My 2DOF wipe motors and ITEM structure

Love the way that you get in and it doesn't shift around, cant wait till I get my new motors in the mail with the higher gear ratio.

Second note, your roll looks al little soft to be cruising around in an f1 car.

third note, How much do you suppose you spend on 80/20's?

Roll is FAR less important compared to say Sway. Most tracks dont have a terrible amount of "roll"

Only simulate G forces no Roll.

You can propose you a more appropriate settings for rFactor2?

Recommend that you try a balanced Axis assignment, that totals 100% of Axis Movement.

I mix Roll , Pitch, Surge, Sway, Heave all at 20% of Axis Movement , doing this you will never loss any detail in the motion profile.
Some run higher values so the total axis movement is above 100% which is impossible to output so when your sim is near its extremes if another force is needed the motion cue is lost because it pasts 100% of the Axis Total Movements.

Now with my Axis decided , I then run the game in a window and the tuning centre and tune my forces/angles to what I feel is right. The given Min/Max's in the tuning centre are only examples , some are way out, sorry.

I agree with @eaorbbie but I leave heave at about 60% of pitch. So if pitch is 100% then I would make heave 60%.

Sorry to make it clearer

2DOF - with 5 Deg of forces , I set.

Axis 1 Roll 20% Pitch 20% Surge 20% Sway 20% Heave 20% - Totals 100% of the axis used.
Axis 2 Roll 20% Pitch 20% Surge 20% Sway 20% Heave 20% - Totals 100% of the axis used.

@eaorobbie
I've never thought about setting those to get a value of 100%.
I've always set them up from my personal feeling, which combined it did exceed 100.

So basically, if one use only two forces, surge and sway for example, they should be set as 50% - 50% each, or 60-40 etc, to make it 100%.
I didn't know you lose that motion if it goes above 100%.

I tried your settings, but feetback the very mild, they are not Summing thoughts about me, I only see that every move that shaft 20% of the total.
And forgive, and con That's my inicial configuration Hecho video is THIS:





And another question, "ROLL" which has an axis invert as with Sway, no?

I never thought about that! I'm gonna redo all of my settings according to this. Thanks
Really informative

yes and no, set the force on its own and test it to get it right, then add the rest later

you do not loose motion if you go over the 100% total. I have mine near 130% ish total if needed,. I simply cannot get decent motion I like unless I raise the percentage, but I do start at 20% each force. Rinse repeat.

I understand and used 100 and 60 for easy math. Yes I try to keep my total sub 150% as well

Agreed, On P cars i run a few higher value's to get the proper motion, Boils down to what YOU want as the end user. However only having them at maybe 20-30% of overall travel is as we've stated wrong.

Its the base to start with at 20% per force, thats what is suggested. Not stick to 20% per force.
As I said, even I cannot leave some forces that low, no matter how much time I work in tuning centre.
But its a BASE value suggested

@all: I suggest to open a dedicated FAQ thread, the information provided by @eaorobbie is completely new to me as well. After months of testing I am running my forces under 20% using low values in the tuning center (except for TL, one force = one axis = 100%). Not to forget my levers mounted on the motors are very long (15cm = 5.9 in) and already mentioned in an other thread I do not like way long movements (especially heave) for racing, but IMO the seat should move in the same way as the car on the screen does, neither less or more.

I would explain Roll as the angle in the corner. Stopped on a high back turn you should lean, thats roll.

I would explain Sway as acceleration to the left or right. So if you are stopped your shouldnt feel sway.

I added this to my setup and tested the correct movement of each axis. Now the feeling is much more realistic. A much improved thanks your advice.
N= Normal direction os axis
R= Reverse direccion of axis
Axis 1 | Roll N 60% | N Pitch 40% | N Surge 40% | R Sway 60% | N Heave 20%
Axis 2 | Roll R 60% | N Pitch 40% | N Surge 40% | N Sway 60% | N Heave 20%

These settings convey realism when upgraded or downgraded or inclination curves and convina well with the G forces Sway and Surge. Only if you have an accident too many forces to the axes are added and can be somewhat violent movement.

Try with less roll as that's Too much roll imo, You would Never Ever have THAT much angle to the road to use that Many "Degrees" of movement.

I agree for the most part but I do like me some roll when Im racing oval tracks on iRacing
