    Now that it's not possible to run the Jrk utility program at the same time as Simtools are there any suggestions as to the best way to set PID settings without having the graph to help?

    Of course I can play around with it just in the utility but that doesn't really simulate movements while playing a game.

    Those graphs are on the Jrk utility program. Since Simtools 2 it's not possible to run the Jrk utility program and Simtools at the same time.

    That tutorial (that's very good) was done using Simtools 1

    I know that you can't run SimTools 2 and the JRK utility at the same time, what I am trying to point out is that you don't have to, the JRK graph utility is perfect for PID tuning.

    If you skip to around 12:48 in @Avenga76's video he demonstrates adjusting the PID values using the graphs.

    Thats fine if theres no way of doing it. I thought it might be nice to see whats going on while playing games. I.e. using the rig in the way its intended rather than just moving a slider up and down. :cheers
