    Hey Everyone. Thank you for taking the time to field this question. I’m new to the VR community and given my limited knowledge of VR I am having challenges getting the Yaw VR motion platform to respond to the simtools software, or any software for that matter. The motion platform is connected to the Yaw VR control interface and is responding to that. It does seem to work with the Yaw software but not very well so I decided to install Simtools for the ability to customize the setting to improve the experience. I believe I’ve done most everything laid out in the instructions and followed the Yaw instructions for the appropriate settings and I can’t seem to get the motion simulator to respond. I’ve installed Simtools and believe I have the correct settings, and can see that the game is connected to the Simtools Game engine but the motion platform is not responding to any testing. I don’t know if this is enough information to diagnose an issue but hopefully start. Thank you in advance!

    There is a simtools section at the YawVR discord where I could walk you through the setup and how it works. If you could post the simtools interface settings we could start there, but it could be any of a number of reasons if you aren't familiar with simtools. First thing to do is set it up properly then try the axis testing. Once we have the axis testing working then try a game plugin.
