggling to get this to work at all. My other plugins for Project Cars etc. work ok, so its Just Elite Dangerous that's causing problems.

    My copy of the game is the latest version (Elite Horizons), which I got as a result of supporting the original Kickstarter (so its direct from Frontier rather than Steam etc.)

    When I patch the game, I get an error saying "Error while trying to install wow64etx.dll & GetBaseAddress64.dll. Please run GameManager in Admin mode or copy the files manually to the installation directory of SimTools!"

    I have tried both of these, but it doesn't make a difference - I don't get any data.

    Some things I have noticed, but don't know if they make a difference...

    - The install path of the game is slightly different from the one suggested in the Patch Manager
    - The Max Min file included in the patch identifies the game as Star Commander not Elite Dangerous 64
    - The Game Manager recognises the game is running, but on exit gives an Exception Address: 0 error

    Can anyone suggest anything at all - I'm desperate to get this running with my motion sim, and I'm out of ideas!

    John

    Have you downloaded the last plugin I made on last page of this thread ?

    With SimTools V2.0 it doesn't need a path so that doesn't matter, I am also running original version from Frontier however the steam version just runs the frontier launcher anyways.

    Something must be wrong if it is detecting it as StarCommander thats a new one on me, the details are taken from the plugin which is deffo EliteDangerous64. Have you installed wow64etx.dll & GetBaseAddress64.dll. into the simtools installation directory ?
