    Try changing BitsPerSec to 500000

    You only have one axis configured in Interface Settings and two in Axis Assignments. Sway would also normally have one DIR checked orange and should lean away from a corner.

    Can you also confirm that SM3 it properly configured and works as expected.

    Comm port used for the Arduino is 7 for SMC3, but 3 in SimTools Interface Setting, only one of those can be correct, if SMC3 works as expected change the SimTools Interface settings to Com 7.

    Make sure you do not run SMC3 and SimTools at the same time, it will create a port conflict.

    It is hard to help if you are not posting your actual settings.

    Can you please start again and post a picture demonstrating SMC3 is working as expected.

    Please post a picture of your actual Interface settings.

    Please post a picture of your actual Default configured Axis Assignments.

    SimTools first needs to respond as expected in Output Settings before messing with any game.
