    hi all.
    Well my rig is up and running again. Not had a chance to build the new design yet but at least it all works.
    I cant remember how i set it up before. im sure i read a post but cant find it now.
    I have set my axis up correctly and all are working so i would like to set up one at a time. I did just put values in last night to test and the forces are working correctly so just need setting up properly

    is there a preferred order to do this, and then add the next DOF working through if that makes sense.

    i.e i start with heave and set that, then add roll and set that, then surge etc.

    i have 5 DOF i believe(well 5 actuators). I will have SURGE, SWAY, HEAVE, ROLL, PITCH and TRACTION LOSS.

    now my rig is set up in its own room i would like to get set up properly now.

    Cheers all
