Question Axis total %

So if I understand axis percentage allocation, the following would be incorrect because the totals add up to more than 100%. In this case, Axis1a adds up to 170% which would induce clipping. Do I understand correctly?

Depends if any movement event drives the total on a axis over 100% at any instant in time Eg. If a event drives a axis to say sway 30% , Surge 40% and Pitch 40% then 10% of total axis data at that instant would be lost in clipping. But if you did not get that combination or more at any instant in that game/simulation then it would be fine - so in reality, clipping can depend on allot of factors - not just that they add up to 100% - Although having them add up to 100% or less would guarantee no clipping.

Thanks SeatTime. I've followed quite a few of your threads. I want one of your tensioner systems. Am I out of luck? lol

Keep an eye on my commercial thread.

I think it's complicated, I did a lot of tests and in practice there is also the speed of the engines to take into account.

as we do tests with a record of values without accidents, or extreme trips, we do not really record the possible movements of the car.

so the maximum is never the maximum, everything is wrong if the maximum is just a small bump on a vibrator (for the example)

For example for Roll or Pitch, I have a good result with auto recording Max, with accidents.
then I adjust the% of the axis to get an inclination comparable to what I see in the game.
the simulator tilts like the car in the game.

the maximum of the game is the maximum of the simulator.
the speed of the engines is sufficient to react correctly.

the maximum is not often reached, so there is no clipping.


SeatTime where is your commercial thread ?

Its in the Commercial Simulators section under the 'Harness Tensioner' thread.

This is where I'm struggling a bit to dial things in. If you use the game engine tuning tool, you have to pick a car and then drive a smooth lap. For instance, I primarily drive the Lotus 79 for iracing. So I tuned the values on a single track and car. If I want to drive the skip barber, I'm not sure the values translate too well. I mean yeah, I can adjust the sliders via game manager, but I'm getting so so results.

but we can not record the effects values for each car.
it does not save them.

Thanks for the info below. But aren't the min/max values stored by the tuning tool based on a single car/track combo? If so, we're just overriding the values captured by the tuning tool for that single car/track when we "tune" via the Profile Editor. I feel like there's a disconnect between min/max values stored by the tuning tool and selecting other car/track combos and just moving the sliders in profile editor.

So you're saying that it doesn't matter which car/track is used by the tuning tool to store the initial values. I just want to make sure that I understand.
