    Pitch is not included in the settings you posted, but even for those that are, the total % allocation is likely approaching being too high: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/axis-assignment-percentage-totals.120/

    What I am suggesting is that further motion profile refinement is likely needed.

    Personally there are aspects of Mount Panorama's elevation changes that should be reflected in a motion profile, given how drastic they are IRL.

    Hi, I'm starting to test Simtools v3 and it's great!... I noticed on the axis limiting page, if I reduce for example the limit to 25% on an axis and I click on the cross to reset to 100%, then it is always 25% that is returned in the gameor in test setting.I have to use the slider to reset 100%.. So I think there is a reset problem with the cross button

    it would be great if it was possible to limit with different positive and negative values.
    For the surge, by using the max for the negative limit and 0 for the positive limit, we would only take into account braking and not acceleration, which could be used for belt tensioners for example
    It would really be a change compared to version 2

    If you mean needing to set any kind of local region settings, then nope.
    That v2 problem is fixed in v3.
    Take care,

    It already works like this buddy.
    We can simply use a zero for one side to turn it off.
    There is also output types options in the advanced axis plugin that's meant for g-seats.
    Take care!

    Up till now I have only used the basic axis plugin on simtools 3. Am I able to just download the standard plugin? Will it affect the existing setup or do I need to delete the basic axis plugin first?

    Yes, you can install the standard and advanced plugin also with no problem. :thumbs

    Tested WRC Generations and found out same conflict between Sway and Roll being on same direction of travel. Tested separately working ok , but when applied together rig goes crazy from side to side.

    Yes!.. I find how to do ;)
    With the "set #2" in Min/Max Tuning, we can use a specific conf for a axis belt and use "set #1" for the 2dof seat
    I don't find this possibility with the simtools v2
    Thanks

    The direction of a DOF output is 100% configurable in the axis assignments.
    Simply click the Direction (Dir) button to flip the output buddy.

    You have to goto options and set the mode to expert.

    I know that. The problem is ,only way to tilt on the correct side in game is if you put those on same direction of travel. (See pic) If you drive slowly works but when bigger forces are applied rig starts to go from side to side. I had same problem with Dirt Rally but that was fixed few days ago. In test mode everything works , but in game is a conflict between sway and roll. I hope I explained it right. In the picture roll should be opposite to sway. But if I put it like that in game the rig goes to opposite direction than it should. If the problem is not clear I will make a more detailed video

    It makes no difference weather we flip the output in the plugin itself thou, or the first step in the axis plugin, Ultimately its the same output.

    Just wanted to report a slight issue with simtools v3 when using assetto corsa. If you exit a practice race, before you are returned to the menu screen, simtools screen appears for a second then dissappear. If you now return to the race, all your movement in the rig is lost. You have to exit the game, then restart for motion to resume.

    Hello... A simple request: during the RaceRoom plugin installation phase what should be the right path to indicate so that the operation can be successful? I'm trying but I always get an incorrect path error :confused:

    No such issue here, are you using the native menu or content manager?

    Hey guys. Just doing some testing in Richard Burns Rally. The surge seems to be throwing some funny values. while im braking or accelerating its kinda jumping all over ther place. Is anyone else experiencing this?
