    I was right where you were just a few months ago, and I love troubleshooting. But there are so many variables with this it’s a nightmare.

    Your rig looks like it snapped right to life. Keep the updates coming.

    Hope you are feeling better. As you are starting to test settings might I suggest using Surge and Sway first because you will really feel the motion connected to the car. Looks like it is working well so far.

    Surge and Sway is for accelaration? and brake>? now i use only pitch. and i cant tell you how good the rig react . i can feel the movement of the car in uphill and downhill.i will try to fucos one by one begause in the beggining i put more than 2 forses and i lost it

    You can set up any DOFs you prefer. But now that it is working properly you can revisit the others and simtools will mix them.

    I prefer mostly

    Sway - The feeling you get when you turn the car left and right. You will lean in the opposite direction as the turn which provides the sense of G forces from the turn.

    Surge - the feeling of acceleration and braking. When you press the accelerator you will lean back and when you brake you will lean forward.

    Heave - Gives you the bumps in the road.

    these are my main forces and I add a little pitch and roll just to feel the terrain a bit. But it is all personal preference.

    I’m just a few steps ahead on the same path you are. These guys have been helpful to me so it’s good to be able to pay it forward.
