    Hello all, I am fairly green at all of this, I assembled my SFX-100 actuators, mounted them to my cockpit, and I'm using the DCS Plugin w/ AMC-AASD15A controller. I managed to get Live For Speed configured fairly well. Bringing the intensity and percentages of each servo to a good point where you get good feeling of motion, but not ripping the cockpit to shreds.

    With that being said, I'm attempting to get DCS (Digital Combat Simulator) configured. It seems all of the axis are doing very strange behaviour. DCS plugin, tried to pickup the DCS profile under default configuration. Well essenitially all the axis are not correct. As a matter of fact, its hard to figure out, how to even configure them properly.

    Really need help, I have the roll axis figured out, but once you go inverted, the roll axis goes crazy and than fixes itself again. From what I'm reading this is sort of a bug?

    But that being said, I don't have roll , or heave, or anything else.

    I have a simple 4 corner, configuration for my sfx-100 actuators. Front Left is servo 1, Front Right servo 2, Rear Left Servo 3, Rear Right Servo 4.

    I really appreciate if anyone that has done this before can chime in and help a total newb. It would be a huge help!

    Thank you!

    Are you using this plugin?

    https://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/experimental-dcs-plugin-ready-for-testing.13560/

    Lots of discussion in the flight sim threads about roll over ("goes crazy and fixes itself again" )washout, etc. Follow Noorbeast's advice and then read through some of the discussion in the threads on getting the right feel.

    For me flight sim setups are finicky but well worth it once things are smoothed out. I use a 6DoF for flight (rotational) and a 3DoF for driving.

    I tried to install that plugin , but the old one after I stopped the gamemanager and gameengine - I went into the profile folder. Deleted the existing DCS folder, everytime I restart gamemanager and gameengine it re-setup each of the old profiles....Trying to remove the old profile and install this experiemental one only... for dcs that is.
