    Today I had a while to tinker and as they had commented some foreros, the problem was in the configuration of the ports, since when I connected with SimHub I stopped working the movement of the simulator. It has been renaming the ports and everything works perfectly, both the movement with Simtools, and the vibration and Dashboard with SimHub. Now I will need to refine and put it to my liking.

    A greeting and thank you all for your help.



    Hoy he tenido un rato para trastear y tal y como habían comentado algunos foreros, el problema estaba en la configuración de los puertos, ya que al conectarme con SimHub me dejaba de funcionar el movimiento del simulador. Ha sido renombrar los puertos y funcionar todo perfectamente, tanto el movimiento con Simtools, como la vibración y Dashboard con SimHub. Ahora me faltará afinar y ponerlo a mi gusto.

    Un saludo y gracias a todos por vuestra ayuda.

    Thanks, for the fast plugin, for me works perfect with my dofreallity p3.

    I did refine my motionprofile to my likings and changed direction box for pitch tough.

    But feels amazing.:)

    Hello... after 2.4 SimTools update I have a problem with DiRT Rally 2.0.

    When I launch the game and normally start, driving any car, everything works perfectly and the 3 DOF dynamic actuators of my driving station move perfectly, but once the first test is completed if I try to re-enter the game again on a new track only the rear actuator (designed for loss of grip) works, while the other two (the front ones) stop working!
    Leaving the game, in the desktop the Game Engine icon flashes intermittently, turning blue, and if I enter directly in the SimTools Game Engine the Axis Assignments and Interface settings options flash blue also.
    Closing the SimTools Game Engine and then restarting it all returns to normal but only for the first track... if I continue for a second track, the problem reappears.

    This happens only on DiRT Rally 2.0 while on all other driving games this problem is not present.

    Before the last update DiRT Rally 2.0 did not present this problem.

    How could I solve this situation?

    This is the new soft centering, this is normal.
    If you don't want it to do this, you can turn it off in the Tools section.

    It is confusing that only the back one works again.
    So it makes me wounder if you are using a USB hub?
    Or if the back actuator is plunged into a different bank of USB connections?

    yobuddy, no hub device, all 3 actuators are plugged directly back to the pc with their usb cables...

    Sorry, what should I disable to turn off the new soft centering?
    And why this problem only happens with DiRT Rally 2.0?

    But, at the same time, if this option is important to maintain for better operation of the actuators, how can I prevent the repetition of the problem in DiRT Rally 2.0 without disabling it?

    first, swap plugs with the actuator that keeps working with one that does not.
    And then try your test again and let me know which one, if any, keep working?

    Hi after upgrade to simtools 2.4 I have the same problem. When I start first stage everything is good, simulator works but when I choose restart stage, moves just cut off, nothing happens with my simulator...

    I also noticed that after restart stage in Dirt 2, centering flashing into infinity in simtools, does not return to game mode

    And give it a try.
