    ok , merci beaucoup, je vais essayer demain . :clap:
    pour ce qui est de la matrice , y a t'il un réglage particulier pour un Frex design avec seulement 2 distributeur?

    merci de ton aide

    Oui, il y a un file proprietairement pour simulateurs a manière de frex. J'ai configuré une matrix pour distributeures 5/3. Je la cherche à demain...

    bonne nuit

    ça fonctionne maintenant.
    il me reste a comprendre le force profiler et surtout comment régler la partie 2:

    2. Here you can add effects that you want to be used with your simulator by clicking the right mouse button. Available are g-effects, collision effects, afterburner effects and effects by pressing joystick-buttons or gear changes.

    je n'ai pas encore tout compris.

    si tu as la matrice pour 2 distributeurs 5/3 c'est super cool, je vais gagner du temps! ( j'en ai que 2 pour le moment, j'en mettrai 4 plus tard...)

    merci de l'aide

    i need your help for my valve matrice (2 distibutors 5/3 ,one distibutor by actuator ),!!!
    have found it again ?
    please post me the matrice, i very in a hurry to use my simulator;D

    hello

    voila quelques nouvelles.
    j'ai pas eu beaucoup de temps pour faire avancer le simu.
    j'ai fabriqué des potentiomètres a ficelle; car le système de tringlerie avec les potentiomètre rectiligne ne me convenais pas.
    je vais bientot faire les essais
    j'ai aussi un nouvel écran 28 Hanns vraiment top

    some news:
    I have not had much time to advance the simulation.
    I made a string potentiometers, because the system of linkage with the knob straight does not work.
    I will soon be testing
    I also have a new screen 28 Hanns ,really top
    i send somes picture to my simulator:

    Nice Work Riton i found this site a while back good to know this method works 8) <a class=postlink href=http://www.cadsoftusa.com/people/kls/fltsim/extension.htm target=_blank>http://www.cadsoftusa.com/people/kls/fl ... ension.htm</a> love what you have done on your design its easier to make your version without special tools :cheers: Great project My Man

    I tested my simulator with GTR2

    I have some problem, I did my calibration, it works well, front / rear / left / right.
    soft knobs reversed.

    the red dot that outlines the position of simu remains in the top right, strange, rest my simu remains forward, the weight is naturally look ahead, so why is it up right? it will be centered at the top ....?

    Then, I would center on the horizontal position, how?

    in terms of test games, I would say that the bottom is still necessary to resolve these problems before drawing a conclusion ....


    j'ai testé mon simulateur avec GTR2

    j'ai quelques problème, je fait ma calibration, ça marche bien , avant/arrière/gauche /droite.
    le soft a inversé des potentiomètres.

    le point rouge qui schématise la position du simu reste en haut a droite, étrange, au repos mon simu reste vers l'avant, le poid le fait naturellement pencher devant , alors pourquoi le point est il en haut a droite?? il devrai être centré en haut ....?

    ensuite, j'aimerai qu'il ce centre sur la position horizontal, comment faire??

    pour ce qui est du test en jeux, bas je dirai qu'il faut encore régler ces problème avant de tirer une conclusion....

    I reversed the knobs to make it correct.
    I always against by the position of simu up on the left, I do not know why?

    I need your help to improve my settings

    how to make the move in simu ON / OFF

    I must activate the mod pulse?
    and adjust the matrix was the same for each speed?
    how to reduce the race cylinders in the software X SIM?

    I only have 2 distributors.

    thank you very much

    it's linear pot. i buy 4 linear potentiometer.

    I made another esais:
    I had my calibration, I think that's good.
    the blue dot that moves left, right ...
    and the red dot in the center comes, it's normal?
    I guess that's good.

    Then when I start with the sender force pluging I have the impression that the data are not sent.
    I have nothing that appears in focus in the profiler.


    it's not easy ...

    i use this to connect my pot:
    <a class=postlink-local href=http://www.x-simulator.de/forum/uploader/pool/VM11_Poti_Anschluss2.JPG target=_blank>uploader/pool/VM11_Poti_Anschluss2.JPG</a> target=_blank target=_blank

    my pots is ok i test with a ohm meter;
    and in the profiler i see somes value 126/-126 for x and y.

    in the logo bar i see the ip adress, i think it's ok, but in the target i can't see the dot red or bleu moving.

    i don't speak very good , it's difficult for me to understand tecnical vocabulary.

    the problem is that I do not know if my simulator running normally or not.
    I'll try to make a video of the operation, this might be easier.

    I think I explained poorly.
    the value of pot moving in X SIM ( bottom rigth) I see the values move in the mini /max when I move knob with my hand.

    I installed and tested the knob with the software Velleman, I have my 2 values ranging up to about 255.

    I force profiler 1.8, it's good?

    I just focus a problem for my sim, it seems to me that there is something dysfunctional, may be my matrix? I do not know ...

    i don't understand this:
    If you use a frex design, you have to exchange that word by left actuator up/down and right actuator up/down.
    You are not able to move in the direction that are shown in a frex design. (45° rotated)
    Use up/down to move actuator 1 and left/right for actuator 2 .


    i make a video too the calibration:

    http://fr.youtube.com/watch?v=eZuIp27d9iY

    on the first picture, I made a diagram of cylinders, distributors, and the position of the actuators.
    I have made for a 1: enable
    and 0 to disable

    I think I found part of my problem.
    I reversed the left and right, may be forward / backward. I'm going to test tonight.

    I have reversed my matrix, I tried many things, but it does not.
    I must be in the wrong direction.

    in fact I do not know how to operate in sumu games.
    my calibration is good I think.
    but at the end of the simulation, the simulator that it should focus?

    I start the game then I start with the force sender plugin GTR2, the plugin displays the speed and gear, it also displays online, I think that's good.

    in force profiler , the simulation does not move.
    the blue dot is not moving.

    thank you for your help.

    hello
    I tried again today, but I do not move my simulator.

    I think my calibration is good, I think that my matrix is good.
    my conection is good too, my IP is displayed.

    but I do not have a value of speed or axis, the blue dot does not move, I have no target values

    is there a video that shows how to start all step by step? It will allow me to see my error

    I need some information on software:
    PC game: If I use the pluging games (ex GTR2) I do not need to yoda?
    I start force sender + pluging and it's good.

    PC simulator:
    I run force profiler and remote yoda?
    Yoda this remote does not connect, I met what IP address at the bottom?
    i have somes problem to configure the soft
    thank you for your support.

    I followed this procedure:
    <a class=postlink href=http://www.x-simulator.de/main/en/force-sender/gtr-2.html target=_blank>http://www.x-simulator.de/main/en/force ... gtr-2.html</a> target=_blank
    and i use this profile:
    <a class=postlink-local href=http://www.x-simulator.de/forum/gtr2-t863.html target=_blank>gtr2-t863.html</a> target=_blank
    I have the info in the plugin GTR2, but the blue dot is not moving.
    I only have 2 values which moves in the window of the value of force profiler plugin
    when i click right and I have added new value , that's made a move, but I do not know why.
    the problem is the effect to apply.

    why nothing moves? in the target remains at 0 there are a problem with the effect?

    I tried today with other games, but nothing works.
    I think this is a X Sim configuration problem
    I'm really bad!

    I found the solution, I made a profoile and it works.

    but I have a problem centering simu
    calibration works well, but the simulator is in the bottom right.
    if I move the simulator in hand, the center in the middle
    what is this problem?

    i see this post :
    <a class=postlink-local href=http://www.x-simulator.de/forum/problem-calibation-with-frex-design-t1051.html target=_blank>problem-calibation-with-frex-design-t1051.html</a> target=_blank target=_blank
    but i don't understand how to solve my problem, the matrix?
    my matrice with this hardware config:
