    Hi guys,
    I maybe totally ignorant or just missing something. I finished testing all 6 motors with SimTools, Set the percentages for Pitch, Yaw, Roll.
    How do I launch a game?
    I downloaded the free LoveForSpeed and also have the free version of Asetto Corsa. However, is there a setting I am missing to actually drive the motors during the game?
    Thank you,

    Hi, using the Output Testing on SimTools, I can see that all my motors are working with the DOF function. However, I am not sure how I can get LFS to work at least. My ultimate goal is to use this for Star Wars Squadrons or Elite Dangerous.

    If Output Testing works then it is likely a configuration issue.

    As previously mentioned LFS has to be run before it is patched for motion: https://www.xsimulator.net/communit...run-in-first-person-mode-before-patching.365/

    If that was not done then please unpatch LFS, run LFS as prescribed, and then repatch and report the results.

    Elite Dangerous is a bit more complicated to set up, but in the first instance it is important to confirm LFS works, as the default telemetry/profile configuration.
