    You need to provide a bit more context and detail.

    In what circumstances does it stop working, is it under heavy load like a crash or something else and it what game does it happen?

    Are there any error messages?

    What hardware are you using and does it show signs of stress, like overheating?

    From you limited description my guess thus far would likely be as power spike under load. If that were the case then reducing the Intensity Level in the Profile Editor of Game Manager to something like 96 may help.

    like it worked a lot and it was hard to resist so it stopped and I had to press the reset button on the circuit to return to the original state for example: I played rally 2.0 when I ran to a bad road, the chair would shake strongly and many times it would suffer later.

    So as I suggested try reducing the Intensity Level in the Profile Editor of Game Manager to something like 96, that will create some global smoothing.

    Other suggestions include better shielding, cable management and clip on Ferrite magnets.

    Past that you need to consider how to better manage power spikes. Likely using a 12V car battery would make a difference.

    My racing system is 2dof should there be anything in the axis assignments (roll, surge, sway, pitch, heave. ,,, yaw) which ones are reasonable, can you give me the setting suitable for 2dof

    Codemaster games can be a bit of a pain, the patch path is different depending on the computer being 32 or 64bit: https://www.xsimulator.net/communit...-32-bit-install-path-for-motion-patching.260/

    With MSFS2020 have you followed all the install notes: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/marketplace/microsoft-flight-simulator-2020-plugin.246/

    Notes:
    • This plugin installs and runs a separate application that it uses to get motion data from the game. This may require GameManager to be run as administrator when patching.
    • A config file is included with this application and is located in AppData\Local\SimTools\MFS2020. This file can be used to set the rate of data transmission, which by default is 100 Hz. It can also be used to change the IP address that the application sends data to, which is necessary when the game and GameEngine are running on different PCs. In this case, change TargetIP to the internal IP address (e.g. 192.168...) of the PC running GameEngine.
    • If you are having problems with motion data, try replacing the file SimConnect.dll in AppData\Local\SimTools\MFS2020. A different version of this file may work better on your system. Look for one in the game installation directory, or install the SDK and look in MSFS SDK\SimConnect SDK\lib.
