    i experience mainly in lfs sometimes in other sim a stop of one of my actuator (seat is crooked) . I thought it was linked to my slipro but it seems not.

    i have to reinitialise my actuators by closing the profiler and reopening the profiler. Power supply in a 1000 watt . The ampers for the actiators is 5.2 amp.

    is this a bug in the x-sim software or my hardware is defective. anybody has experienced this?


    thanks

    Hello aikuo60, thanks for the info. In fact, I believe the config is a part of the problem . I moved the base or my seat 1 inch back , motion seems to be improved that would explain that one episode in gtr2 where one of the actuators got stuck.
    Now, the problem happens almost every time in lfs. My sli-pro works closely in concert with x-sim. a proxy is used to send the data . motion data goes , I believe through the sli-pro. I believe my sli-pro is defective (or bug in the proxy). In fact my sli pro works only with a powered usb hub witch is weird . I also made quite a bit of test without sli-pro without incident. i sent an email to Mr Leo Bordnar for a return (supplier of the sli-pro).

    thanks again for the link that was helful

    You might be right about the timing after all . I did not check the switches with DTR and RTS boxes in my previous tests

    thanks
