    Hey guys I'm fairly new to the sim scene but project cars was working fine yesterday but today I'm getting very little motion. Its moving, but only noticeably from impacts - no roll or pitch etc. Any ideas?

    Thanks for this useful info but I'm using profiles already made by the guy the designed the rig and tweaked for them to work on different games. It's very odd because all was well a couple of days ago now virtually all forces are gone except big collisions.
    Sort rallrally is 100% working fine though (only other proper motion game I have! ;( )

    To get the most out of any rig, even a commercial one, each game should have a motion profile refined to suit that rig and the user preferences.

    I have seen motion profiles from commercial vendors that have 2-300% total axis allocations, which will result in clipping, but it is up to yourself how you want to set up your rig.

    When seeking help for a commercial rig you should be posting support questions in the commercial thread section, so I will move this thread there.

    Thanks for the tips but for now clipping isnt the issue it's getting the motion to work. I'll have a play again later this evening see if I have any joy

    All good managed to get her working by using the pc2 upd plugin - the normally pc2 plugin stopped working, which was strange but this works so im happy.
    Presume they both do the same thing? same telemetry etc?

    Yes, they do the same, just with the different ways, pcars2 provides the data.

    Ok thanks for clearing that up.

    How did I ever race without motion?? Feelssogood :)

    Dirt rally is really good as well you can feel every little road detail it's amazing.
    Maybe one day I will have a 6dof! I most definitely have caught the bug :)

    Peace guys, have a great weekend
