    I can't figure out why you need the 'MATH * 1' command?
    I can't see how it does anything?

    It doesn’t, but thats how the tutorial had it so I just kept it there. I will either remove it use it to scale the fan output. I have to play around with it now that it is working.

    Thanks

    My Windows PC absolutely refuses to allow me to download and execute this zip file. Chrome and Edge download the file, but the virus scanner immediately deletes it. So I tried a less paranoid browser. It downloads. But once I unpack the executable, the OS marks it for immediate deletion. I'm assuming this is not a virus packed executable. Does anyone else have this problem?

    Nope. All you have to do is shuttoff anti virus. Example: actually, w10 uses defender. So, disable the 3 levels, install simtools, enter on "EXCLUDE" and put programs you choose, for exclude verifications.

    It is a false positive because of the way SimTools works: https://www.xsimulator.net/communit...r-as-trojan-win32-rundas-b.10708/#post-138738

    SimTools itself has been submitted to a range of anti virus vendors and has been cleared, like with Windows Defender, but you did not say what you are using.

    Thanks for the replies. I just found out I can't use Dash anyway, as I have the DIY version of SimTools.

    Yes, I should have bought the Pro license originally, but bought the DIY version a few hours ago. I'll live without Dash. Thanks.:(

    Maybe @yobuddy could help you with that should you wanted to upgrade to the pro license without paying the full price

    Every time I start Game Dash or change the Output Type I get the following Unhandled Exception. It's a Windows 10 Home PC. I get no error on my Windows 10 Pro PC. Any ideas?

    I would suggesting uninstalling GameDash.
    (be sure to answer yes to the (remove old settings and files popup.)
    And then reinstall it.

    Did you enable .net 3.5 in win10?

    Simply uninstalling and reinstalling GameDash appears to have resolved that issue. Thanks:thumbs

    I have a problem with Pcars2 and simwind, the dashes display the values but the fans are not spinning. All other racegames work fine.

    There's a more detailed description in the dedicated topic:

    https://www.xsimulator.net/communit...ut-from-gamedash-in-pcars2.11857/#post-154098

    I have diagnosed the problem further and narrowed it down to either a Pcars2 plug-in or gamedash related bug.

    The temporary fix is to close gamedash while Pcars 2 is running and launch gamedash again. This will result in spinning fans.

    Took me quite a while to figuer this out. Perhaps it's also related that i only use simwind and no other outputs or motion.

    @yobuddy can you have a look a this ?

    Thx

    @HoiHman
    This was fixed in SimTools v2.2.5.
    If your are running v2.2, then just install v2.2.5 over the top.
    Let me know how it goes buddy.

    Looks like the bug is still present then mate, since i did a fresh install 2.2.5 early this week.
    I never even ran 2.2 before.

    [​IMG]

    I double checked, but as you can see above i am running 2.2.5
