    There is no reason to adjust the tuning center values, just use less % for each DOF in the axis assignments for the game.
    Also, I still have a AMC EZ that works fine with SimTools.
    But if you run the AMC, I would strongly suggest looking into prilad's "Revolution" firmware.
    It simply blows "The other Guy's" firmware out of the water!

    Is there a way to chance the center of the SCN's with Simtools ?
    My scn's are not set in the middle when I start up.

    Thanks for update.

    One question.

    For Iracing, the G-Vert (Heave) is 1 in neutral position. Is possible subtracting 1 (before doing the calculations), so the neutral value would be 0, like the another G-forces (surgeand Sway)

    Cheers

    ottimo, per caso quest' aggiornamento prevede anche l' uso di velleman VM110 (K8055N)???
    In caso sarei deciso a provare sim tools, cosa mi consigliate:
    Possiedo K8055N e saberthoot 2 x 12, se acquisto un arduino uno posso utilizzare la saberthoot o dovrei cambiare anche quella???
    In caso con cosa mi consigliate?
    Aggiungo che per il momento sto usando motori tergicristallo ma prossimamente vorrei cambiare con altri più potenti

    great, for if this 'update also includes the' use of velleman VM110 (K8055N)?? If I'd decided to try sim tools, what do you advise me: I have K8055N and saberthoot 2 x 12, if you buy a arduino one can use the saberthoot or should I change that too?? If you advise me to do? add that for the moment I'm using wiper motors but I would change soon with more powerful

    It does make sense to have g value as 1, zero being weightless, but I tend to agree that if 1g was centre it would be slightly easier to set up as what we want to experience is deviation from normal, which is 1g. As I use servo motors it is not difficult to rotate the servo arm by a couple of splines to centre on 1g.

    Hi again. THanks for the message.

    I think so, but the problem is this : if i use the G-forces Lat (Zero-G Neutral), Long (Zero-G Neutral) , Ver (1g Neutral), the neutral position of axis is higher.

    For example, if the travel of our digital servos is 250 mm, the neutral position (with the car stopped) is 125 mm.

    Then, with 1G vertical, the axis in neutral position is higher, around 135-140 mm.

    Is possible to subtract this 1 g before SIMTOOLS calculates the Axis position?

    ps=Only is with Iracing, because the rfactor and other similars, use the Vert-G is 0 in neutral.

    ps2=Sorry for my english

    "Is possible to subtract this 1 g before SIMTOOLS calculates the Axis position?"
    yes, but it has to be done in the plugin itself.
    Is the heave always off by 1g?
