    Hello Community,

    I have now revived my simulator after a few years of abstinence. I built it at that time with a DIY kit from Simxperience and currently still use the "Simcommander 4" for management. Now I wanted to switch to "Simtools", because I do not like some things in the "Simcommander4" so well. I proceeded according to these instructions: https://www.xsimulator.net/communit...-motionrig-to-simtools.5783/page-3#post-70209
    But the output test fails with the error message "One of your Interfaces want to be Restart GameEngine". Now I searched the forum and found that the ID of the SCN5 actuators must be set to 0 for each actuator. Did I understand that correctly? How can I read the ID of the two actuators and change it if necessary? Is there a tool for this?

    Thanks a lot for the help.

    Hi noorbeast,

    thanks for your support.

    I just checked everything again and found the error. In the device manager 4 COM ports are shown (COM 5 - 8), but these are the ports of the SX4000 box. Of course, I have entered the COM ports 5 & 6 at the interfaces, but the actuators are connected from right to left and thus occupy the COM ports 7 & 8. After I have now corrected the entries of the interfaces to 7 & 8 everything works now, even the output test I can start and the actuators follow the sliders.

    Thanks again for the support - I will need some of it in the next time.
