    There is not really any room to display anything but the 5 or 6 chars that are there.
    And they are named directly above anyway...

    Interface naming is on the list, as the names can also be used for sim re-setup.

    @yobuddy if you can get the deadzone / boundary sorted and give me a bit more headroom on the filter (instead of 50% of 2.x make it 75%) then I should have everything I need to get cracking on profiles. (not sure if you saw the request for even more smoothing amongst the other replies).

    Just to be sure what I was mentioning:

    upload_2022-4-5_9-3-18.png

    Those 2 lines are "duplicated", but with different labels.
    I was suggesting making the second equal the first.

    I didn't understand the "5 or 6 charts" you mentionned.

    I understand, but the bottom one has less room because of the button.
    upload_2022-4-5_8-10-10.png
    Top one has 2 rows for text, bottom one has one row because the buttons in the way.
    We could move the button, but I'm not sure were yet.

    The display value is wrong for deadzone and boundary, but they should work just fine.

    I think we may have proven that the old range for smoothing was not so bad.
    I think I'm just going to restore it to what it used to be, as people know what to expect with the old values.

    THanks @yobuddy I agree with you, it means also I can just port the old values across which is useful. Sorry for the trouble!

    No trouble at all buddy!
    Tuning stuff in can be a bit of work.
    Thanks for the help!

    Did you publish it to the SimTools repo? I didn't get any update and I'm still needing to use massive amount of smoothing.

    All options on auto.
    Any way to confirm the plugin version installed?

    I see a bug in Test Settings, when centering the Axis by clicking on Stop Testing some do not center and the program hangs for 20 or 30 seconds. I put here the link to a quick video made with the mobile where you can see what I say.

    If you goto the repo, and point to the upper-left of the banner of the standard axis plugin, it will open its data page, and you can check your version.
