    Do you have a firewall on your computer (all windows systems have one and I think it is on by default)? It might be blocking the connection between simtools and war thunder. try disabling it and see if that helps.

    Edit: just read through the posts and it seems like you have allready tested this.

    Good evening dears!
    Im a recent buyer of NJMotion SV2 (2DoF) and Im reeeaaally happy and impressed with this motion platform built by @NjMotion! Tottally a proffesional work and very good feelings.

    Well.. After I installed a few plugins (projectcars, rollercoaster, nfs, iracing..) without any issue, I tryed to install plugin of Warathunder (following same steps as previous plugins) but, however, WarThunder does not appear in my Plugin list of Simtools..

    Im using last version of Simtools installed 2 weeks ago.. Run as admin, Professional version. Windows 10..

    Dou you know what could be the problem?

    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Sorry... Just found where is the mistake... (im noob also in Simtools as you can see.. :)

    I installed the wrong plugin.. ( War Thunder Plugin 2.0.0.0) instead of this one.. and Im just realized about that... Now War Thunder already appears in my Game Manager!

    Best regards

    Hi Guys,

    VERY strange here...War Thunder plugin doesn't work with simtools to me. All other plugins working as well, I tried to change the local lang. settings, if I
    change it to US English, at hangar of the game a bit of heave exist, nothing else, and in the game still nothing. BUT...All other plugins, like joystick plugin also
    going wrong with strange movements with US. english local settings. If I change back to my lang., it is working well with the other plugins
    as before..... War Thunder doesn't work with any lang. setups..

    Any ideas?
    George,

    It would help if you post pictures of all of your settings and a description of what you have or have not done, like capture Min/Max values in the Tuning Center.

    noorbeast,

    Ok, here are my settings:

    [​IMG]

    I have installed War Thunder plugin is v2.1.0.3. At tuning center seems to be nothing to capture as at output testing/virtual axis
    also no datas.
    If I change my local settings to USA english, all of my previous plugins working bad, resulting -strange movements,
    but War thunder plugins still not working. If I change back local to my lang, simtools and the other plugins
    working well, as before.
    Another strange thing: Now I'm using simtools 2.0. If I update simtools to v2.1, the same issue detected, so strange movements with plugins
    and with output testing/manual axis testing also. downgrading back to 2.0 resulting working well as before. but still no War Thunder movements.

    Any ideas???

    Thanx,
    George

    Are you running a firewall?
    Maybe the info is getting blocked?
    When you run war thunder (without SimTools), if you navigate to http://127.0.0.1:8111/ with your browser, do you see anything?
    From reading the thread a bit, it looks like we should be able to.

    yobuddy,

    Yes, on http://127.0.0.1:8111/ address I can see the all the datas coming from the game. I have AVG running in background, I have also tried
    to kill it, with no success, the plugin still not working. My firewall is totally turned off.

    Is it AVG free or the Internet security version?

    I really think that when the plugin goes to fetch the data it is getting blocked.
    And therefore it is crashing.
    You say you have other games working, so I don't think its SimTools itself.
    I think something is blocking it from retrieving the data it needs.

    I don't believe avg really ever turns off, even if set to off.
    It would be worth a try to uninstall avg and see if it works.
    It's dead simple to reinstall avg if it doesn't.

    I do use avg also thou, and I haven't seen anything getting blocked.
    The Internet security version is horrible thou lol.
    It blocks all kinds of stuff it should not.

    Take care,
    yobuddy

    Hi guys.

    First, big thanx to try to solve my problem!

    yobuddy,

    I have done that you suggested, uninstalled AVG free with your uninstaller, as everything has gone from the registry also.
    I have also turned off windows firewall totally. No changes, still not working. I tried to change local settings to US, resulted the same as before,
    strange movements as one motor gone 20% right (as with simtools 2.1), but still not working with the plugin.
    I have downgraded back to 2.0. Then I have tried to start the game in non VR mode also, -'coz in Elite Dangerous we have to
    use different plugins for VR, and non-VR versions- no success. It doesn't want to work in any modes.

    This plugin would be greatly improved with a few changes, yaw would be better if it was linked to the compass value, you could then assign turn to Extra3.

    Extra1 and 2 should be renamed, since they're not aviahorizon_roll or aviahorizon_pitch.

    Extra2 is linked to Elevator, which means even stationary on the ground you'll get unwanted movement, it would be much better to use AoA, deg. The game cockpit should move your sim cockpit, not the joystick.

    Surge is all over the place, I'm not sure where you got that value from, but it jumps from the center to it's regular value too much to be useful.

    I assume Sway is on the AoS. deg value... using bank would be much better since it starts at a 78 on the ground when you're not moving and as soon as you move it drops to the middle.

    I don't really want to re-write the plugin, but if I did I would use the following :

    pitch : aviahorizon_pitch
    roll : aviahorizon_roll
    heave : vario
    yaw : compass
    surge : speed-previous speed (with the zero value removed)
    sway : bank
    extra1 : Wx, deg (roll not linked to joystick)
    extra2 : A0A, deg (pitch not linked to joystick)
    extra3 : turn

    I'd love it if you found some time to make an update since WT is top of my sim games to play but I'm pretty busy these days.....

    Having a problem with axis values.
    there is no signal of roll and pitch.
    and i found that if I try to roll, yaw axis moves...:(
