    Hello,
    can you tell us the solution please ?

    I have the same problem. Motors are not working on Output Testing with Game Engine.

    Motors are working with SMC3 with PWMmax over 60

    Thank you.

    @Outatime these configurations are for all codes and interfaces, it's a basic setup. SMC3 is NOT for @RacingMat code

    Yes the Virtual Axis works while the game is running and it is handy to make sure you have telemetry, the relative strength of the forces and which way they are going.

    ok so I got it, now, iRacing for me just does not have that same feeling that other titles do. I have tried to make adjustments to both max and min manually. I thought perhaps I had some of my axis reversed.

    When I look at sway and roll, the sliders are going in opposite directions. I would assume that these should somewhat follow each other. Any help here?

    Hi
    I now know what i was doing wrong & slider output test not working because i went back to my tower pc , reinstalled sim tools +arduino + racingmat code and it did again on one axis , what i was doing wrong when typing interface output <L<Axis1>R<Axis2> i added a space between the word Axis and the number , what a silly mistake.
