    I have asked value1 in the NoLimits2 plugin thread for the same as elite and the extras in FSX/P3D hopefully he will be able to sort it soon. Its quite poor at the moment cause it just feels so wrong when you go upside down.

    I don't know if my experience meets your matter but using the washout filter the movements are less aggressive and way shorter than without. Washout means you use the complete percentage of your capabilities using short moves and without washout you move over the full distance equivalent to the percentage.

    Did you understand what I tried to explain? :)

    Yes I had washout on YAW but as it stands as soon as you get to 180 degrees and you go past that it turns into a minus -180 degrees and it throws the sim right over to the otherside there is no work around on our side it needs to be done in the plugin. Same with roll once you get so far you get the exact same thing.

    Its an easy fix once the super coder @value1 figures it out :D

    Driving and equipment failure...things were looking so good up until then!

    Your rig is looking great, I can imagine the feeling of the bumps as your were hurtling along.

    Great stuff, (looks like hard work :)) use to have the same problem with my G27 gear shifter, ended up using bolts to permanently fix it to the rig.

    You have spent such a big effort to this day, such a great rig and "only" a G27 shifter...probably and honestly said you should upgrade :)
