    In profiles i have downloaded traction loss is just a cubic function on yaw rotation speed. Between the green lines nothing happens, but once you go past it, the rig will yaw and it will feel like traction loss. If your car is able to make very tight turns you might hit the limit.
    You can widen the area by changing the cubic parameter (green) , make it move more (orange) and how fast (blue)

    long shot question from lurker, first time poster. I have the opportunity to try a 6DOF Stewart platform linear actuator 1610 ballscrew 300mm travel that is running FlyPT with an ACC profile.
    I'd like to bring my PC and controls, to hook up to the rig. I'd install FlyPT on my PC. hook up Thanos AMC etc... in order to try MSFS 2020. I have all that setup on my PC, VR etc...
    How far away from making this work am I? Is there a profile that can be shared as a baseline for this config in the community?

    Not far.. open up my attached msfs profile and then import the rig from ACC profile. delete my rig entry and then just go thru the poses and outputs to make sure they use the new rig. you can get it all working in the 3d viewer and when it's behaving properly, go plug into the 6dof

    Got it to work.... I started building my frame and ordered my actuators. picking out a AASD controller. M4S or Thanos. Seems M4S has edge with 32bit processor and higher resolution control of the actuators.

    I was looking at the horizontal double circular hexapod setup, and not sure in what situation this setup would be chosen. Are there any photos of real-world setups like this?

    Double


    Simple




    In a double you can cross arms giving you more range


    Edit: saw a real double rotary, but can't find the video right now

    2nd edit: Take a look at this paper: https://www.researchgate.net/profil...A-new-rotary-hexapod-for-micropositioning.pdf
