    Hi,

    When I want to adjust in Tuning Center (iRacing Plugin only) the value from "Roll" it doesnt center under a value of 13. The program suggests a value of 4 but then the left actuator is much more down than the right one. What can I do?

    I set it up like in the video and i have the same prosimu 2 dof rig:


    Tuning center settings:
    I think i solved it now: I reseted all settings and fixed the roll value at first at 5 and then I let him calculate the rest of the values. Now I have the value of 5 at roll and it feels similar to my other games (assetto corsa, rre, pc2)

    The video creator acknowledges they do not know what they are doing with Axis Allocations.

    Unfortunately if you follow the settings in the video you will end up with clipping, as the Axis Allocations are way to high.

    You should aim for 100% total Axis Allocation per axis, you can go a little over but not by much.

    I rather play like that than actually having no movement..I cant feel any clipping now, i feel all forces I expect. Or you think I will have same movement when I reduce everything?

    If you look at my original comment you will see the SimTools developer @yobuddy also agrees with the advice I have given you.

    Learning how to properly refine a motion profile takes time and some patients, but will produce the best results for any rig, including commercial ones. We can only offer advice, it is up to you if you want to take it or not.

    If you follow the steps given properly then you will have movement.

    Thx for your reply. I will try tomorrow to set it up step by step and not to go much over 100% and I will post here again when it was successfull.

    It was not successful. I didnt have any movement when i compared this to my previous settings. I do it now like i described and feel every bump and everything feels like it should be. Cant imagine someone plays with for example 30% roll or surge only...

    I suspect you did not set the Tuning Center values correctly, but it is your rig to do with as you wish and if you are happy with it as it is set then that is your choice.

    Tuning center calculated automatically, and it was nearly no movement. Can you post your settings? I would try that

    If you follow the instructions you capture the Min/Max for Tuning Center values and then manually adjust them from there. The lower the TC value the sharper the sim response, and heave in particular can often end up being a decimal value less than 1.

    A well sorted motion profile is tuned to both the rig and user preferences, with rig design being a significant factor. Just plugging in other people's values will not be helpful unless the rig is exactly the same, and even then you will get some variations in motion profiles to account for thing like hardware wear and more importantly user preference. An example of the latter is that, generally speaking, you will use less overall axis movement when using VR than you would for screens.

    If you post images of all settings and a video that shows the rig movement and game screen at the same time then members can advise on what to try.
