    Been using the new DOF Reality Rig for about a week now. Today I spent a lot of time on the rig trying to patch it so it feels something like it should, and I was getting there.

    I was just having a run round Mugello in the Williams FW14 (Assetto Corsa) the suddenly the Motor 2 bell crank (3 DOF Rig) quickly went from the normal 3 o'clock position to almost the 7 o'clock (aprox 190 to 200 deg rotation from vertical) position and didnt move again.

    I quickly exited the sim, shut down simtools and rebooted my machine hoping the motor would reset to its normal 90 deg position but nothing.

    Shut down simtools and disconnected the bellcrank. That didnt free anything up.

    After uninstalling and reinstalling all the software I then ran the SMC3 monitor software and followed instructions from DoF Reality how to re-align the motor and run the test. The bell crank is now in the correct position but the SMC3 shows no feedback (green line is straight and level and I presume the feedback line should follow the target line).

    Going back to the supplier has its issues doe to the language barrier.

    Something has obviously gone wrong but I don't know what it is and how I resolve it. If anybody can suggest anything based on the limited information provided Id be most grateful. I'm really sorry guys, Im new to this and have so much to learn.
