    Hi

    I want to introduce my DIY simulator that I want to use for flying and driving.
    The frame is made of stainless material. but not intentionally, it's just workplace residue

    After reading the Tutorials and choosing the sympathetic simulator type for me, I also ordered the electrical parts


    - Arduino Uno
    -2x IBT2 48A Boards
    - 10K Pots
    -2x 12V 30A LED Power Supply


    Here's a picture of how it looks put together, but without electronics

    But the joy is not yet complete, as there are serious problems.

    Everything works fine in the SMC3 Program during tests

    In the SIMTOOLS GAME ENGINE the on the AXIS test if i press Turn ON it does not stay centered but it drops the axis by about 10 degrees DOWN.

    When I move the slides, the axes move in the right direction ,however, they are not in a continous motion but bounces and dithers

    After I reinstalled Simtools 2.4 and configured the interface settings, the problem persisted and now I'm pretty clueless about what to do

    it is almost certainly the cause of something small but I do not know what

    You can't run the SMC3 utility and SimTools at the same time, as it seems to be in your video, as it will cause a port conflict.

    They running not in the same time. I quit SMC3 and then run Simtools. U see in the background an opened window from the Simtools Tutorial.
    I will try the same setup with an other Pc to see what happens

    In that case I suspect you need to refine your SMC3 settings further, including deadzone.

    I found the error ...

    So the point is to set the local setting to English in my case this caused the simulator to behave strangely
    Everything is working right now, I've done my first laps in Life 4 Speed, now without any load

    @yobuddy thought he had squashed that particular bug in the latest SimTools, but apparently not, so will likely have to hunt it down a bit more when he has a chance :(

    What language setting did it happen with?
