    Hi all,

    I have been wondering if Simtools' Extra1, Extra2 and Extra3 are well defined, like:

    Extra1 = roll/sec
    Extra2= pitch/sec
    Extra3=yaw/sec

    Or if their definition changes from game to game depending on the game's plugin?

    If it depends on the game's plugin then how would one know what the game's plugin definitions for them?

    Thank you for your help.

    Open Game Manger, and then click Profile Editor.
    Now click on the More page.
    All of the Extra DOF's are listed here.

    In Game Engine the extra DOF's are listed in the Axis Assignments when the game plugin is selected from he Game List.

    Take care,
    yobuddy

    This is wonderful. It made it easy to know the extra definition for each game without having to search the internet. Thank you @yobuddy .
