    Need some help with simtools

    There something i dont understand about tuning center. ? Min and Max If i would like more motion on Surge acc. and less motion on braking do i need to change Max or min. do i need the max at around +10 and min -2 or min at -10. i get a good gear shifting around +3-3 but over that its almost gone. The problem here is there too much power on braking and acc i would like a more smooth feeling. i have read up and down on this forum but dont seem to understand it. Yes i know im smartest guy in this area ;)

    Any good links to a youtube explanation is welcome.

    to have big surge on acceleration which adds to gear change effect, a small number in MAX, while to soften the force in braking a larger number in MIN
    Example Max 10 , Min 20, but keep the percentage of the force overall the same in axis assignments.

    Hi all

    Thinking about buying Simvibe, 89$ is still alot for a piece of software that im not sure will boost the sim feeling. ?

    what are your guys thought, is it worth buying.

    I am SimVibe owner :). Engine sound and vibration, feeling the deep noise switching the gears, that is really impressive and I miss it if the amplifier is off. My seat mover is really hard moving and fast turning, but w/o the vibrations it feels "empty". At the moment simvibe is - perhaps and only for me - not worth the money due to the lack of sounds (no complete data output of AC), but there is no alternative. If you want to use it with other racing sims there are many options of different outputs and the authentic feeling is guaranteed.

    Prize with Simvibe is high, but I love the effects it produces. @Pit is right, now without it rig feels empty.

    Made some welding on the motor brackets and i must admit what a diffence it makes the noise is gone and much more smooth motion.

    Bought simvibe yesterday had it run once. nice feeling. didnt had the time to test much.

    Thinks still to do.

    Cleaning up the mess behind the cabinet, cable´s etc.
    Actuator for pedals, need to mount this to the pedals.
    a bigger screen
    and maybe alot more ;)

    Hi @mugge66
    For traction loss you need a third - yaw - axis. The motion base will rotate around a vertical axis. How that's intended to work can be seen in this video

    Hi guys Need your help :)

    i play mostly iracing and AC. but i have this issue that there are at some points where the simulator just tilt to one side, the same places all the time this can be on straights and in turns. its like there are some glithes.

    i just did a clean install with win7 and iracing and now i am having this issue with some tracks that i did not have the problems with before. do you guys have any idea what this can be. ??
