    Since my upgrade to Simtools2 the pitch data is affecting Extra1 in Assetto Corsa. I am not able to turn pitch off, it is not selected on any of the axes and no matter which axis I select for Extra1 it affects it. I have tried re-instsalling the software with no success. In output testing everything works fine, is there an issue with the patch?

    Can you post pictures of all of your settings and a video that shows the rig movement and game screen at the same time.

    Below are the axis and inteface screens, none of the other DOFs have anything selected nor is there anything on the other interfaces.

    I always felt that Extra 1 on Assetto Corsa was more a type of 'sway' force than a loss of rear traction and brought this up a long time ago. It was explained to me that this is the best that they can do.

    I agree that it feels like a sway force and don't have a problem with it except where there are steep hills. I first noticed it felt wrong when driving at Donington Park so I tried it at Brands where the hills are steeper. In the video I increased the sensitivity on the axis and it is really disconcerting when the rig moves sideways when you are still going straight.

    One thing I forgot to mention is the traction loss does work as expected should the back slide out. If I use pitch and Extra1 together Extra1 will mimic the pitch movements as well as working as traction loss.

    Agree that it works when the back slides out, but for me it was also working as a sway when the back was not sliding out - I ended up not using it at all, as it never felt right - maybe it was because of this 'pitch' that you have found that I never really expected to isolate :think. I sure the developers will chime in when they have the time.
