    hello guys
    i have a few questions.
    i was able to get my sim work
    but i dont like slow movements and dont feel shifting gears and road bumps

    The SimTool setup section is generic @Pit, so we at least know what steps/approach @dradis is taking.

    @dradis , just look through the document as @noorbeast says, just skip past the JRK setup part.
    @Pit , time for you to do an ard based document then. :p

    EDIT, gear shifts are felt from surge, so adjust the tuning centre number up higher till it goes away, but you may get a soft acting force for hitting the gas pedal.
    Bumps is most of the time felt through heave, just remove that force all together.
    But remember, you may still feel some big bumps through surge.

    Take heave out all together , that will stop bumps, but not all.
    Reduce surge from 60% down till it smooths out and change the tuning centre numbers to refine it.
