    My thought is to mix heave in with my surge and sway on my seat I only have a 2 axis setup, but I was hoping I could mix heave in as well for Dirt Rally. I don't know if it would make a significant difference to the feel of driving, but is it possible? or am I thinking about this all wrong and the motions would get cancelled out?
    Thanks!

    You absolutely can do that with 2DoF, I do myself. In Axis setup you can choose the forces that each axis replicates. Sorry that I do not have a handy graphic available but you can search the FAQ section for a wealth of information on setting up your Simtools axis.
