    You only have Roll and Pitch allocated on the Axis Assignments in the settings picture you posted.

    The way you should go about it is to start with surge only, allocate 20% in the Axis Assignments, test in game and manually adjust Tuning Center Values until surge feels right: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/tuning-center-entering-manual-values.210/

    You can do a base setting for the Tuning Center: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/set-base-tuning-motion-values-in-the-tuning-center.122/

    With surge the Max value is generally smaller than the Min value in the Tuning Center, to give the effect of a snappy gear changes: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/snappy-gear-change-motion.121/

    Disable surge but leave the Axis Allocation % in place so you can easily re-enable it.

    Do Sway next and follow the same procedure, then do heave the same way.

    Once you have surge, sway and heave sorted then you can try adding roll and pitch last, as they are far less important.

    Once you are satisfied with each you can re-enable them all and SimTools will mix the results. You may need to do some minor manual tweaking in the Tuning Center with all enabled.

    When you are satisfied with the generic motion profile you created then you can refine it even further by creating specific car/track profiles in the Profile Editor, located in the SimTools Game Manager. Copy the Default Profile in Profile Editor under the Editor tab, name the copy by the Car/Track then use the sliders in the Editor to further tweak the settings.
