    Hi Guys - I have a 3DOF seat mover setup with rear traction loss (3x SCN actuators). I'm trying to figure out how to best setup the speed and acceleration settings to prolong the feeling of a drift before reaching max actuator travel. I have seen some posts suggesting to set the speed at max but slowing the acceleration to around 50%. I was thinking it might make more sense to keep the acceleration at max and reduce the SCN speed by 50% so that the initial reaction time of the actuator is fast and not delayed, but then the speed of movement is more gradual to prolong a drift. Does that make any sense? Please help clarify this issue for me. Thanks!!

    Simtools Version 2 will have some more options for you to play with as far as "gain and return" I wouldn't be too worried about getting it 100% perfect right now.
