    Hello, i'm new here
    I like to show my homemade racing sim
    it's use arduino UNO and 12v car wiper motor.
    i would like to test it with simtools. i read @RacingMat tutorial and will use it

    thanks in advance

    here's the picture

    Your English is fine @mracs and thanks so much for the pictures...it looks like you have done a great job :thumbs

    I am sure we will all look forward to a video once you have Simtools up and running. There are some really clever and helpful people on this forum so please do post any questions you may have.

    @eaorobbie thanks for your concern.
    I've tested it with lfs, my motor running with no issues
    but I'm still learning to setup the axis

    Hi!

    The amplitude of movement are a bit too small IMO.
    What is your lever length?
    Maybe you can use the tuning center or Game Engine to calibrate greater movements?

    It's up to your feeling and needs ;)

    motion looks good, maybe some refinement, but that is learn in time and also personal preference.
    However, I can see a lot of twist in that frame. A draglink setup to help stop the twist would improve the motion feeling.
    Also, maybe try @RufusDufus or @prilad codes as well. They are more complicated, but you may get a better result again,

    hi @RacingMat do you mean this length?
    20140905_080144.jpg
    I lowered settings. i use 60% in game manager.

    thanks @bsft, you're right, It feel much twisted. I will arrange to put the draglink
    i will try that code, to see the difference:thumbs

    yes! 65mm and 60%
    interesting information !

    Have pleasure driving your sim, you deserve it!!

    I had a thought, you could attach a wiper to the drag link and give yourself a bit of "drift" in the frame.

    draglink.jpg

    a drag link is a rod with ball joints (rod ends) on it to help stop twist. I though maybe put a drag link on on corner at the back and attach it to a motor, and run "yaw" force through it.

    thanks a lot for the explanation bsft. :thumbs
    I will try to apply it with my simulator.
    but does it matter if I put it in the front of the simulator? I have an empty spot there

    front or back, it was just a suggestion thats all, could be interesting to add it seeing you already have frame twist, why not add a drift bit to it.

    Should try to run the Game Manager at 100%.
    Axis Assignments % when totalled per Axis should not exceed 100% too.

    Then once in the game use the Game Engine - Tuning centre and modify the Min Max values, all simulators are different in build so this needs to tuned in for your simulator and to the amount of movement you want too.
    If movement for example of Roll in 6,6 for Min Max and the sim seems to roll around heaps then you increase the values and it will not reach the extremes of the Axis setting as quick.
    When tuning I turn off all forces except the one Im testing in game so not to confuse any other movement with the one Im testing.

    Im sure with proper tuning and fixing the twist with a link setup it will be fine on the code its running.
    Overall love seeing another dream coming true, Top Work.
