    It's hard to say without a picture of your simulator, but this setting tells the sim where the rotation point is.
    If your sim looks like the one in the picture, then you probably do not need to make any changes.
    Know that you can test your settings in the axis assignments section or v3, while running virtual plugin to see exactly what your Sim Config settings are doing.
    Feel free to PM me if you need more help buddy.
    Take care!

    Thanks a lot Yobuddy! I think i keep the centre of gravity in the centre, sitting a little behind the centre but the feet rest (peddals) are compensating for it. I have added a photo now. Kind regards, Piet (Netherlands) vooraanzicht met race stoel leuning.JPG

    I'm not quite sure what your asking buddy. Do you have a pic of your v2 settings?
    I'm sure I can help get you going in v3 if that's what your asking?
