    @flaco2488 , I know how it feels not having much time,
    see how the guides go, and when you get a chance, post screen shots of game engine interface settings, axis assignments,
    also, did you patch the game, change tuning centre nnumbers?
    Saying "its not working" is too broad to work with

    Can I just clarify, while the motors are 18 and 24V what PSU is being used and what voltage to the JRK?

    What wire gauge are you using?

    Can you please post screenshots of all your JRK settings.

    Can you please post screenshots of all your SimTools settings.

    You think you did? That doesnt really help. You HAVE to set feedback.
    use 12v motors, and as for cables from motors, not usually, just trim the wire down a bit if need be to put into the connectors on the board

    As noorbeast and bsft have said, please post some pictures of your jrk config utility, your simtools settings and if possible even some pics of the jrks, power supply, cabling, and potentiometers themselves.
    I'm sure we can help you out once we know what hardware and software setups you actually have.
    Without that info, it makes it difficult to troubleshoot effectively.
