    Today I delete Sim Tools , SCM3 , arduino etc.... and reinstall all and apparently works good. Only one motor is a bit jitter.
    The chasis I can´t finish yet, but i will have in this days. Too much work and no time!!!

    Advances: Chasis. The fisics of the sim are regulable. Maybe the center is too high. What do you think?? IMG_20210322_195025_699.jpg IMG_20210322_194154_072.jpg IMG_20210322_195014_471.jpg

    First test:
    No good news. The motors have not strength. The voltage go down to 10 V when I apply weight. I think i need other power supply. When I can search a good power supply to my Sim?? IMG_20210401_131815_387.jpg IMG_20210401_131831_759.jpg IMG_20210401_131841_398.jpg

    You can try searching the likes of Amazon and Ebay for 24V LED PSUs.

    Do you have a licensed version of SimTools and if so is SimTools registered?

    Did Rfactor and iracing patch OK, and if have you done a proper motion profile for each of them?

    Please post pictures of all of your settings.

    Thanks for sharing your rig in action :thumbs

    Just an observation, sway seems to be reversed in the settings, as it should lean away from a corner. Set roll opposite of sway. Surge needs tweaking to be more pronounced in braking and acceleration, once that is sorted you can also set a bigger Min than Max value in the Tuning Center for simulating gearshifts.

    See the tips here on how to refine your motion profile: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/steps-to-create-a-motion-profile.228/
