    Hi, I have a couple of questions that I'm struggling with on my 2dof setup with FS2020.
    When I bank left or right the output over exaggerates my bank angle, so a slight bank on the SIM is quite a steep bank on the right, how do I get it to be more like for Like with inputs.
    Also when I hit my angle limit on the rig it returns back to middle, what setting is doing that as I would prefer it just stops at the limit until I'm back within the tolerance again?

    Thanks

    It sounds like you need to adjust the Max/Min values for sway. May I see you max/min settings for the game?

    It sounds like you using Sway rate instead of sway? May I see a pic of you axis setting buddy?
    Chat soon,

    Hi, I'll post my settings later but I don't use sway, just roll, pitch, heave.

    Try replacing the Roll with Sway and the Pitch with Surge. I bet you will like the result.

    So a I changed from Roll/Pitch to Sway/Surge and it is an absolutely hideous experience. The rig feels like its out of control, so would like to understand what I'm doing wrong if it was meant to be a better experience?
    Thanks Richard

    Ok, so first lets remove the axis limiting.
    upload_2024-9-8_15-31-56.jpeg
    You don't need this unless your axis overshoot, in which case 95% or so should be good enough.

    Next, please set the Max/Min values for roll, pitch and yaw to 180 / -180.

    Now try these axis assignments.
    (you will want surge and sway for racing games, I forgot we were doing fs2020)

    Where the only filters your using is anti-rollover

    And then simply adjust the lower right Intensity Level to your liking.
    With these settings setup, give the game another go and be sure to do a barrel roll, so you can see what the Anti-Rollover does.
    Please let me know how it goes buddy.
