    Would it be possible to output a graph of time against DOF movements with the purpose of checking things like:

    The average movement of each axis over time (i.e. Is the rig only moving small amounts most of the time).
    The degree of any clipping per axis. (i.e. Are any movements being clipped in game, to what extent, how often).

    I don't think my abilities would be up to making something like this, but it would be a really useful feature, especially for 6DOF. Maybe something similar already exists?

    Hi,

    Well, in the 6DOF FlyPT plugin (choose one of the hexapods in the axis assignments) you have graphics showing the actuators positions and values, besides the DOF.
    You could also try Mover (https://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/flypt-mover-interface.13464/), that gives you graphics for most values related to the calculations and actuators (like the plugin and more).
    You can also enable an auto gain in the rig, that reduces gain until no clipping is happening.
    Mover allows you to use multiple types of rigs, but was initially build for a 6DOF stewart platform.

    Great, that sounds perfect. I'll give it a whirl. :cheers
