    Glad you got your latest issue sorted out.;)
    But I want to share a little trick with you I forgot about. When I wrote smc3-sps I anticapated some people may have issues running Simtools at 500000 with the arduino. Therefore I included a jumper setting that allows for it to be changed between 500000 and 115200 without altering the sketch at all. Putting a jumper from gnd to pin 8 will switch the arduino from 500000 to 115200 and removing it will switch it back (requires an arduino reset or power cycle each time switched). If you want to get really fancy you can put a switch on the jumper so you can switch it without pulling the jumper wire.

    I will have to remember that one, but I'm an expert now at changing the baud by the Arduino and if it get it sorted properly I should not have to play with SMC very often, I hope. :thumbs

    I have edited that info into the SMC thread post: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/smc3-arduino-3dof-motor-driver-with-softstart.9479/

    My problem is I can patch pcar 1 but not pcar 2. When I complete patching pcar 2. There is no “patch copleted”. So when I launch pcar 2, game manager does have “connected” but no “game running”.
    Can someone help me?

    I think that from all the above posts, it should be solved.

    Are you using the Steam version and have you configured the in-game settings correctly: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/projectcars.188/

    Does Output Testing work as expected in SimTools?

    Please post pictures of all of your setting for SimTools and in-game.

    Hello everyone, i have a question about the project cars plugin. So far everything works fine. I mentioned that pitch isnt really used for acceleration and decelleration. Is this my fault or is Just configured like that? How can I edit this to nose up while accelerate and nose down for braking, like in live for speed.

    Sounds like you need to refine your surge settings, as that is the axis used for acceleration and braking.

    Yes, but it is configured correct because in live for speed it works as it should.... Mhhh

    Each game needs to have its motion profile refined specifically for it, you can't rely on setting from another unrelated game because how data is pulled from games differs between motion plugins, and motion rigs can also be very different, see the tips here in the FAQs: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/steps-to-create-a-motion-profile.228/

    yes yes sure i know that :D but i mean in principle it works - in live for speed - so i can exclude any wrong configuration within the simtools settings for the rig itself- surge works fine ! but not in Project cars 1 , i just used the latest plugin from here. maybe theres no surge implemented for the plugin, or wrongly defined ? is there any chance to edit or finetune the plugin to use surge movements more ?
