    When in game manager testing 2dof rig roll and pitch work perfectly, but when patched to live for speed only pitch works, all 4 settings are at 50%, should they be lower

    First grab a copy of the SimTools manual and keep it handy for reference:https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/rtfm-start-with-the-official-simtools-documentation.117/

    Then see the handy motion profile tuning tops in the FAQs: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/steps-to-create-a-motion-profile.228/

    In your case there are a couple of things that need to be fixed.

    You need to correctly use the DIR orange check boxes to properly define which way each axis moves, this is what SimTools expects: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/which-way-to-set-simtool-axis-movements.230/

    Setup the Default Profile and use Output Testing to ensure everything moves the correct way: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/output-testing-default-profile-required.344

    With LFS make sure it is run before patching it for motion, see the FAQs here: https://www.xsimulator.net/communit...run-in-first-person-mode-before-patching.365/

    The other issue you have is that you need to capture the Tuning Center Min/Max values, then tweak them, as per the tuning tips in the FAQs, as they are way too high.
