    I've set up smc3's axis assignments and interface settings. However, it's not outputing to SMC3?

    Use 10ms as your Output Rate in Interface Settings.

    Create a Default profile in Axis Assignments and test in Output Settings.

    LFS need to have been run before patching for motion, as that generates some required files: https://www.xsimulator.net/communit...run-in-first-person-mode-before-patching.345/

    As an aside you Axis Allocation % total is going to be too high once all axis are included (roll, pitch, sway, heave, surge): https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/axis-assignment-percentage-totals.120/

    See the motion profile refinement tips and tricks in the FAQ: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/steps-to-create-a-motion-profile.228/

    You can also grab a copy of the SimTools manual: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/rtfm-start-with-the-official-simtools-documentation.117/
