    Hi there, i configured all 6dof's but there's no extra column for the additional "extra1" (2.3....) for the Traktion loss. Where can I add this?

    Presuming you have 6 axis already defined as Axis1a.... then you can set up a different controller in Interface Settings to use the b axis:

    Giving you another possible 6 b axis:

    You can replace yaw or sway with traction loss, but imo if you have a 6dof you don't need to bother - you get the correct motion eitherway

    yes but i thougt its needed in addition because the gaming profiles say that they use all of the standard 6DOF axis + Extra1 (as traction loss) for example project cars
