    Start with a generic Axis Allocation, like 20-25%, though you will find for example that the likes of sway end up being higher than that, and heave much less than that.

    thanks for the advices
    Thanks,
    Your advice allow to success to find a start point about the setup.
    I've a good feeling with the playseat. when I will finish some other tests, then I'm going to send a video and some imagines about the values that I've setting up.
    Best regards

    Hello,
    I had some problems with the RFactor 2 configuration about the display setting and the Studio-397 didn't solve too. So I decided to re-install by Steam the software, but before I deleted every folder about RFactor 2.
    Now, it seems to be ok, only some mods have problems, for example DTM machines mods.
    I write because during the set up of axis assignment I 've observed the the sway and the roll didn't move, I set only axis 1 with 20% ,then 40%, then 100% but I didn't feel any movment. I've re-installed the plugin file but nothing is changed and I reset the values in tuning center.
    What's the problem?
    Thanks
    Best Regards

    Does Output Testing behave as expected?

    Can you please post pictures of all of your settings, including the Tuning Center while RFactor 2 is running.

    I made some tests and in the attachment you can find the setup parameters about axis assignment and tuning center before customizations and after.
    as long as I have not intervened on tuning center parameters the playseat reacted little, now I've some difficuties to setup the forces' breadth and the frequency , because there are many diferences between set only a force, for example sway, and set sway and roll at the same time.
    I'm trying to record a video in the next days.
    Thanks

    I am not certain but it sounds like you are trying to adjust all the axis at once in the Tuning Center. Initially you should do each individual axis one at a time, having first captured the Max/Min values as a baseline, then tweak from there, see the tips here: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/steps-to-create-a-motion-profile.228/

    I did one axis at a time, then when I put them together a little changes the behavior of the palyseat.
    However, it does not seem bad to me as a sensation, still to be perfected. Most of all it lacks a little more movement caused by the disconnections of the track for holes or depressions on the asphalt.
    Good feeling change gear up, good feeling on the curbs a little less sway and pitch.
    Honestly, noon excites me even the traction loss effect, I'm afraid it's the fault of the type of engine, van's wiper motor.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks
    Regards

    If your motors are not adequate to drive the rig at a desired level of performance, for a given design, there is only so much that can be achieved via tuning.

    Personally I don't consider wiper motors very well suited to a compact style rig, which requires lots of torque, I use 200w motors and 60:1 wormdrive gearboxes on my compact rig.

    If more performance is what you crave perhaps it is time to consider a motor upgrade.
