    Hello,

    why we don't have Lateral force, Vertical force, Longitudinal force input like in X-sim? I have not the same feeling.

    I tried to download Sim tools but it will not download. Does anyone have a copy of it they could email to me?

    Hmm...download link is working for me on three different computers.

    Did you go to this page?

    http://www.xsimulator.net/community/marketplace/simtools-v1-0.63/

    In the upper right corner is a big orange button that says "Download Now 3.5mb .zip"

    Let us know if that button is not working and what error message you get if it is not.

    Yobuddy,

    New SimTools is great, so much easier and straight forward, really like it so far (1 day of use)! :)

    Ref. to my post here: http://www.xsimulator.net/community...ion-to-x-sim-new-updated-way.4946/#post-48224

    I would like to suggest that we should be able to see and edit the SCN actuator ID inside the Game Engine / Interface Settings.
    I had problems and I believe everybody coming from a Frex system will have too as each actuator will come with different IDs, 0 and 1 probably.

    Thanks!

    Hi @MasterYoda,

    This is a great idea, but I don't have a SCN to test with, as my buddy with them moved to a different state.

    I believe the SCN PC tool has this capability thou, could you take a look?

    Thanks buddy!

    Long time ago we chipped in to buy a SCN5 for development... Not sure if it is still around and working, tho.

    I believe the SCN PC tool might do the trick, but it didn't install here, not sure if W8 or some other issue.
    I still think using an old xSim might be easier and safier, to not mess up with other settings... :)

    Thanks.

    No one with a K8055 sim and vb net experience has picked up the challenge.
    I would upgrade to a Ard UNO and use the firmwares here to bring you sim into the future.
    What H Bridge are you using.?

    Bugger, No one has released a working code for the sabertooth to be connected to an Ard, only the SimAxe controller has this capabilities.
    I know a few guys have been working on the Kangaroo from Dimension Engineering which is designed to run the Sabertooth, could check they're posts for info.

    I apologize but I use the automatic translator and sometimes it is difficult comprendere.Volevo ask at this point if I buy an Arduino ver.3 one can go well with sabertoot 2 x 12 and finally use simtools?


    chiedo scusa ma uso il traduttore automatico e a volte è difficile comprendere.
    Volevo chiedere a questo punto se compro un arduino uno ver.3 può andare bene con sabertoot 2 x 12 e utilizzare finalmente simtools?

    Try using Sway and Surge rather than Pitch and Roll and you should be ok.
    when you use 2 DOF's per axis set both entries to 60%
    What type of Sim do you have?
    if it's a seat mover one of the rolls needs a dir change

    Why are you using what looks to be an AMC?
    What changes are you refereing to?
    Otherwise looks fine, considering its wipers, perhaps space them out more ot rick chewing them out. If they nuke themselves, use big 12v worm gear motors

    Heavy frame and very weak and slow motors dont help.
    Try lowering the values in the Tuning centre for the game. Ones shipped in plugins are a bit high, done for safety of ones machine.

    ? What is the controller.
    ? What are you using in Axis Assignments and game.
