    Before building the moving hardware, I wanted to test the operation of the motor before but encountered some difficulties:

    experiment with SMC3Utils v1.01 and simtool 2.3 they have been active.
    But when I connected the game I did not see any vibration.

    LFS has to be run in first person mode before being patched, to generate some necessary files.

    So un-patch LFS, then shutdown SimTools.

    Run LFS and drive a couple of laps.

    Start SimTools then re-patch LFS.

    Test all is working as expected.

    Have you created an Axis Assignment for LFS, as that is required.

    Hi @noorbeast
    Is simtool and lfs only works from win8 or win 10?
    I deleted the patch and ran another round on another laptop. But the motor stayed still.
    All my computers are using win7 32 or 64bit

    SimTools works with all versions of Windows, 32 or 64 bit, except for XP.

    Can you please confirm you have created a motion profile for LFS and post a picture of it.

    Also shut down any firewall or antivirus temporarily and make sure there are no processes running for either.

    Then remove the LFS patch.

    Close SimTools.

    Run LFS in Single Player first person mode and drive some laps.

    Start SimTools.

    Patch LFS.

    Test LFS.

    Output Testing verifies that SimTools is working OK, the issue is either with your settings for LFS or something is blocking LFS like Firewall or Anti-Virus.

    Your Tuning Center picture shows it is set to Output Testing when it should be set to LFS.

    So I need your to please verify and do the following:

    Please post a picture of the Axis Assignments for LFS.

    Please post a picture verifying LFS is patched correctly.

    Please post a picture of the Tuning Center while LFS is running and LFS is the Game Selected.

    Please use the Single Player mode to do the laps in LFS, not the Training mode.
