    This is my second attempt at making an experience move. I was successfully able to get Live for Speed to move my platform, but failed to get Ultrawings and Elite Dangerous (ED made game manager crash).

    I suppose I'm just looking for any suggestions/tips you might have in my troubleshooting sim tools for X-Plane. I have to imagine there's a thread out there for this already, but I can't search these forums very effectively (if there is one, would love to be pointed in the write direction. It also feels like the settings inside of x-plane need to be changed. Would love a walk through of that, too, if that's possible.

    I have the latest plugin, I believe (downloaded 2/12). xplane is patched and connected. Tuning center showed max and min values and no values on the top lines. I'll attach an image of that as well as my axis assignments.

    Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

    X-Plane 11 needs some specific in-game settings, see here for details: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/x-plane-11-setup.288/

    With flight motion profiles you can generally get away with much higher axis allocations, particularly for pitch and roll, and hence a higher overall Axis Allocation % total, as there is less chance of all axis being at their allocated limits compared to a profile for race sims, but you still construct the profile the same way, initially one axis at a time: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/steps-to-create-a-motion-profile.228/

    Flight profiles often need the use of filters and that includes the anti-rollover option in the latest SimTools. By default DOFreality rigs on use the Basic axis assignment in Axis Type, which does not give you access to filters. You will need to change that to Generic 2D Advanced, but take note of your existing settings for the likes of LFS, as they will be reset.

    Hi Guys,

    I have set my rig with xplane 11 as the other game rigs, but I have an issue with the heave. At tuning center it has a value with about +- near to 1, (means 1g, i believe),
    should be OK, meaning we are at earth with 1G gravity. But it is resulting at me my platform set a bit higher than middle position about heave
    force. Is that any possibility to 'trim' that force closer to the physical middle point?

    Any suggestions?


    Thanx,
    George

    Please do not cross post the same question, it gets way too difficult for others to follow: https://www.xsimulator.net/communit...dof-motion-platform.10542/page-18#post-175303
