    I would increase values in the tuning center for Extra1

    Here is a pic of the tuning center. The sim Im using is rfactor2. I have tried numbers from 1.0 to 170.0 in the tuning center with 1 set in the washout in the game engine. All other axis are disabled at the moment until i get the traction loss sorted out. With these setting i get very little movement out of that axis. If i put washout to "0" and set the smoothing to 50 % it is better but not realistic. TuningCenter.jpg

    Do you have access to a Skid pad style track ? To watch the tuning center values while you turn and apply throttle, for the most part i match my Min/Max with the actual data for Extra1 , for example in Assetto my Extra 1 is @ 14 i believe which is a slide and catch moment for the most part, yes a Full 360 spin out might pull out a higher min/max but using the heave trick in running a really low min/max to speed up/access the data from the axis in question isn't a wise idea for Traction loss imo.....and 4.xx for Extra1 will result in sketchy motion....Why run any wash out, leave it all @ Zero , get it working properly, Then Start to tweek and tune as you feel needed.

    I dont have acess to a skid pad but i will try setting up with no washout and see how that goes.

    Thanks for the help. I tried the number you used for extra 1 and it made a huge difference. I put 14 into the min/max and it was a lot more realistic. I also purchased assertto corsa last night so I will use that to dial in my sim. Once Im happy with it I will try setup my other sims. (rfactor2 and Pcars)

    I just installed Assetto Corsa and patched the game. When the game manager is running it is green and when I start AC it goes blue for about 1 second then goes back to green. The game continues to run with no issue. Also unpatched and repatched, still the same. Has anyone come accross this problem? thx

    ok, I believe I have changed the settings to public. In the video my grandson is driving and he spends a lot of time off the asphalt and in the grass. lol
