    The matrix setup depends on the type and number of valves you are using.

    Tell me some more about the valves and your setup.

    BTW, the Profiler matrix is not a problem. Build your sim and collect all neccessary parts and we help you then.

    regards

    I have all ready to assebly, the pneumatic and electronic is done, I did exactly he same that the pictures or scheme that I found in this website, system for 2 cylinders, plus one more for the seat belt, 2 valves 5-3-2 open, and one 5-3-2 closed, I am using the vVm110 elleman card, connected to the relay card Vm129, with the original Velleman CD, all works fine, but I can config the matrix yet,, the matrix have 3 speed, and i dont understand perfect all software, maybe I need to work more time to find the problem.-
    I am using the ouputs 3 & 4 for left valve, 5 & 6 for the right and 1&2 for the seat belt cylinder.-
    also I can make work the GTR2 patch, everytime said GTR2 not found

    When it comes to setting up the valve matrix I found it useful to move the simulator with the sliders in profiler and see what valve ports it fired off. (Without any air connected) When I saw that it fired a wrong valve I corrected it in the matrix. When I was satisfied I tried with air and checked that the seat moved as intended. If not correct again.

    With two 5/3 valves it is not possible to have 3 speeds. Just with four 5/3 valves or eight common valves.

    With Pofiler ver.1.x you can control 2 cylinders only. For the seatbelt cylinder you have to start the profiler twice. But I'd recommend you to make your sim running at first before you try to realise the seatbelt tightener.

    thanks Ego!
    I knew that With two 5/3 valves it is not possible to have 3 speeds...
    I started to do like this because I saw in your website that this setup is the best choice to make a simulator like Frex, but If you think that tne best option is to put 4 valves for 3 speed, no problem, I can order another valves to make that, please let me know wich one is the best choice to assy one frame cockpit like you have in your profile picture?
    I order the aluminum to do that frame! I don't care about the seatbelt tightener......so if you think that the 3 speed can work much better I will assy that setup, please let me know!
    thanks again
