    what is the difference between, lateral movement and roll

    how does the sim differentiate ...

    you would think left and right movement is similar any which way.

    this is with a 2dof scn5 setup.

    Hey Johnfatboy bro,

    Pitch and roll correspond to the vehicle's orientation Y/X axis respectively. Lateral (X) and Longitudinal (Y) refer to G-Forces the vehicle experiences. Driving Example (level road, 100mph, F1 Racer): Hit the brakes hard Result: Pitch(Y) doesn't change much as the car remains relatively level, however, Longitudinal(Y) will spike and wash back to 0 as you stop. Hit the gas and L(Y) will spike to the opposite end of the axis and wash back as you reach and maintain a constant speed.

    The pitch and roll effects will allow you to feel when you are going up and down hills (pitch) and also bumps, curbs as well as lateral weight transfer during cornering (roll/Yaw).
