    Hi guys,

    Long time lurker first time poster here...

    Finally bit the bullet and have built and SFX-100 rig running via Thanos's board. (So something good has come of bein stuck at home during lockdown).

    Everything is going great and I'm getting into tuning the rig but one thing I can't fix is the startup speed. When I load a game if the rig is in park it literally tries to launch me into orbit. I have tried adjusting the 'startup and resume' and 'shutdown and centering' sliders but they have no effect. It's got to the stage where I start the game and brace for impact...

    I get a similar 'jump' when pausing or unpausing a game albeit it's back to the standby position so less severe.

    Anybody got any suggestions?

    Cheers

    So turns out I am an idiot.
    I'm using the full 7 output board... with an old firmware.

    Updated to 2.10 fix 6 and all ok!
