    Use 1a and 2a.

    It helps others if you post a picture of your settings.

    Sorry, But I don't understand if the version 2.4.1 have some problems and so it's better to return to version 2.4, or I need to change some settings in Game Manager and Game Engine.
    Thanks
    Best Regards

    same to me. using dofreality H3 with serial interface. Had to go back to 2.4.

    Output testing (and games) do not work proper. Axis are not reacting in a normal way

    Where is this file? Does not seem to appear in the 2.4 release under the main app folder.

    I agree it is specific to the serial interface as when I changed my SMC3 to work via the app and UDP, it works fine.

    Hello people on the forum I wanted to ask you if someone after installing the 2.4.1 version had a problem ... I changed it to the previous 2.4 and I continue with the problem that they do not communicate in each other on the desktop pc I have the game and In a notebock I control the simu they have an idea why it would be.
    and another question is there any uninstaller of simtools installation cleaner

    SimTools has an Uninstaller, it can be found in the SimTools folder in the Windows menu.

    You can't run 2 versions of SimTools on the same PC, if that is what you mean.

    no ... it is that I installed the latest version of simtools 2.4.1 and that has the problem that they do not connect with the game engine and when I go back to 2.4 it follows me with the same problem.

    While I am aware of SimTools 2.4.1 slider issues relating to a recent Windows update I do not recall any issues connecting Game Engine, so suspect that may be specifically related to your computer, but I am flagging it for @yobuddy to be sure.

    If I still installed the latest update 2.4.1 and I also have windows 10 2004 and when I found out that 2.4.1 brought problems with that version of windows from there I wanted to go back to the old version 2.4 and the connection problem between the game engine and the game manager follow what I do I have to return to the previous windows version

    Hello people on the forum I wanted to make a correction I was doing some tests and I want to clarify that the version of simtools 2.4.1 and 2.4 works perfectly with a single machine, I mean, installing the g.engine and the g.manager in a single pc what ami and all those who use two PCs are harmed.
    I was trying to configure it to send the telemetry data to the second pc but no case.
    The question is if anyone has any idea ... the error is in the IP number provided by both the program with the engine and the manager ... or the operating system is not providing us with the security of connecting with other PCs other than the one ip provided
    The version of windows that I am using is the win with the update 2004 and test until completely tiring the antivirus of windows.
    There are some photos of the 2.4.1 version connected on the same pc and another one wanting to connect two different ones

    Hello people on the forum, look at this other data that I discovered from the simtools 2.4.1 version.
    I just formatted the machine that I have installed the games and the game manager, the windows version that I have in this machine is 1909 and in the notebock I have the 2004 version, I still did not install any game that I could try with the simulator but I do not believe that does not save telemetry data. In the two pc I have the 2.4.1 version of simtools tomorrow when I install a game I show a couple of photos.
    time with all this I was disconcerted by the update of window 2004 because I believed that I had something that did not allow the simtools to connect normally, which is not when I install the latest update on the game machine. 20200902_215435.jpg

    I'm don't quite understand what you are saying, but for a single PC setup, both Ip addresses should be 127.0.0.1 (home).
    Take care,

    I had installed on the S doS pc the update of windowS 10 2004 with the last update of SimtoolS 2.4.1 and between the game manager and the game engine and I did not connect
    and format the game pc with the game manager and leave it in the 1909 update.

    You must install the SimtoolS 2.4.1 in the doS pc but the game engine pc has the update of windowS 2004 and the game pc has the update 1909 and now I have a connection between the game engine and the game manager.

    So I wanted to comment ... thank you for answering igul .....

    I tried the new update 2.4.1 and I also had problems.
    When I turn on the motion platform it immediately behaves strangely.
    I also use a serial interface so this might be the problem.
    I reverted back to 2.4.0 and everything back to normal.
    I am still on win 1909

    if the only one that works with windows version 2004 and 2.4.1. from simtools is the game engine the manager does not connect or misbehaves .. the manager works well with the 1909 just. we must keep waiting for both windows and simtools updates.

    Hello,
    I don't know if anyone else has this problem or ever had it,
    I am using simtools 2.4.1, arduino micro and sabertooth 2x32, for a 2 DOF simulator,
    regularly, simtools has no effect on my engines using output testing, sometimes it works great. as if simtools did not send the infos to the arduino, sometimes by restarting the pc, it works again, then if I cut simtools and I restart it, the engines no longer receive the info again.
    Thanks for your feedback.
