    Not only 25mm/s but also without load - under load they will move (up) way slower (and down a little bit faster) which makes any movements unnatural.

    ADDENDUM: BTW I have seen after my post that the actuators show 800N which is a lot.

    @noorbeast noted that your actuators are too slow for a racing simulator.

    Please open a new thread, this is a SMC3 support thread and we should not waste it by posting off topic for any reason ;) Thank you.
