    Hello guys,
    I have a Prosimu T1000 with 3 axis that are SCN6 actuators.
    I play only with RFactor2 and I still can't remove their mecanic noise (it seems like actuators reach little targets after the good move has been done). I can't filter it with the smoothing. If I do, the good move dissapears and the mecanic noise remains. I have tried all about settings, the best I have for now are the following:
    Interface:
    -Rate: 50ms
    -Speed: 10000
    -Acc: 8
    Assignements (2D advanced):
    -Roll: 30% (Smoothing 10%, Dead zone 1%)
    -Sway: 15% (Not used yet)
    -Pitch: 30% (Smoothing 10%)
    -Surge: 15% (not used yet)
    -Heave: 10% ( Smoothing 15%; Washout Return -50; Gain -50)
    Tuning center:
    -Roll : 6, -6
    -Pitch: 6, -6
    -Heave: 0.55, -0.55
    -Sway: 4, -4
    -Surge: 1, -1.5
    -Traction Loss: 12, -12

    I suspect the RFactor2 telemetry which never stops moving. I can see them jittering in the tuning center when the car is stopped. (That is "Traction loss" that moves the most!! Maybe an explanation?)
    Do you know the reason why does the telemetry data in RFactor2 is so presice? Why can't I filter it with the smoothing?
    I'd like to filter the telemetry by choosing the number of parameter's decimals I see jittering in the tuning center. Do you think it is a good idea?
    If I tell you the number of decimals I'd like for each parameter, could you compile a plug-in version for me?
    I'm ready to work for it if needed:)

    Regards
    GL

    What were the initial Tuning Center values when Captured?

    Just a little higher.
    With higher (and much higher) values the vibrations grow...

    The higher the TC value the smoother the output over a greater range, and conversely, the smaller the value the sharper the motion over a smaller range.

    So at a guess, if the initial Capture was higher, try a higher TC entry, and only work on one axis at a time, so you don't get mixed signals.

    For now turn off filters such as washout on heave, as that makes it harder to get good base settings, filters should be for final tweaks.

    Please see the tuning tips in the FAQs: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/

    Yes, i understand the TC funtion. It's wired Because i had to decrease the pitch range to get the moves i see on the screen. If i increase the range i get vibrations and no visible moves...
    Any tips?
    For information, i have change the following settings and remove all the filters:

    Interfaces (2 front actuators):
    -Rate: 10ms
    -Speed:13250
    -Acc:8

    TC:
    -Roll: 2, -2
    -Pitch: 1.15, -1.15

    it's is better like this.

    Force ranges on these two axis are:
    -Roll, Pitch 30%
    -Heave 10%

    I setting the simulator on Nurburgring F1 layout with Mégane Renault.

    On one hand i have moves i don't see on the screen, and, on the other hand, i don't get them all.
    Some tips to improve?
