    You are right, I wasnt aware of that when I wrote my last post. So it has to be adjusted for every game....

    I think I will too, at least as long as I dont have SCN5 to test on my own :brows:

    Anyway, I think he should increase the accelleration to get rid of the lag...

    Bernard agreed to check out an idea I had while thinking about output speeds. Perhaps we will be able to set a default output speed of 16ms, which is equal to 60Hz or 60fps. Sure, just in case that the movement quality would not suffer that much.
    As 60fps is a value that most of us should be able to achieve ingame, it would be way easier to exchange profiles, if the output speed is fixed to a default of 16ms.
    Let's see...

    But however, I think we should continue this issue in the SCN5 software thread.

    Regards

    I will test some more later tonight but now I going out to get my car back. It got stolen yesterday and the police have just called. They have found it in a town not so far away...

    @egoexpress - Didn't you order 2 SCN5 100mm, back when you mailed me?

    Is there any guide or special way to find out your settings for your outputs.. right now I am just trying to change some numbers and see what happens... right before the police called I had the outputs around 90-100. Peaking at 127. Do you guys have a game running while or just the test plugin... I love to see a video of it.

    Maybe a good idea to continoue i the software thread.

    The video is almost not viewable. But the motion seems to be good!

    I'd even suggest you to remove that video from youtube, and upload another one later...
    I hope you'll find a better cam somewhere arround...
    Or maybe adjust the cam settings to lower performance to get constant video fps...

    Regards

    Please do upload an improved video when you have a chance. I am unable to determine if the profile is working properly or not from this video.

    That's much better. It appears to be an improvement over the last profile. Are your 25% limiters enabled?

    Hi all. After being away from using my setup for many years do to many reasons (work, moving, new house, wife, kids and so on :) ) I have now dusted off my old setup and ready to try it again (this time with the kids (atleast that is the excuse for the wife)).
    I can see it is now software which is available since i last was a part of the forum. Is there anything I should beware of coming from the old software? I have been reading the quick start guide and it seems quite straight forward. Can I install the software and test if the old SCN5 still work (without buying licence) ?
