    I have been struggling to get the correct motion settings for my diy 2 dof rig runng Assetto Corsa.
    I watched a Simtools video that gave axis assignments for a rig with 2 motors mounted at the back of the rig. Mine are located in the front though. I will attach a photo of the settings and the rig.
    During game play the sway forces seem to be working correctly (the seat rolls to the outside during cornering.)
    My problem is with surge. As I apply the brakes rather than a forward surge I am getting a right hand roll and a left roll on acceleration. I have tried to reverse one of the force settings with no luck.
    Ive spent the morning reading and trying to figure this out but my old stone age mind is having troubles. Anyways all ideas solutions will be greatly appreciated.

    I did have the same problem reversing the motors at first to realize the you have to save the new setting after switching directions of the motor to take affect.

    Thanks Manuel
    That was exactly my problem. I also had to reverse locations of sway and surge I'm assuming because of my motors being located on the front?
    Anyways it all works!
