    Hi all,
    Have a query that I hope someone with more experience than I can assist with.
    Sometimes motion will pause (never more than approx 3-5 seconds max) and then suddenly come back on-line and rough move to it's currently registered position. I'm using QTY 3 PT Actuators 150mm set at stroke 140mm, a Thanos AASD-15A controller, and this occurs with the spike filter on and off. When spike filter is on, there is no register that it is occurring, I have e-stop/off-line switch box with illuminated buttons.
    This happens sporadically even at times of gentle movements, both in Elite Dangerous and DCS. In DCS occurs at moments such as short finals, so not a lot of input/movement.
    Happens with both SRS (beta) and Simtools (v2.5). SRS gets knocked offline, Simtools is robust enough to hang on, but I'm not sure it's software related.

    Sum of DOF %'s is equal or less than 100%
    Any input will be appreciated.
    Thanks, John

    Quick update,
    I have changed USB ports that the AASD controller was plugged into, from a 4 port USB 2.0 PCI connector card to a USB 2.0 port on the motherboard. Early days yet, but I have completed a flight without any jolts.
    Big thanks to @yobuddy for Simtools, my body and my brain thank you for enabling swapping direction of axes, in my case aileron control.
    Cheers, John
