    Still fine tuning my rig and I have 2 questions. (My build post is here)https://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/2dof-gearmotor-build-design-in-process.13104/

    1) Is there a FAQ to help me setup gamevibe with my buttkicker transducer and/or any tips for setting it up for iracing? I would like to get all of my hardware running on one product line, I currently use other software to drive my transducers.

    2) Using the iracing plugin, I have tuned my Braking/Acceleration to feel right, however the shifts feel weak. My settings are 5 and -5 for surge, and 6 and -6 for extra1. Which number would I change to make the shifts a bit more firm? I have heard of people running offset numbers, but dont know what the offset should be or where to start.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi @Mike Stuart,
    1) This should help if you have not seen it.
    https://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/gamevibe-manual.11358/

    2) I would play with the surge input. (Maybe auto capture surge without balancing on so the top and bottom numbers can be different.)
    This is done because the gas peddle usually causes more acceleration than breaking does.
    Anyway, give that a try.

    Take care!
