    Last September I posted for some help on a Maxflight Simulator that I bought (http://www.xsimulator.net/community...xflight-simulator-need-some-help-thanks.7369/), since then I've gotten a lot done and the unit is now ridable! However I have an issue that I believe is due to limitations with the Simtools software. If you've never seen what a maxflight simulator is I would suggest watching a youtube video on one as they are pretty amazing.
    The issue I'm having is that Simtools doesn't have support for 360 degree rotation even though the simulator is capable of it. So my question is, would it be possible to get 360 degree rotation through simtools or is there another software that supports it? I would prefer to stick with simtools as I know the interface and it is already set up. A couple things worth noting is that it is controlled through arduinos as it was the easiest solution for controlling the valves. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

    I believe the problem is with your arduino, as it is the controller in your sim, and it knows nothing about rollover.
    Remember SimTools just tells your interface where to go, its up to your interface to actually move your sim to the right spot.
