    read teh doc as outlined, ignore JRK setup part and do each force individually , fiddle with tuning centre numbers. Remember to set each for as a base of 20%

    Tried to look it up in a patent database, but could not find anything. Seems they used a different company name.

    I think the weigh compensation is simply a sliding table allowing the seat/frame to move back and forth, but the actuators and pivot stay still.
    I did this ages ago on a sim using seat rails

    In this case, I used it for balance between seat mover and full frame add on, however, it would work the same for adjusting for a heavier to lighter driver

    You can see in the photos where its been moved back.

    You are correct. You can move the seat fore and aft over the pivot point and actuators to compensate for weight. The A2 has a separate adjustment for seat tilt. Yours is very similar to the A2. Nice job!

    Could you tell me what you had to do to get simvibe to work with simtools? I also purchased simvibe a while back and would like to use it on my new rig that i am building.

    I did not use Simvibe with SimTools. My motion rig has 2 transducers under the seat aside from the buttkickers. I haven't used SimVibe with SimTools. If I don't have motion with a particular sim, then I use Simvibe.

    As for my OP I have since updated my Simphinity (motion software) and now have motion for PCARS and the others I originially didn't have. So I don't use SimTools right now.

    I haven't tried it but, there is a setting in SimVibe that allows you to launch your sim/game outside of SimVibe. So try setting up SimVibe with that option but don't close it. Start SimTools and launch the game from there.
