    And for the rFactor2 you have any configuration of SINTOOLS? it is better simulate the G forces or the x and y axes

    Pardon? x and y axis? Not sure what you mean. My guide is generic in setting motion profiles for all games

    In the config of SIMTOOLS GAME ENGINE, the axis is better simulate G forces or simulate x\y axes of feetback in the plugin?

    Try setting P to 0.5
    I to 0
    D to 0.75
    Apply settings
    PID period to 20 ms
    Integral limit to 10000

    Those percentages of the force are very low, its a wonder yo get any feeling of motion at all.
    Try changing them up to 20% each and then work with tuning centre numbers.
    Did you read my guide on setting profiles?

    Hello, I just tried your settings and my project improved. But I have to keep trying things during the game since the reactions seem somewhat slow in engines.

    Hang on, I watched the video again, I can see 2 problems.
    First being the springs
    Wipers are not exactly powerful motors and using springs , the motion WILL be reduced because they absorb some of the motion. Get rid of the springs.
    Second, the placement of the motors.
    From personal experience, they are mounted to connect too low
    You would need to make an extra bit of frame and mount the connections a lot higher, that way you are getting up closer to your centre of gravity and the motors will work less hard and motion will improve

    And opinais of this video has given me an idea for my motors change position, I see that from that point of support reactions are faster.

    theres a lot of bounce from the springs and goodness knows what motors he is using.
    Ive been through 14 designs, mount the motors higher at the front and loose the springs

    Yes, mount the motor lever arms up like you have pictured, your motion will improve.
