Hi guys, I've been playing around with getting a smooth movement in my driving games.

I'm using a Wii mote and for a long time I've been using average of 20 and smoothing of 100 in the profile and 100 in the global settings.

While in most games this is great its a little jerky in iRacing. Tonight I've played with average of 3 and smoothing of 200 in the profile and 200 in the global settings.

This seems very smooth with only the ocassional jerky motion. I wanted to throw out a question to more experienced users though, is there anything wrong with this setting or is too much smoothing?

Thanks in advance

Fred

Whatever works best for you is the best setting. Personally I find the settings you posted a bit unresponsive. I stick with:

In profile:
Average 2
Smoothing for each axis 20 (default)

Global:
Smoothing for each axis on 100 (default)

If your fps is lower or you have lots of jitter you'd probably want to use more. I get 30fps and 5 jitter. For me these settings are smooth and very responsive.

Also depends on the game. In IL2/Falcon I want to be able to make rapid head movements to keep track of where everything is, which means big fast glance movements. My eyes tend to dart around a lot taking glances at different areas. So for those games responsiveness is important.

In racing games however the range of motion is much smaller. I mostly use freetrack for mirror checks and don't take quick glances over the shoulder as i do in flight sims. So extra smoothness is nice there since it keeps your view a bit steadier and the responsiveness doesnt matter as much.

Cheers,

Thanks, with the wii remote I get 100fps but lots of jitter so that might explain it.
