    D7D9CDFB-BE73-4B44-A339-0D1E2439529E.jpeg Hello,
    I recently posted here with great results to achieve motion with F1 2018.
    Unfortunately today I tried to split the Roll axis (65) values between Roll and Sway (32 each) to produce more lateral motions.
    Not only did that not produce more motion, but now all the pitch is gone completely. I reverted back to the original settings (2 axes/ roll 65 / pitch 60). Still nothing. I tried selecting the orange/black boxes to reverse the pitch to see if that was the problem.
    Did not change anything.
    I did try to close the game engine and manager and restart them and also unpatch and repatch the game.
    I don’t know what else to do. I’ll include some pics.

    On a racing game you should be using surge and sway anyway and not pitch and roll to achieve more movement. If roll and and pitch are set properly all you'll ever get is the actual roll and pitch of the chassis.

    Ok, but that doesn’t help solve the problem at hand. Everything worked BEAUTIFULLY the past several weeks until I made those changes today. Even after I changed them back, all squat and dive are gone.
    If anyone can offer suggestions, I’d greatly appreciate it!

    The Axis Allocation is also related to other settings such as the Tuning Center values, you can't just play with one.

    Try following these steps to refine your motion profile, doing one axis at a time, surge, then do sway next, heave, then roll and pitch. Once you are happy with the individual axis turn them all on and tweak as needed: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/steps-to-create-a-motion-profile.228/

    I will have to try that. I was just assuming and hoping that reverting right back to the previous settings would have fixed everything right away...
