    Interesting. So you would keep the seat, wheel and pedals all moving together like I have now for surge?

    I’ve been considering ways to move one of the front actuators to the front to remove the over constrained problem but I don’t see how to do that with the full surge platform moving back and forth.

    I’m sure the tuning issues are all my fault. I understand the software technically but this feels like an art. I’m a “mechanic”, not creative.

    I did the same with my Rig. I don´t like when the Seat moves different to the Wheel or Pedals like a Seatmover, it feels just wrong.

    I don´t understand what you mean, do you have problems with the motors?

    Which Software do you use? I use and recommend Simhub, they did a great job and the Software is very functional.

    I'm referencing Aerosmith's point that the platform is over constrained because the actuators are hard attached. The srt80's are plenty powerful enough that 3 would be adequate. That would free up a channel and reduce risk of the platform twisting itself again.

    The servo's are fantastic and have given me no issues.

    I'm using simtools currently. I'll have to look at Simhub. I had been eyeballing SRS but you mentioned it was bad.
