    Let me explain what i mean.

    I can get axis 1 & 2 to move with the slider but the roll/pitch/etc. sliders do not move the machine. Is this normal or have i done something wrong? Seems like a much easier way to test output settings and motor directions?

    Thanks

    You can go to Output Testing in Game Engine and Turn On Axis Testing, then use the sliders to move each axis/force individually, is that what you are looking for?

    Can you please post pictures of all of your settings, that would likely help a lot.

    Output testing only looks at the default profile in axis assignments not any game profiles so make sure you have pitch,roll,heave etc set in the default profile and then once you turn on output testing you can select output type and swap between dof and axis
