    Hello.
    I have downloaded your new tool, but it seems that it does not support 2x SNC6 running on the same COM port (with a different id)
    Is there anyway to bypass this limitation?
    Kind regards

    Yes, that's true...
    That's why i was not using this tool.
    I was hoping this limitation was removed on the new 2.0 version...

    Is it not easier to use 2 com ports and then use the software. the software itself is very easy to use so probably worth connecting seperatly

    Yes, but that requires additionnal hardware that I don't have currently.. (usb to com convertor)
    around 100$ :/
    While my current conf is working with several other tool (logykal, etc..)

    It's reasonable to ask for 2 scn per adapter and it will be looked into.
    I'm just waiting for some scn test equipment to arrive.
    No eta on the new interface plugin thou.

    Hi,
    I have the same problem. 2 SCN one port with 2 ID. Is it possible to upgrade in this way ? What do you think about that ?

    I got the same problem. One converter, one USB. Funny thing I was not aware it is worth to upgrade till I came back to Assetto and found it very jerky. iR for so many years was no problem via one converter. Then I just a bit by accident bought Simtools 2.0 and found I needed another converter. So I bought another one.

    Hey Yobuddy, I am also really interested by this . I had in ming a gseat with 50 mm snc5 . I found two on ebay very cheap and bought them already
    unfortunately, I found out later I was short of one interface. a simple solution would be those 2 snc5 on one com port. I am glad that you are working on a way to achieve this .

    Just so you guys know.
    The reason SimTools only supports one SCN per adapter is that some cheep adapters cant get up to full speed with 2 scn's attached. And since the adapters are so cheep, why not just use 2 and have a better sim.

    I still have not received any hardware yet, but will look at it once some hardware gets here!
    Take care guys!

    Hello,

    Does the latest simtool update support 2 SNC 6 on the same com port?
    Thank you for your feedback
