    The Dir boxes being checked orange or not determine which way an axis moves, so reverse what you have for pitch.

    This is what SimTools expects: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/which-way-to-set-simtool-axis-movements.230/

    Hi Guys, I have been running this plugin with no probs, but I recently installed an xplane plugin to display moving ships and boats, which is located on Download scenery section of X-plane org forums called MarineTrafficX (I am new so can't post the direct link), this is making xplane crash now when game manager is running, It works fine without Simtools running. I checked data outputs nothing new was selected, so its not that. Not sure what's happening here. Also have asked the author of the plug-in but haven't heard anything back yet. Can someone please try install this plugin in x-plane and then try Simtools. It crashes within 30 secs to 1 min for me, depending on some sort of ship/boat movement I think?

    Hi guys, please ignore above, I did a lot of more testing and the issue was to do with my overclock settings not Simtools or the Xplane plugin. Feel free to use it, it adds a lot of immersion to the seas and rivers. Thanks.

    Can you please explain the context in which it occurs, post pictures of any error messages and of all of your settings.

    Normally due to a USB connection error. Try a different port/cable etc.

    Am I using the wrong settings? These seem to work for the FSX plugin but not on X plane, I tried replacing Pitch with Exta 1 and Roll with Extra 2 but still no response. The simulator is working fine when output testing. All the settings are set in X plane 11, as when I enabled them my simulator moved into the correct position. Any help would be appreciated :)

    What rig do you have and is SimTools acting as expected in Output Testing: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/which-way-to-set-simtool-axis-movements.230/

    I ask because normally sway would be set the opposite to roll, but that is not what you have in your settings.

    I think X Plane is now talking to Sim Tools as when I change the settings in X plane, the simulator does move when I save the settings. However now whenever I try to make a flight the game just crashes :/

    X Plane is not that easy to configure for me also, I also have a DOF Reality (P3) and for me the Pitch and Roll are reacting well, but weakly, I do have to put more than 120 to feel something that is half of what I feel in a real aircraft.
    Also the yaw is not working correctly, if I yaw with my rudder, sometimes nothing happens and sometimes I'm in straigh and level flight and my rig is yawing full left or right without any reason

    I managed to finally get it all working! I have the same issue as you though, response seems very week even when putting a high %. The motion works but it just doesn't seem to have the same power I get when using the rig with FSX. Hopefully there's a way to improve this, if anyone has any ideas let us know!

    Yep, I'll give it another try tomorrow
    I do have this with XP11, P3D, AFS2, but eveyrthing work well on simracing so I'm pretty sure than we are not configuring perfectly Simtools

    Yeah I agree, I'll try mess around with the settings once I get the chance later in the week too. If you get it working let me know the settings you used :)

    It takes practice to create and refine motion profiles: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/steps-to-create-a-motion-profile.228/

    And flight profiles are a little different than race profiles. For a start Filters are often used, in particular Smoothing and Washout - Gain and Return. It is also not unusual to have higher % Axis Allocations for pitch and roll, plus higher totals.

    I would suggest a total Axis Allocation of 475% is way too high.

    You also need to change the Axis Type to Generic 2D Standard, which will then make the Filter options available.
