more movement for acceleration and less for brakin

hi guys, is there any way to change a setting, so that i can have less travel wile braking and more wile accelerating? thanks

This is a tricky one to do.
I was experimenting with positive and negative values in force 27, when you enable option "split negative". Then try to play with it, smaller positive value, bigger negative, for both motors ofcourse.

I always change just first two numbers of the maximum value, for example if your max value for force 27 is 24973648, to get stronger motion I'll change first two numbers 24 to 20 and rest of numbers stays same.

So when you split pos and neg you will have same max number for both, so first try changing negative max value to smaller number and see what it does.

If it makes your braking even stronger, raise the negative how it was before and lower the positive max value.

...One of the main difference is that the

“Longitudinal force” effect that we will use here we will use it for “braking” as well. Positive Area Maximum and Minimum values here would be used for set “braking”, but as the force needed to reach values like 10 Gs can not happen when braking, this Math Plugin can become exclusive for “acceleration” in Negative Area.



For “braking” you can use the same range values from “acceleration” but you have to swap Positive Area values with Negative Area ones.




In your case you should use a much higher "max-value" for braking - like 5g and a small max-value like 1g for accelerating. Notice if you do like in this example you will need to use the effect 2times per axis. 1time for accel. and 1time for braking effect.

I do my profiles everytime this way as you get much more options to tweak and fine tune the setup.

Great explanation with photos!

I didn't know about duplicating longitudinal effect, thanks

Hi prodigy,

I just copied it from the manual here: viewtopic.php?f=83&t=305
Very useful read for setting up sliders or speed related effects too.
