Question Help Setting Correct Ports on AASD15A for 3DOF with PT Actuator

The SimTools manual shows how to setup for a 5DOF setup. but I only have 3 actuators.
The manual page 7 states for a 5DOF setup, and in Barry Rowlands SRG review, he followed this guide, but his PT rig had everything possible:
"arrange the order of connection of each actuator to the AMC-AASD15A controller to correspond to correct order described to the Axis assignments of Simtools."

Rear left - Servo 1 connector of AMC-AASD15A
Front left - Servo 2 connector of AMC-AASD15A
Front right - Servo 3 connector of AMC-AASD15A
Rear right - Servo 4 connector of AMC-AASD15A
Traction loss - Servo 5 connector of AMC-AASD15A

I have my 3 actuators connected as follows:

Servo 1 Connector - Front center (only one actuator on the front) - actuator says 'Axis A'
Servo 2 Connector - Back Left - actuator says 'Axis B'
Servo 3 Connector - Back Right - actuator says 'Axis C'

If this is incorrect, I would love to know what Servo connectors should be connected where as if I follow the 5DOF connection guide then I just can't, since I have no front left or right - only middle actuator on the front.

In 'Game Engine' in changed the interface settings to show only 3-Axis as I only have 3 actuators.

I only really play iRacing, and have the Simtools Pro license and purchased the plugins and have iRacing plugin correctly installed.
The iRacing plugin shown in the 'Game Engine' 'Axis Assignments tab does not have any values/parameters for any of the Axis? I can choose 'roll, surge' etc from the dropdowns, but shouldn't the iRacing plugin fill this in?
I'm new and just got everything setup (updated toe the beta fix#6 firmware), and have been trying to just try the thing out for 2 days!
Appreciate some guidance.
Thanks.

Hey noorbeast!
It's friday night, my hands are bleeding and sore from this install, and I just want to feel what motion is about in iRacing.
I thought by purchasing the plugins that when I select iRacing it would setup a good config, but nothing at all happens.
I can move each servo using the testing function in SimTools, but not when the dropdown is set to 'DOF Output', I can only test when I set to '(a) axis output'.
I'm so confused

IN Thanos manual, on page 7 (or 8) he talks about how the servo motors must be connected to the AASD15A, but only for a 5DOF setup. I only have 3DOF, so how am I supposed to know then which servo driver connects to which port?

Sure thing.
I followed the Barry Rowland SRG install to the T - obviously with less actuators.
I can test using the 'DOF Output drop down - previously this was not possible because there were no settings in the DOF section.
This is how my actuators relate to the output testing:

Axis 1a = Front mounted centered single actuator (physical label on actuator says Axis: A)
Axis 2a= Rear Left actuator (physical label on actuator says Axis: B)
Axis 3a= Rear Right actuator (physical label on actuator says Axis: C

Some screens of my settings

Additionally, it seems that pitch and heave do exactly the same things, is this because I only have 3 actuators instead of 4?
Which one should I choose for my 3DOF setup?

Thanks Noorbeast!
That makes total sense on the roll, removing the front actuator indeed helped.
I added more pitch and less heave, and that also looks good.

Still not working in iRacing?
I purchased the plugins, and downloaded the iRacing profile, but when I load it, there's no parameters at all, so what exactly are we paying for with the plugins if you have to enter all your own parameters?
How is this different from just creating a profile and tweaking it?
I'm sure I'm missing something, but so far all I seem to have find is just the name of a profiles 'iRacing'!

As for the servo port connections, it seems that when I run the tests it moves as it should, so it's not like things are back to front or reversed. So unless iRacing requires unusual settings, it seems things are working in the directions they should.

I like the setup, shame I can't get it to work in game, but it looks cool!

So, in SimTools I opened the 'Game Manager' and there's an entry for iRacing here too, but all roll, pitch, heave values were at zero.
I changed these to the same as the 'iRacing' config in the 'Game Engine'.
Off to test to see if this works - if it does, then why is there even an iRacing profile in 'Game Engine' if it only works in if setup in the 'Game Manager'
o

Ok, so using the 'Game Manager' it works and seems like it's moving the right ways with the exception of pitch.
It seems that I do not have to duplicate the parameters for roll, pitch and heave into the iRacing profile in 'Game Manager', so I'm not sure why the profile here even has those sliders?
The only useful slider seems to be the main 'intensity level'?

When I get on the brakes heavy, the front does not dip as it would in real life and create the sensation of heavy braking.
Also, I would like to have a little 'jolt' when I change gears, and that's not happening at all?

So, we are getting closer, but still not quite right.

Hi - first thanks for helping.
Makes sense that the sliders in the Game Manager would be to turn up or down axis effects for different cars, so leave that alone for now.
I have created an Axis Assignment in Game Engine


I had to patch iRacing in the Game Manager to finally feel motion, so yes.

As for the telemetry info, not sure where I would see that, and don't know what Tuning Manager is?
I race in VR 100% so is this telemetry on the monitor mirror?

PS - that link suggests to start with just surge, but does this assume I have 5 or 6 DOF?
Otherwise just start with an axis I have - roll, pitch or heave.

Here is results from telemetry:

I followed the tutorial, started recording telemetry (Capture Max/Min), reset then launch iRacing, then after a few laps exited iRacing and then save values in the Tuning tool

seems that I have to alt+tab after driving a few laps to them save the settings.
If I leave iRacing then it loses everything.
Drove the Mazda MX5 Cup car and it felt pretty good except for that it felt like it was a hovercraft reacting to changing road surfaces, but yet not connected. This is a very odd sensation that I'm not sure how to combat.

Would be nice if I could find other 3DOF users who race iRacing to share parameters to have a good baseline to tweak.
I like tinkering, but there's a lot of truth in the old saying about there being no need to reinvent the wheel!
There's a guy on here Luke Brown who has exactly the same setup as me, and is an iRacing member, but he must either be dead (hopefully not) or no longer into racing as he doesn't seem to have been around for a while and never answers any PM's.

This stuff is fun, and I got a little VR motion sickness for the first time ever!
I like the surge effect, but it can be a little too much and will have to fine tune that.
There's this odd motion which can be recreated every time without fail - if I'm driving very slowly and hit the brakes, there's this very obvious sensation of sinking down into the car vertically towards the ground.
This feels like a Heave effect, but the severity of it seems related to surge, or at least I think based on my testing?

Thanks so much for all the help and your patience - I'm sure you get the same questions ad-nauseum!
I think I'm going to enjoy this motion malarkey once I can get everything dialled in - I'm participating in the 24H endurance race at LeMans later today, so might need to just turn all the motion off for that until I know it's comfortable. My team doesn't need me pulling over on the Mulsanne to yack in my rig!
