Showroom DX - Compact Simulator

Unless there is a dedicated axis that only does one thing, like traction loss, there is always a degree of dialing a motion profile in using all the other motor axis. For example my heave axis uses all three motors in unison.

So no, the only time it is a good idea to use exclusive settings is when the axis it is controlling is the only one that can affect that particular motion, such as traction loss or a dedicated surge table.

I am working toward a generic motion profile for Assetto Corsa that I can tweak further per car. It may not look like it but the seat moves around under you quite a bit and heave brings a whole new dimension to Nordschleife, particularly in places like Flugplatz where you really feel the lift and compression.

When they are uploaded I will post some other videos of the basic profile used with the Williams F1, the Corvette and Cobra, as they are all very different in the way the suspension moves and hence I used them when working on the profile.

For now here is the Williams FW31 @ Nords, the Game Manager has been turned down to 95% to tame the motion a bit, as above that the bumps at Nordschleife are just too rough.

I am uploading a comparison video now, the Cobra is very different to the fw31. I may make a higher wheel post at some stage but it's current height is determine by what length it could be to also fold down to centre mount the Warthog joystick.

Yes adjustable would be the way to go.

Do you have a download link for the Ferrari @Nick Moxley, I would enjoy trying something new and value your suggestions?

Yes I can bump the profiler up on the likes of Silverstone, Spa and Monza but as you know I love the complexity and challenge of Nords. For me it is just a bit of fun.

Thanks @Nick Moxley, I will give it a whirl!

Here is a birds eye view of my compact sim's heave using the FW31, Corvette and Cobra at Nordschleife.

In their motion the FW31 is rapid and harsh, the Corvette moderately stiff and the Cobra wallows at the edge of uncontrollability. Each are fun in their own way and feel completely different despite using the same motion profile.

In between cars the sim returns to its un-powered state, the front 60:1 motors can't be back driven even un-powered, but the rear 25:1 motor can.

What is needed to dial in a motion profile can differ quite dramatically. For example these are my current setting for Assetto Corsa, I use 5% smoothing on the rear heave Axis 2. Note I am using all 3 motors for heave and also for surge. It is likely hard to see in the videos but with surge the rear motor actually pulls the seat back and pushes it forward a small amount because of the arc of the heave knee.



The settings for heave are dramatically different for LFS, there I am using quite a bit of boundary limiting for heave and much less allocation on the rear Axis 2.
