    How would you arrange the types of motion in a car simulator in ascending order of importance?
    For example:
    1. Pitch
    2. Sway
    3. Surge
    4. Heave
    5. Yaw ( Traction Loss )
    6. Roll

    Just a note, yaw and traction loss are 2 very different forces. Yaw pivots around a center of rotation, traction loss uses a pivot somewhere near your feet.

    In some flight plugins you also have the option of Extra 1 and 2, as an alternative to traditional roll and pitch.

    The priority of an axis depends on it being flight or race, and the construction of the rig, as you can for example have a single axis rig. Personal preference also comes into play.
