Question Is there a way to cut off force values above a threshold?

    I am using the tuning center to define my max/min values. This results in very low values like -6 and +6. If i use this settings it feels fine while driving regularly but if i hit a wall it nearly rips me the head off because the game is outputting crash values above 70 and more.

    So is there a way to specify that any value higher than e.g. 8 are not forwarded to the motors?

    Matey, for that reason we have the EDIT boundary /EDIT filter. This filter allows fine resolutions but avoids high impacts on the rig itself if you crash into a wall etc. Hope this helps, if not please send a PM.

    You could try lowering the "Main level" in Game Manger for the games profile to ~92%.
    Add a bit of smoothing to the whole sim, calm it down a bit.
    (or don't hit the wall :grin)
