    As we know, we can use <Axis1a> to output one axis data, but how to output attitude and acceleration data (roll,pitch,yaw,sway,surge,heave) ?

    First grab a copy of the SimTools manual and keep it handy for reference: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/rtfm-start-with-the-official-simtools-documentation.117/

    Also see the SimTools section of the FAQs: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/simtools-settings-tips-and-tricks.18/category

    Before messing with any game ensure Interface Settings are correct and a properly configured Axis Assignment is set, that is what defines roll, pitch, yaw, sway, surge, heave. The Default profile can be tested in Output Testing and this is what SimTools expects in terms of axis configuration: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/which-way-to-set-simtool-axis-movements.230/

    Once a properly configured Default profile is verified in Output Testing it can be cloned and tweaked for other games.

    LFS must be run before patching it for motion: https://www.xsimulator.net/communit...run-in-first-person-mode-before-patching.365/

    Then see the tips for refining a motion profile: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/steps-to-create-a-motion-profile.228/
