    Hi!
    I´m finishing off my first attempt at a 3DOF (seatmover w traction loss) sim and have a problem with RBR.
    As the title says I don´t get any game data input on the surge axis and therefore no surge motion. All other axis´work perfectly.
    Below some screenshots to show values captured in tuning center and my settings in game engine and game manager profile editor. Main level is at 100%.
    As you can see all other axis´give input but surge is at 0?
    I´ll also show my motor and PID settings in the JRK configuration utility although I don´t think that´s the culprit here.

    Hardware is:

    JRK´s
    ZYT-90 motors
    HP dps-600pb PSU:s
    Bourns 360 deg pots

    I already posted this question in the RBR plugin thread but haven´t got any answers. I guess no one sees it there.

    Thanks in advance and :cheers to all the people on this great forum! :)

    Hi @Rainer ,
    Im no expert with tuning profiles etc but I have motion With RBR all forces work fine, my settings differ from yours by a lot not sure if you can use mine I guess its worth a try the only thing I would leave alone with yours is the Dir options in axis assignment as your motor position might be reversed etc hope it helps

    we are both using JRK, Same Motors, Psu and pots lol

    as you can see in the tuning centre my values are much lower than yours and I had no need to touch the profile editor> profile settings sliders

    this is not a finished profile but all forces work to a tidy level I kind of been side tracked with dirt rally lol

    Thank you very much @prilad ! :cheers
    I was so confused that only one axis was missing and all others worked fine. :grin
    The fact that other users had the plugin working perfectly made me think I was making some kind of rookie mistake. I´m just finishing building my first motion sim so everything is new to me.

    Also thank you @Daguru for trying to help! :cheers Nice to hear that someone else has the exact same setup. Guess I´ll be asking you if I have problems in the future. :)
    I´ll definitely try your setups cause so far I´ve only did some test runs to see if my sim is working and they´ll come in handy when fine tuning.
