    How do I find out information on how to tune flypt mover or simtools application to the belt tensioner? So far I understand that belt loosens on acceleration but tightens on breaking.. reading values of lateral acceleration without gravity..

    There's many tutorials on how to build the belt tensioner..but not much on how to setup with a game..

    the link help me to understand that the belt tensioner (single motor) should be used as compared to a function of surge...
    i got caught up with all the scientific variables.
    i built a belt tensioner as per Flag Ghost and @Peacemaker105

    now im intrigued by the double motor design to allow sway function....
