    Then in my view you have it spot on, sorry I can't test as my sim is setup for beta testing.

    That's no problem @noorbeast. It seems a lot of the more active members have moved on to SimTools 2.0 Beta.

    @Adrianstealth is the only person to have graciously provide feedback so far. Guys if any of you have tested then please let me know how it works. My own setup isn't ready to test this yet so I'm depending on you for feedback.

    @RiftFlyer, I'd like to test both of your plugins. It may not be for a little while as I've been away for a number of months and need to sort out some functional issues with my rig which has been sitting around.

    So if I understand correctly the initial plugin which is linked to your first post uses roll rate not roll position. As you accelerate around the X-axis in a right roll the platform rolls right correspondingly to how hard the roll was/is initiated. Stop the roll in some position, say aircraft banked right 45 degrees, and the platform will level back to horizontal. @noorbeast I know really liked this setup in other sims.

    For the second plugin, please see image below and let me know if this is how you've got it set up. You removed the link for this one correct? Could you email it to me if I PM you my email contact? Thanks!

    @boosted-lt1 the descriptions you've given for both versions are correct. I'll post the second version again when I get a chance. Adrian was to test it but I haven't heard back from him. I should find some time over the next few days to dig out the laptop and attach the second plugin here.

    Sorry been busy on other projects and had not received any feedback here. I've replied to the threads on dcs forums and can integrate mrsparks code for the alternative roll output if he agrees.

    Hi!
    Thanks for the plugin!
    I wanted to run the game with the plugin in table model 2DOF on the basis of RC servos.
    But servos do not work.
    In LFS work without problems.
    Tell me, please, what's the problem?

    RC servos only move when you move the sliders "Axis1", "Axis2".
    When you start the game "Axis output" changed to "DOF output".
    RC servos do not work :(
