    It will take a little bit, because I have long worked with x-sim. But what concrete settings?

    first: USO settings
    next: what kind of effects you're using

    This is my USO settings. I do not know what datapacket where I enter, but the platform with 6 servos works well.
    Effects: 1. PITCH
    2. YAW
    3. BANK
    4. VERTICAL VELOCITY
    5. SLIP BALL VALUE
    6. TRUE AIR ACCELER.

    That's about half the information needed, the important ones are totally blank ie the datapacket statements.
    So it receiving a 16bit number on a 8bit output, lol.

    Ok for SimTools with the information provided so far the interface setting needs to be
    ComPort - the port its connected too - COM5
    BitsPerSec - 115200
    Data Bits - 8
    Parity - None
    Stop Bits - 1
    Output - Bit Range - 16
    Output - Type - Binary
    Startup Output - nothing provided ?
    Interface - Output - nothing provided ?
    Shutdown - Output - nothing provided ?

    Axis Assignments well you need to set 6 axis for 6DOF. Plenty of info on site for them.

    So we still need to know: Startup Output, Interface - Output, Shutdown - Output Am I right?

    Yes, even ask original producer he pops in here now and again to gloat and disappears again. At least he say hello.

    Hmm.... Why are you using USO still? There is plugin for the AMC1280USB... at least for x-sim:
    http://motionsim.blogspot.com/2013/05/6dof-software-plugin-for-x-sim3-is.html

    The plugin autodetects speed/comport/version/number of motors....


    If you want to hack your way to simtools using the AMC1280USB for 6DOF, read here this thread:
