    Hi all, i have build a 6DOF and the AMC-AASD15 controller together with Simtools.

    When racing Assetto, we cannot feel the acceleration, i mean i would expect to lean backwards.
    There are enough breaking feeling.
    Anyone know what i can do?

    Also the slide feeling is missing??

    I hope you guys can help me, it is a bit sad to mis out on these things.

    Surge is the axis for acceleration and braking, so it sounds like your settings need further refinement for the surge axis.

    Sway is the sense of leaning away from a corner and traction loss is the sense of the rear end breaking away, which is simulated with a pivot near the feet and rear movement.

    Does AC output all the 6DOF ?

    I suggest you turn everything off except surge and see if you get any motion

    Hi @noorbeast and @Gadget999

    i have been working with the surge now and not seen much improvement.
    I can see in the tuning window that i had a wrong setting for starters, but i am still not feeling much.
    I will try and do as you suggest Gadget999, i can see the data is coming from the game.

    i get the idea of the sliding feeling as you say @noorbeast. Its better now, but i still ned to work on it, i have a feeling that it can be much better.

    thank you very much for your inputs.

    Try disabling all axis by temporarily setting their Axis Assignments to zero except the one you are working on, that way you eliminate potentially confusing movement from those axis, see the tuning tips and tricks here: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/steps-to-create-a-motion-profile.228/

    Surge can also be set with a slightly different Min than Max value in the Tuning Center to give that kick in gear changes: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/snappy-gear-change-motion.121/
