    I ran the default setting but again no result achieved. For your reference, the response of output testing with slider of game engine is attached below.

    During the running of dirt rally, the response of tuning centre is shown below.

    Since I am working on this last couple of days and no response of driver seat dynamics could be got.

    before you try the directions below you should confirm movement by briefly selecting SINE mode in the smc3 utility. If you have movement there then move to the next step.

    ok for udp pass thru with smc3 utility, start with the game engine/interface settings/interface type set as NETWORK
    then set the IP address according to the pc that is running the smc3 utility. even if it is only one computer it will work. use ipconfig to get your ip if you need to.
    then set the port number. the default that is also listed in your screenshot is port:20017
    10bit range

    you do not have smc3 set up properly. please go thru the smc3 setup again. until you get movement in smc3, simtools will not work.
    https://www.xsimulator.net/communit...3dof-motor-driver-and-windows-utilities.4957/

    the green line should chase/follow the blue one with corresponding motor movement when set up properly.

    i notice you are using smc3 version .6
    dload and use sketch version .7 in mode 2 if your using ibt-2 or without changes if your using monster moto on the arduino
    also in the second screenshot smc3 is not connected to a controller/arduino running the smc3 sketch. Please check that the comport is correct in the smc3 config and that the device is connected to the pc

    I performed as suggested but no response in seat dynamics once the dirt rally is connected and also output setting slider does not effect on the motors. In smc3 utility it is working. pls. find the screenshots below:

    I have taken the default setting of axis assignment.

    smc3 is still the wrong version, and is not tracking properly. i cannot help if you will not follow the steps set for you above.

    Sorry for inconvenience, I was my mistake as your email was in my junk email and I did not know how it was there. So I could not see it during interfacing.
    Anyway, I downloaded smc3 ver.0.7 and made mode2 as I am using ibt2 motor driver and following are the responses of motors:
    Motor1:

    upload_2018-4-15_2-51-32.png
    Motor2:

    upload_2018-4-15_2-51-56.png




    My setup is also attached for your reference. As I connected smc3 utility with game engine via network interface, I did not get any response in motors through output testing slider. Setting of game engine and smc3 utility are shown below:

    upload_2018-4-15_2-55-24.png
    Pls. suggest me further to make my model run.

    If this is running on a single PC then:

    Simtools Setup

    Setup for Simtools 2 is very straight forward:

    [A<Axis1a>][B<Axis2a>]

    Set for 10bit binary output

    Baud rate 500000 , N , 8 , 1 (10ms delay)

    It works with network interfacing in game engine via udp pass through and both motors operate through output testing with slider but as connected with dirt rally game, no response in motors. Pls. see the screenshot.
    Again the problem remains same.

    If a sim behaves correctly in output testing then the most common problem where the game is fully updated and supported by the plugin is a configuration issue.

    The patch path for Codemaster games is different, depending on it being a 32 or 64bit version of Windows: https://www.xsimulator.net/communit...-32-bit-install-path-for-motion-patching.260/

    Games should have been run before patching.
