No motion output from the F18C?

    I would love to get YAW out of DCS on my 3dof. Just can't get it working no matter what I try!

    To be totally honest, I have the yaw turned down to almost nothing on my 6DOF. In DCS you only feel yaw during low speed flight and landings via the rudder pedals and it’s still annoyingly snappy with a very limited movement. Maybe it can be adjusted to feel more natural, but as it is, it doesn’t really add any excitement to flight for me.

    even in helicopters, you feel no sensation for yaw? @Flash66

    I haven’t tried any helicopters in DCS, only jets. Yaw works properly and the sensation of output related to rudder input does work as expected. The only thing I need to try and figure out is how to make it feel more natural. During a carrier landing, rudder corrections seem to snap yaw much too fast instead of being a smooth natural feeling of yaw direction. As it is now it’s just snapping right or left yaw with too much aggressive force which can be aggravating. I’m going to play around in the tuning center to see if it helps.

    Hello Noorbeast,

    I managed to get a 360° Pitch position out of DCS within the export.lua
    https://drive.google.com/open?id=14ZJzK ... q1lrF7J0qb

    Look for pitch_final. This is may usefull even for steward Plattforms.
    Value is now +0 to 3,14 and -3,14 to -0
    Also i added a quarter detection (quarter_final), so you always know in what Quarter of the Pitchvalue your AC is.

    Further more i try to use this Quarters now, to cancel the bank flip @Pitch -/+ 90°.
    Therefor i switch to a relative roll value (acc_x in m/s) when the roll flip zone advances (e.g. quarter 1/2).
    Looking for some Feedback :)

    also, are you in single player or multiplayer? if you go to a multiplayer server that has IC (integrity check)... motion most likely will not work due to alter files (i.e. the patched simtools plugin)
