    mh okay helps in some cases but maybe iam dump ...

    so what should happen if i push the slider for roll to the right ? should the seat lean to the right or the left ?

    also surge ? slider to the right .... seat moves forwards or backwards ? not so clear in the FAQ .... it just referex from one slider to another in the virtual axis display ....

    you know what i mean ?

    Right

    Forwards

    Know that the direction of output is configurable per game with the 'Dir' check-boxes in axis assignments.
    Hope that helps!

    Thanks again. Yes I played around with the settings. But sometimes it feels wrong... Also other people seems to have Problems with the direction. Seen on Youtube 6dof clips in the comments many hints for wrong behavior

    I suggest setting up one dof at a time, so its simple to make sure all of the dof's are working right.
    With the last step being turning them all on, surge and sway can be tricky to get right using 2d math.
    Give us a week, and I bet you will find things easier...
