    no no, Miltion your not getting it, The Physical sensation will be very much wrong, Your Inner ear will very much perceive it differently than it it were to be rotating off the front tires as it does IRL. YAW is a Flight thing's, Very much different in relation to a driving sim.

    Also the more TL angle you pull it will physically start to pull/move your feet away from the Pedals, I highly suggest thinking this over again.

    Actually I think it is a hybrid, yaw is rotation around the center, traditional traction loss is a front pivot with the rear moving through and arc.

    What @Milton Amaya looks to be doing is a small version of a sway table.

    Agree with @shannonb1 , I cannot see how this will work for a sway table, or traction loss?

    Hello there!

    How i got the idea is from the SimXperience traction loss is just a pivot point at front of the rig and a actuator that moved 6" ether direction on the back, so imagine the motion that is happening and now isolate everything and leave just chair the chair movement it's moving about two inches to aether direction on a pivot point.

    I hope this works for me will see!

    So you piece here is going to slide you left, it's going to stress your pivot joints and motor arms. I imagine the feel to be more like a motorcycle as well. Traction loss is to make you feel the rear end kick out. This is more like getting t boned and having the car go up on two wheels. If you slide left and you right arm extends it's not going to be able to hit max because you are moving the chasis. I think your going to break some stuff and possibly your motor.

    Sorry to sound harsh milton, (Not many situations like this) but your wasting your time with this idea, its not going to work as your thinking. This will if anything be VERY distracting and Again cause you to learn VERY BAD driving habits.

    I agreed this will feel like a motorcycle so my thinking is that if i move it a little like 1 or 2 inches it will be just enough so it will tell me that the rear end is kicking out.

    Moving the motors too will solve the problem that will be next upgrade, the reason i do not moved the entired rig is because it is too heavy and it will take more than a single motor also do not have the space to automated.

    Or if you were to have both the seat and motor plate slide together you woudl get away with jsut one motor. I tubing from the front to the rear would keep them locked together and not create any twisting.

    My rig is quite large as well and I have a center console so having a pivoting rear for traction loss isnt straight forward for me either, I appreciate you trying an out of the box idea. Our rigs are similar in size and shape and style. Mine is just part metal part wood and fully carpeted vs. the industrial look you have. I want traction loss too but still trying to figure it out.
