    Use the smc3 utility to make sure the feedback is correct

    The pots should be attached to the motor, as they provide positional feedback.

    SMC3 also needs to be properly configured, including clip and max limits: https://www.xsimulator.net/communit...driver-and-windows-utilities.4957/#post-48121

    thanks noorbeast , now is better but now i need to calibrate the motor , i've tried in Sps code to change Cuttofflimitmax but that dont resolve my problem .

    to center my motor to a position do i need to do it manualy ? or i can edit SpS code for setting a special position?

    My max limit and center and minimum limite are in 45 degrees not 360

    I am not sure what you mean but the pot does need to be manually set to the middle position in SMC3 then it can be attached to the motor.

    Again without context, such as pictures of all of your SMC3 settings and rig, along with pictures of all SimTools settings and any game motion profiles, it is hard to grasp what you actually mean.
