    Looks like Motors 1 and 2 are Off and Motor 3 On.

    I am not sure I know what you mean, can you please explain further? Are you having difficulty navigating the LFS game menus, or setting LFS up for motion?

    You do need to run LFS before patching it for motion: https://www.xsimulator.net/communit...run-in-first-person-mode-before-patching.365/

    -if 3 motors have such cardan joints in the article, will there be axis "heavy" in simtool? 3 motors will not be able to go up and down at the same time.
    -i am testing 1 spring inner core has damaged no oil inside to go up and down gently but the upper iron frame is tilted by rotuyn joints. Should I try 4 cores mounted below the cardan joint?
    - I use Google translate. hope you will understand

    The motors and gear ratio are adequate to the design task.

    By that I mean the motors can't be back driven when unpowered, that means the gear ratio is such that the motors can't be rotated when unpowered.

    The motors also have to be adequately powerful to dive the rig under load.

    Is it a USB disconnect or something else?

    Perhaps use Event Viewer to check the Windows event logs.

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

    The fully functional LFS plugin is packaged with Simtools, specifically for testing purposes, you don't need to do anything else.
