    As a starting point set the motors according to @eaorobbie's guide: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/playseat-to-2-dofseat.5401/page-2#post-56352

    If you user server PSUs and they trip out try slightly lower Max duty cycle and Max acceleration, with a slightly lower Main Level%, like 97%, in the Game Manager Profile Editor.

    All the JRK functionality and settings are explained in the manual: https://www.pololu.com/docs/pdf/0J38/jrk_motor_controller.pdf

    On the SimTools side here are the steps to creating and refining a motion profile: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/steps-to-create-a-motion-profile.228/

    Hey Brett, have you checked your potentiometers and made sure they are properly secured and can't slip in any way? The reason I'm saying this is that I have seen similar issues to what you are describing and it turned out that one of the pot's had a bit of play and would sometimes not provide the correct feedback to the jrk.
