    Hi.
    I hope I got it.
    I re-soldered the pots. Now each motor works, even if the red lines just give me a very smal range.
    More tests are following.
    Thanks
    Martin

    Hi.
    Here is my update:
    Motors are running with SMC3. But some way strange.
    Motor 1 starts with enormous spinn and sotops ´cause of overturning.
    Motor 2 works but the feedbackline ist strange (see pic) and the Motor shakes during the movement.
    Hope i can get a Video tomorrow.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Martin

    Hi @all
    Some update on my Seat:
    In winutil everything works fine.
    In Simtools manual slidermovement moves the Motors.
    BUT: If I start LFS to Test nothing happens. I Set Up everything along quickstart Guide. I turn on virtual Axis, start the Game and..... Nothing!
    What do I forget?
    Is there Something to be set in the Game?
    Thanks Martin

    Please post your SimTools Interface and Axis Assignment settings.

    LFS also needs to be run for a couple of laps before it is patched for motion. So if you had not run it then unpatch LFS, run some laps and then repatch.

    If output testing works does Game Manager turn blue while LFS is running?

    If so then unpatch LFS, run some laps and then repatch.

    Have you got SMC3 working correctly?

    Yes. Both Motors are moving. The green line follows the blue one.
    In LFS i drove a 3 lap test. Is this enough?

    What mode are you doing the LFS laps in? Try first person hot lapping.

    What antivirus is running, because if SMC3 and Output Testing both work something is stopping SimTools communication with LFS?

    Hi,
    Yesterday I had a breakthrough with F1 2017 Plugin.
    Sliders in virtual axis are moving in smal amounts while driving.
    Best time I ll connect the motors dir testing.
    Thanks für your help noorbeast

    Hi everyone,
    I tested everything some laps in F12017.
    The only movement i get is when i Break some Motion to the left side down. Hope you can imagin what i mean.
    I did my setup like in the tutorials to create a motion profile.
    No other motions are there.
    Hope.you can help me.
    Thanks Martin

    Hi,
    Yes I did study that. But how can i manually set the values? There are these colored flags above the captured values. Have they have to be red für Manual setting?
    I also tryed to set surge, roll anderen so on in the Axis settings. But the same effect. Just one movement while breaking. Every time I hit the peddal the seat moves to the left side?!
    Thanks Martin

    Hi,
    some updates today.
    I played arround with ayis assignment and tuningcenter. One time when i tried to test surge, like in the tutorials described it worked fine. Then i moved on to Sway and suddenly everything went wrong.
    In the virtual axis window each slider flipped arround crazy. The axis Sliders jumped from lets say 1cm left to suddenly 1 cm Right. The Sway slider jumped from -100 to +100.
    This goes some secunds and then my motors shut off. When i turn the 12 V swith from my PSU off an on again the same procedure starts again.

    In SMC Util everything works fine!

    So gentlemen I hope you havesome ideas für solving my Problems. I don´t get it.
    Thanks
    MArtin

    Hi,
    Yes I did.
    Gamedata ist flickering around.
    Sliders seam to be out of control.
    In General my values of captured are Low.
    Surge for example ist max 4.12 and min -1.2
