    Hello, please can someone help me with setting of yaw axis?

    I am building endless rotation simulator. When I am play DIRT3 I have problem with washout on yaw axis (roation): when I have full washout filter set, it take loooong time to wash back into zero,
    can I somehow speedup washing?

    Imagine you turn to right and simulator start turning, that is OK,
    then you go straight, but simulator si still rotating and stoping very slowly, and that is NOT OK.

    very similar problem I have wirh Xplane and helicopter rotating.

    P.S. Sorry for my bad english

    High value of washout will cause lag, not fully tested as of yet, try small numbers and adjusting the % of axis and Min Max settings.
    With Dirt3 have you tried the extra1 DOForce its traction loss, when I get time back in the workshop a drift frame(tractionloss) is the next addition to my seatmover.

    To have the washout return the zero faster, move the slider up in the washout filer for that DOF.

    Traction loss on dirt works perfectly . Now I am trying to get working my endless rotation with flying Sims

    When I apply washout to yaw and flying helicopter they is rotating on place, is not working correctly
