    Do you have the source code for the program the Arduino is running? There was another guy here who had what sounds like a similar issue in his wind Arduino. Turned out his system was especially sensitive to the input routine in the Arduino.

    The code in this post fixed it for him. With the source code for yours you could adapt what I did here into it. Can’t say that this is your issue but it could be something about USB now may be interacting with the way the original routine handled input. Your symptoms at least sound similar. If you look a few posts before this one you can see how he described his symptoms and see if this might be worth pursuing.

    Armin, you mean substituting the input routine for the one in your code fixed the issue?

    Exactly. It wasnt the one from this forum but on virtualracing.org there is on the forum a thread with a code for this, just replaced it and it worked! Had a race yesterday for about an hour everything worked fine!

    Hey Armin, that’s great! Glad it helped!

    Would you mind posting the input routine as you used in the belt tightener program?

    Are you using Sim Tools and Game Dash or just Sim Tools?

    I'm asking because I’m working on another issue. Thanks!

    Hey, yeah sure. Sorry for the late reply

    We used this file
    RC Model Code for Arduino UNO - 2DOF - Expandable 2.0
    From this forum
    And the rc modelsimtoolsmode.ino in the .rar

    Check that you have the axis settings saved under assetto corsa competizione and not just the default game profile.

    Click on Axis assignments on the left and you should be able to select assetto corsa competizione under the Game list via the drop down. The Output testing only checks the default profile.

    The only other thing I can think of is to try un-patching and then re-patching the game.

    Yep, thats it. I opened the folder with the plugin and put it in the plugin updater. And didnt put the whole folder in plugin updater. Had to read the manual to learn it. Sorry my bad.
