    So I am new here and I have looked around but did not see the steps for adding a plugin to sim tools.

    I just downloaded a plug in for Elite Dangerous but do not know where to install it. It is in my Downloads folder and I did unzip it. Now what?

    Sorry for the stupid questions
    Noobs Geez :roll

    You don't need to unzip a plugin.

    Instead close SimTools, go to the Windows menu and find the SimTools folder in it and then open the SimTools PluginUpdater.

    Drag the plugin zip file on to the SimTools PluginUpdater and it will install.

    Close the SimTools PluginUpdater and restart SimTools.

    The plugin will now be in the Axis Assignment drop down and you can create an Axis Assignment for it.

    No, the demo version of SimTools only allows Live For Speed, which is included for testing purposes.

    A licensed version is required to run other plugins. Eligible DIY builders can apply for a free DIY license, conditions apply: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/request-a-free-diy-simtools-2-0-license.262/

    Or you can purchase a SimTools license: https://simtools.us/licenses/

    gentlemen, ladies,
    I have enjoyed using P3D V.4 on Windows 7 software for years.
    I fly in my self-built Flight Simulator. See my website www.ph-nic.eu
    I recently made a DIY Motion floor with 2 servo motors.
    These are controlled with Arduino-Uno, Simtools and Patch for connection to P3D. There is contact with the program but the movements are very minimal! I have enabled the "Allow Turbulence" option. I think I'm doing something wrong but can't figure out what. Not much to be found on the web.
    Can you help me.
    Yours sincerely,
    Nico Weesjes

    Can you please post pictures of all of your settings, including the Tuning Center while P3D is running.

    No @Nico Weesjes, I mean pictures of all of your SimTools settings, including the Tuning Center while P3D is running

    Thanks for your quick response, sorry for the misunderstanding!
    Are the accompanying images sufficient?
    Thank you very much for your support.

    OK, a couple of things, SMC3 needs to be fully sorted and working as expected before messing with SimTools, and by the looks of the green feedback line SMC3 settings likely needs some refinement.

    When it comes to SimTools why are you using so much Axis Limiting, is there a potential hardware damage related reason? If not then leave it at 100% as that will be greatly limiting the range of the hardware movement.

    Grab a copy of the SimTools manual and keep it handy for reference: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/rtfm-start-with-the-official-simtools-documentation.117/

    Once SMC3 is fully sorted see these tips for refining a motion profile: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/steps-to-create-a-motion-profile.228/

    For flight profiles you are correct in using large Axis Assignments, as other than for harsh aerobatics or a crash it is unlikely you will use the full allocation for all axis at the same time.

    With the Tuning Center the larger the value the slower and smoother the response, over a greater range, and the smaller the value the sharper the response nut over a smaller range.

    hello good night, for me to use other plugins i have to buy the package for example of € 29? and then i have to buy the simTools license to use? and that's exactly what to understand?

    I am using the translator

    SimTools (motion software) and Xsimulator.net (community and community developed plugins) are two different entities, see here for details: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/simtools-and-xsimulator-partnership-explained.275/

    You can buy SimTools: https://simtools.us/licenses/

    But there is also free DIY SimTools license applications available to eligible members: https://www.xsimulator.net/request-diy-key-simtools/

    Plugin access is either by paid membership or via community activity coins, see here for details: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/coins-and-how-to-download-plugins.2/
