    Hello all,

    my rig is made of 2 actuator (snc5 150) positionned in a standard position behing the seat. A third actuator is located behind the seat transversally (left to right).
    SEE pic below

    my question is as follow:
    what are the effect you give to this 3rd actuator for traction loss
    yaw?
    extra 1 ?
    Yaw +extra 1
    also do you add sway (yaw + sway ) or (extra 1 +sway)

    or at the end only one effect ?

    It seems to me Yaw gives the best effect if used alone

    give me some tips please
    thanks IMG_0354.JPG

    I use a little bit of sway and extra 1 for traction loss. Don't use yaw at all, as I am not interested in the heading of the car (don,t have a 360 sim) just the forces that were applied to the body in getting there which are covered by the other Dofs.
