    DIY:
    DOF (1): traction loss
    Actuators : DIY one DC motor
    Interface : Arduino

    SimTools

    Version Number: 0.2.5.1
    Game Plugin where the error is happening: no known plugin but I use AC and iRacing
    Settings (Relevant settings)

    I looked at

    https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/washout-gain-and-return.303/

    and my version just has washout alone.
    The gain and return look like they would help me get it to be more natural

    See the SimTools manual p.35 for the latest information, Axis Type 2D Standard/Advanced: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/rtfm-start-with-the-official-simtools-documentation.117/

    Washout – This is how fast you try to return to zero after a movement has occurred. If
    your simulator is not homing (re-centering) fast enough after a movement, increase this
    value. The Washout filter and the Traction Loss filter cannot be used at the same time.
    You can only use one or the other.

    (Washout) Gain – This is how much you will react to changes in the input from the
    game. If your simulator is not moving enough from the output from the game, increase
    this value. Gain can only be adjusted if you are using the Washout filter.
    The Washout filter is particularly needed when your DOF input fails to return to center
    after the force is applied to the axis.

    I understand, but his example shows a heading of WASHOUT with GAIN and RETURN as the two settings that have adjustments for each. Mine is just WASHOUT alone.

    This is the adjustment page I'm looking for. Perhaps WASHOUT = RETURN ?

    It would have been an easier answer to just say, "the graphic has changed, the new one does the same thing."

    Please understand we were just trying to show what it looks like in the current version.
    And since not everyone here speaks English natively, helping people with pic's usually helps the current user, and future users also.
    Take care,
