2DOF Aluminium Profile Rig

hi @Nick Moxley my setup with dirt rally is ,



Cheers

@Nick Moxley ,, I've been playing with the tuning and i took your tuning center settings that you posted in the dirt rally thread and then used @eaorobbie 's axis settings as a base and turned them all off and tuned them all separate and ended up with this ,




I had to turn the heave down to 13 because i nearly sh!t my pants though but its pretty intense now,,,,i'll do another vid in a bit,,, just gonna chill for a bit and have a cuppa.

Try a Wack load More roll and Pitch axis %, In this case its more than acceptable to go beyond the 100% rule...then put 2 tires in the ditch and gauge how much more/less you need for Roll.....Pitch is unique one that requires more personal setting's.

I bumped Pitch up to 15 and Roll up to 10 and yeah that seems to have opened up a lot more depth to the track ,,and especially fun when flying through the air ,,,lol ,,,

cheers for that dude

Try even more......can always go back down....im near 3X to what your running.

This is with the setting's i had last night just before i hit the sack ,,



I'll try cranking the Pitch&Roll right up today ,,

Much better....but still some room for improvement....now to bump up the heave to start to get some shaking from them motors...>Greece has a Nice Heavy gravel Mesh and technically you should be getting rattled to death on that type of gravel.


rattle and roll

During 8 first seconds, the car goes so fast that it seems to not touch the ground!...

Hehe ,,cheers @Nick Moxley the motion is feeling excellent now ,,,,, Although i can't crank the heave up any more now as i'm still shaking for about 30 mins after i get out of the rig,,Haha ,,,
Nice one for all the tuning help , it's much appreciated mate,

Anytime bud.

@Nick Moxley I notice that the pitch has 1 motor inverted, then the other in the above pix. As the sway has 1 motor inverted I assume the 2 motors are synched correctly therefore the 2 pitch settings should be the same either on or off, that's how I've got mine setup and it seems right, up hill and down dale so to speak!!

IF thing's are done properly as we suggest and doing 1 force at a time. Its pretty hard to screw it up.....BUT, it wouldn't be the first time some one's had a Force counter acting what its supposed to be doing.......Double check @stevemontuno by either turning the %'s to 0 in the Axis or by using Really high Tuning center #'s and Test all forces individually. A wrong setting is again rather easy to pick out when there's only 1 force at a time.

@Rastus @Nick Moxley Thanks for the heads up guys ,,for some reason i had my Roll & Pitch mixed up ,,,,, sorted now ,,,,,,that had my head bamboozeled for a bit ,,,lol

Wouldn't be the first time, No worries Steve....Glad you got it all sorted out.

A small update ,,I was thinking of buying a control box to put my wiring inside and then i remembered my brother saying the old original xbox i gave him years ago was dead so i went over and picked it up,,stripped the guts out of it, drilled a nice hole for a fan & put a couple of missile toggle switches on it and hey presto,,,

I still need to put a couple more Monstermoto's in there and add some aviation connectors but it will do for now.

Hey guys,,,,, I created a preset ,and then did a bit more tuning and created another in the same name thinking it would overwrite it ,,anyways it didn't ,,lol ,,so i have 2 with the same name ,,, How would i go about deleting the unwanted preset ,,, ?

Sorry @noorbeast i should of been a little clearer ,,,,,,Its the Axis Assignment Presets in Game Engine that i was meaning,,

Cheers mate ,,i went into the Tools section like you said and deleted the unwanted one ,,,,Sorted

Thought i'd throw in a long awaited update ,, I had to stop putting any more money into my 2dof project and put it into the wifes holiday fund project ,,,lol ,, Anyways we're back from the hols and 2dof fund is open again ,,,gotta keep em sweet ..

So only thing i've done in the last couple of months is knock up some cool looking fan cases on the 3D printer ,,, i was finding after a couple of hours solid use my motors were getting quite hot , not burn your fingers hot but enough to make me think about cooling them down a little ,,

Printed them and gave them a few coats of resin glue


Then sanded them


Few coats of Primer


Few coats of black gloss


Insert fan
