    So I went through the recommended threads and I played around with Tuning Center and nothing was solved. It very frustrating as I do not understand completely what all of this is doing. For instance, the plugin says "Extra 1" is used for traction loss, which in an aircraft is Yaw. So I set the 3rd axis to Extra 1 but I get nothing in the game. When I look at it in tuning center while playing, there is no data coming into Extra 1, and Yaw seems to be dependent on my compass heading, not any amount of sideslip. I used the capture min/max and it changed my values, but had no effect on the shuddering while sitting on the ramp. In tuning center, I can see Heave Sway and Surge going nuts, so I tried increasing the dead zones for them but there is no effect. It seems like the game is sending screwed up values? Does anyone have a 3dof setup that they can send me to try out? I'm getting nowhere with this.

    @Moe Colontonio Have you tried a fresh install of DCS? Could be worth a try if not already tried as it seems you are running out of ideas.

    Ok with some more playing around in tuning center, and with the suggestion from value1 I've got the vibration down to a minimum that's very tolerable. I set Heave to 10/-10, Sway to 25/-25 and Surge to 6/-6.

    Pitch and Roll I left at the settings they took after I flew with the capture min/max.

    Lol4 I have tried a fresh install, as well as re-downloading the plugin and repatching.

    Thank you for all the help and suggestions. Any ideas on what to do about Yaw, since it doesn't seem to work at all?

    Is it possible to add roll acceleration to extra? I think it would be best to fell this motion instead of roll position

    Wouldn't this be the same as Sway?

    Yes, Roll translates to sway movement in the seat. However using roll rate output as a separate input to sway does translate well expecially doing snap rolls.

    I have rewritten the DCS plugin and Export.lua for g-Seats to use the Extra 1, Extra 2, and Extra 3 channels as Slip, roll_lurch and Pitch_lurch. Roll and Pitch Lurch are only for ground effects using LoGetAngularVelocity() and works extremely well. The F-15C is good on ground but the Su-25 really rocks and rolls as it should. Slip has not been utilised and have tested with fast movers only. (Sorry helo pilots.)

    The Roll and Yaw are angular rates converted to degrees and used as Roll and Sway. Pitch is not used in my case as it translates to Heave for a g-Seat. The MinMax configuration file has been adjusted to give best response values while limiting the motor travel.

    I have modified things for g-Seat outputs and will publish it soon but if value1's plugin is good for 2DOF's then I will also post a 2DOF's version as well. However I've got no way of testing that.

    EDIT: I've looked further into the 2DOF's and don't think it will work. Can angular rates be used rather than angles?

    Can you guys post pictures of your export.lua file? I'm looking in there, but I don't understand how I'd change things. For instance, for whatever reason I'm getting no output to Extra1 even though the plugin says it should be yaw. At the moment, I get nothing for yaw, so my 3DOF is essentially working as a 2 DOF. Rudder input seem to introduce a small amount of roll, affecting sway. If I change extra 1 to YAW in Axis assignments, I still get no Yaw in game, but as I fly through 000 degrees of compass heading the rig violently yaws to the opposite extreme. Again, actual in game yaw does nothing. When I watch it in tuning center, I can see the Yaw value changing with my heading rather than my actual yaw angle.

    This is my export.lua but I have modified the plugin to output to extra 1, extra 2, extra 3. I have axis limited my motors to 75% but recommend very low % so you dont crash them to start with. The min max setting gets good dynamic range from the values. I hope this gives you something to work with. Please note that my plugin ports the DCS output to the appropriate SimTools channel raw. (I will be posting my plugin on the weekend but it is for gseats though.)

    So you find how to get the value of airspeed in DCS?
    Hey, @hugso , this is what you need to get a better motion, no? Maybe you will share your setting if you get it to work well.

    "local TAS = LoGetTrueAirSpeed() -- (args - 0, results - 1 (m/s))"

    OK, I must be missing something here. Do I need to enable data output to SimTools someplace? I installed the plug in, but get no motion at all. All other plugins working perfectly. I suspect I missed a step someplace, but looking through the thread, I don't see anything.

    I am presuming patching for motion went OK via Game Manager and that you have created a DCS Axis Allocation, so what version of DCS are you using and does Game Manager turn blue when DCS is running?

    I just re-installed and re-patched on a second HD, and I get the same thing. Yes, the patch went fine, and I did do an Axis Allocation, which probably needs tweaked, but should give at least some movement.

    Game Manager does indeed turn blue when I start DCS. DCS is the latest steam version, freshly downloaded.

    I do not see any data coming through on Tuning Center though.

    UPDATE!: Got it working! Thanks for the help. I was putting the patch in the wrong directory, in the main DCS, not the saved files. Doh...

    Hello everybody ,

    I just finished my 6 dof motion platform wich after some tunning works perfectly with DCS 2.5 and dcs plugin exept the yaw effect because it is dependent on the compass heading..and useless as it flips .So i do not use it .

    I would like to share my modification of the initial dcs plugin to avoid the flip in roll exceeding 90 degre , very simple solution just for personns who are not aware of that .

    I used the modiefied export.lua from:
    https://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/my-2dof-30-degrees-tilting-chair-mosim.9181/page-3

    Now my question : i did want to use the extra 1 to act as traction loss wich could replace yaw effect but when testing in virtual axis i can t see any movement of the traction loss .. all other effects are working ..strange .

    Have i to re-patch the game evenif my plugin is the last version and fonctionning perfectly ?

    Turn washout on for yaw in this case, should eliminate the flip problem.

    Ok back home and did some test ..

    Washout has no effect on the flip on the yaw Wich is definitively unusable Cause it s related with compass heading .

    @value one in the axis assignement menu i did assign extra 1 in place of yaw ( there is no traction loss available but extra 1 , extra 2 etc.. )for the 6 axis with adequate percentage . Test with in output testing menu :eek:k movement as yaw ! Good !

    With the game launched in the virtual axis menu all the sliders are moving in the upper grid ) exept traction loss .

    Same thing in the tunning center..no value for traction loss .

    I use the last plugin .


    I did all my test with the mirage 2000 , perheps traction loss is not available with this plane .. I will try with other aircraft and keep you inform .

    Does anybody has the traction loss working in the dcs plugin 2.000?

    Thx

    From the plugin description: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/marketplace/digital-combat-simulator-–-dcs-plugin.16/

    Motion data:
    This plugin provides pitch, roll, yaw and surge, sway, heave acceleration.

    All right i did saw the plugin description thank you ..

    I thought it was doable to add traction loss effect to this plugin to replace the unusable yaw unless you have a 360 rottating motion sim ..

    Anyway this plugin should be improve from my point of vue , the roll flip problem should be corrected ( i had to modiefy my export.lua ) as i said before .
    I have no competence in codding so i can only signal what could be improve .

    Did you have both the Gain and Return slider set to 50%?
    Also, set the Max/Min setting for Yaw to 180 and -180.
    And the rollover should be gone.

    Then just adjust the Gain and Return as needed.

    Re-hello ,

    Thks for replying , i did apply the settings you advised , yes yaw flipping is attenued but still there as the telemetry of dcs refference yaw to your magnetic start position .. So definitivly that would be great to have a traction loss effect to simulate yaw .

    As a real life pilot both helo and airplane when i apply rudder and go back to the nutral the nose tend to retake the initial position ..

    The feeling of all the platform is great even without yaw anyway !!
    Hope that someone could find a solution .
