    Ok, couple more things to understand. Does anybody know what motion controls acceleration and braking? I assume it is surge?

    Yes surge is the primary axis for acceleration and braking.

    Setting a differentiated Max and Min surge values in the Tuning Center can also be used for gear shift kicks: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/snappy-gear-change-motion.121/

    Simtools v3, does not allow to change one of min max values, only changing both if i slide adjuster... But not a big deal, just when braking, nose dives down too much, but as i said it is not a problem.

    hi again, strange thing happened. I had to change my pc components(mb ram gpu cpu) basically all pc. And after replacement, my DIY license gone on Simtools v3. I can use simtools v2.6 but i can not find game plugins... Is there anything what i can do to reset my license(Simtools v3)?

    I have contacted support, and they did something, and i can reregister once again. Problem solved.

    Yeah it is cool thing. What i already encountered is that suspensions are vital to this thing. One of shocks failed(gas came out) and after 1 hour of playing one of motors burned off. So if someone wants to use wiper motors, give them help with furniture's shocks. I used 300N, it holds 30kg. Just put in same distances from center of gravity.
