    In general when configuring a motion seat with 3 axes for surge, sway, and heave what % of each axis can I allocate? The FAQ mentions you can go to 80% or so for each DOF when using Pitch and roll, is it the same for G forces?

    Every figure this out?

    I've been experimenting with percentages. I recently have my roll, pitch and heave totally 170, which I know isn't recommended to go past 100, but I did read that for flight games it's less likely in non fighter jet aircrafts to be using many axies aggressively at the same time.

    So far it feels pretty natural and without interruptions, but I'm not playing yet I'm simply dialing in and testing. I'm using DCS with helicopters only I'm on day two of having a motion sim.
