    An SCN5 actuator has three output axis direct interfaces. As many of us already know, they are Acceleration, Position and Speed. It seems reasonable to me that properly providing all three of these values would provide the most realistic motion.

    I am not sure that I properly understand all of the values available in the Race 07 and rFactor Plugins and the point of this post is to hopefully get some clarity there.

    Again, my goal is to map all three of these input interfaces. Can someone please help me to fill in the blanks.

    rFactor
    SCN5 Position - Effects 25-27 (Vertical, Lateral & Longitudal Force)
    SCN5 Speed - Effects 36-38 (Vertical, Lateral & Longitudal Velocity (aka Speed))
    SCN5 Acceleration- ??? I don't see any inputs that would be valid for this. Is it possible to calcuate this in the plugin given change in velocity over time ??? Does the plugin architecture even have a timer?

    Race 07
    SCN5 Position - Effects 25-27 (Vertical, Lateral & Longitudal Force)
    SCN5 Speed - ??? I don't see any inputs that would be valid for this. ???
    SCN5 Acceleration- ??? Is it possible to calcuate this in the plugin given change in velocity once those values are found (aka speed) over time ???

    I am more than willing to do the work to put this together, even if that means finding values in a memory mapped file or assembling some calculations for a plugin. I simply need someone to verify my thinking and point me in the right direction.
