    I can get any motion with this plugin. What can I do to make it work?

    Hi. Thanks for your advices. I have set the min and max parameters in the tuning center and it works. Thanks again, this game is awesome in dynamics.

    Any examples of decent tuning center values?

    Hi Guys,

    I just setup the profile for this game but after hours fiddling around i still have three issues that baffle me!

    First one is that i had to reverse/tick the DIR option is axis assignments for Extra1 (Traction Loss) as it was drifting in the worng direction. All other games don't require this. Its not much of an issue as its working but still confuses me as to why its so - only in this game!

    The one that is REALLY annoying me is that the game seems to register accelleration etc as surge as opposed to pitch, so if i reduce the numbers for surge in tuning center - to feel the gear shift i end up with the rig pointing upwards, irrelevant of what i set in pitch.
    I have confirmed this with output testing because as soon as i press on the gas, surge shoots up, in other games its mainly pitch which responds. Due to this i cant find a good balance where i can get the surge when shifting gears and at the same time not look at the ceiling when i press the gas :)

    The third issue is that heave does not really have any fine details at all.... if i crash or go over a bump i feel them perfectly but detail in tarmac and apexes is not really noticable.

    Would apriciate if you could let me know how you got around this and if it was an issue with your profile as well.

    It is normal to use surge to simulate acceleration and braking on a 2DOF and pitch to simulate going up and down hills, though both do use the same axis SimTools mixes them on the fly.

    The important things is to initially configure each axis individually, before activating them all and doing final tweaking, see the tips here: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/steps-to-create-a-motion-profile.228/

    To get more detail with heave, you can adjust the tuning center heave values to less than 1, i.e. try 0.5. Use this in conjunction with the SimTools percentages to get a good feel with out rattling out your teeth.

    Alternatively, raising the percentages will allow you to get fine detail for the tarmac and a bigger movement in a crash or cutting over a kerb. (You may still need to lower the Tuning center value a little). This will cause motion clipping in a crash, but that's OK.

    Yesterday, I opened up Sim Tools/Game Manager for the first time in a while, and for some odd reason my AMS2 patch was gone. It has probably been a few months since I’ve played the sim, but it was certainly patched and working great a few months ago. While annoying, It’s not a big deal to redownload the plug-in, except now it’s not showing as available to me despite having already downloaded it in the past. Can anyone help with this?

    Thanks! For some reason, I didn't see this option when browsing, and only saw the upgrades paid for in EUR. I am still curious why my AMS2 plugin disappeared from Sim Tools, but not all that important since I can replace it without spending fiat currency.

    Are you running a licensed version of SimTools that has been registered?

    Have you tried running the PluginUpdater as admin?

    You could also try temporarily turning off your firewall and antivirus to see if either are messing with the install, as SimTools can trigger false positives, given the nature of how it works: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/marketplace/motion-simulation-software-simtools.63/

    Have you completed all the required configuration:

    How to activate AMS2 telemetry output:
    ❉ In steam add the launch option "-ui:pcars" this will allow you to enable UDP and SharedMemory. Its using the exact same data output as PCars2 for shared memory.
    ❉ once you have enabled shared memory in the system setting using the pcars ui you can then delete -ui: pcars from the launch options in steam to return to the AMS2 ui
    ❉ Also the max min settings in the Tuning Center.

    I added the option in steam>library>property>general> launch options>-u i : p c a r s
    but dosen't work.

    must it also launch pcars 2 for enabled shared memory in the system setting using the pcars 2 for it work ? because i have delete it.
