    It always helps to post screenshots of all your settings, and to do that on your own thread.

    @kimballfount it could be for some reasons. without any screen shots from your settings it could be hard to find out. . open a new thread describing your problem with some shots so we can help more.

    So been really busy with fine tuning, here is the result:

    There is a small lag on the video between the seat moving and AC, but that is only due to editing...
    My current settings:

    Although I might have still have errors as just checked and my game manager does not have exactly these settings...
    Project will now probably sleep two weeks as ski holiday is coming up, but getting there!

    Even though this project is not finished, already the two new projects are being put together in my head :D
    H shifter by @Scratch : http://www.xsimulator.net/community...f-crate-racing-cockpit.5446/page-7#post-70090

    And later upgrade to worm drive motor and server psu maybe :)

    Because of the lag I'm not sure, but sway seems to be inverted. On right corners it should lean to the left (as opposite as motorbikes do) to simulate the forces.

    @Blame73 : Are you sure? @0:50 you can see that first it throws me to the right (bumps on the left) and then throws me to the left (bumps on the right).

    No, I'm not sure. The asynchronous video doesn't help...
    Anyway who better than you could say it?

    You have plenty of heave set in SimTools but there does not seem to be a lot of heave effect over things like ripple strips and the Monzs straight. Monza in AC actually has a lot of surface detail that you may be missing out on, though the camera on the rig is pretty far way so it is hard to tell.

    Try lowering the values in the Tuning Center for heave and test it out.

    Hey,

    As I have a Skoda Octavia I ended up with two replacement Febi for that.
    It has more than enough power, it just gets a bit hot as this is not the basic design for its use :D
