    hi, i have 2x 12v 300w motors, and when i use smc3 and set thePWMmax to less than 150 the motor not move , above 150 the motor working , the problem is if i set the PWMmax to above 150 the motion in game move so hard and so quick and so shake, and help can i do to make it work smoothly?, i tried to make the PWMmin to 10 and less but its move fast, i tried to make game manager to 50% but its reduce moving angle, what should i do? help

    Those values are way too low, to be safe set them to 100, which should be pretty tame, then tune from there.

    if i change the value like 100 then 101 so the motor should move to check the position?

    Hi @absyfadhel1 ,

    here are some configuration steps that I would reconmend:

    1. Configure SMC3 correctly by following the steps in the tutorial.
    After this, the motors should follow the SMC3 input values (e. g. the sinus or rect curve etc.) as good as possible. Note that you need to do this configuration while sitting in your simulator.

    2. Configure the Axis settings in Game Engine. As @noorbeast already mentioned, the sum of all settings is far too high according to your screenshots.
    Example: Axis1 = 40 (sway) + 40 (surge) + 9 (heave) + 40 (roll) + 40 (pitch) = 169
    Reduce these values so that the sum is less than 100. The reason is simply that SinTools cannot apply more than 100% of movement. With your current settings, SimTools will probably reach the 100% rather often during a rollercoaster ride, which is one reason of the hard movements you have.

    3. I recommend to configure Anti Roll-over for Roll and Pitch in order to avoid that your seat snaps from one side to the other in a looping or cork screw. See here for details:
    https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/anti-rollover.327/

    4. For further smoothening the movements, Game Engine provides a smoothing filter for all axis. See the Flt button on the right side of the acis input fields. I have also applied some smoothing in NL2. Just play with the filter until you feel comfortable.

    5. Reset the Tuning Center values and capture them again with different rollercoasters. Then keep the values unchanged at first.

    6. Now make some rides in NL2 and do some fine tuning for each axis, if needed.
    You can do this by modifying the axis settings as well as the Tuning Center values.

    One general tuning recommendation: You should tune only one axis at a time and have all other axis set to zero. Otherwise it is difficult for you to judge the movement.

    Hope this helps.

    You are amazing, thanks for all this advice you give alot of sulotion , thanks

    i tried the smooth flt and i try to use tunning center put after i save setting the motor not moving to the good positiin i want like when the rollercoster go down the motor move down litte bit

    i use simtools 40% of like pitch so the motor move to the position i want correctly but when game strat the motor move more than the 40%,

    is there any video help how to tune roller custer with tunning center?, i look at the tunning center FAQ alot of time put not helped

    Please make sure that you only have pitch enabled and all other DOF (roll, sway, surge, etc.) are set to zero in the Axis assignment.

    Then about the tuning center: I don't know about a video, but capturing the values is quite simple:
    You can find a step-by-step instruction here: https://www.xsimulator.net/tuning-centre/

    If the motor movements are still to big after the previous steps, you can increase the tuning center values: Press "Capture Max Min" without a rollercoaster running. Then enter a slightly larger pitch value, press "Save New Settings" and then "Stop Capture".

    Maybe you need to switch the + and - cables of this motor?

    I used 2x ibt-2 for one motor but its not giving good power, so i ordered this one for 2 motors, but I didn't found anyone make diagram for connection , and its work with smc3 or not?
