Richard Burns Rally (Next Gen Physics) / PT Actuator - Thanos

Below is the motion profile for Richard Burns Rally (Next Gen Physics). There is only a General Tuning as RBR NGP doesn't support individual vehicle tunings. Versions utilized below:

• RBR NGP Version: RBRCZECH_VR

• Tracks: RBR_TRACKPACK_CZECH

• NGP Version 6.4.759.432 (2020-12-27)

• FixUp Version: 4.4.39.97 (2021-04-05)

• RBRCIT - RVR Car Installation Tool (v1.2.0)

Files will not be shared on SRS

Note: How to run RBRCZECH_VR in non-VR mode: Rename d3d9.dll to d3d9.off; and in the Plugins folder, rename RBRvrConfig.dll to RBRvrConfig.off.

Platform Tuning

This motion profile was created on a PT Actuator 6DOF Simracing Platform (150mm: 7 Actuators (2 Front + 2 Rear + 2 TL + Surge). Since all motion platforms can be slightly different, please use the guidance below or utilize the quick tuning guide here for quick adjustments or the full guide here for detailed tuning information.

4 Vertical Actuator Tuning

Sway, Surge, and Traction Loss is converted into pitch or roll for platforms that do not have horizontal actuators. Since these motion profiles were created on a platform with horizontal actuators, the tuning(s) could result in excessive pitch or roll on platforms without horizontal actuators.

IMPORTANT: For an axis that does not have a dedicated horizontal actuator, it might be necessary to reduce the Effect Slider for Lat G Sway, Long G Surge Accel and Long G Surge Decel, or Traction Loss by 60% to mitigate excessive movement. For example:

• If no Sway actuators, reduce the Sway Effect Slider from 10 to 4.

• If no Surge actuator, reduce the Long G Surge Accel/Decel Effect Slider from 16 to 6 and from 18 to 7 respectively.

• If no Traction Loss actuator, reduce the Traction Loss Effect Slider from 18 to 7.

Actuator Size and Mounting

These motion profiles were created on a platform with 150mm actuators with the Front to Rear Vertical Actuator spacing at 1290mm and the Left to Right Vertical Actuator spacing at 745mm. Actuators placed closer together or are larger than 150mm will increase the angle of pitch and roll. To mitigate the increase of motion if needed, reduce the Effect Slider for the impacted effects or reduce the Max Angle.

MDBOX Tuning

Due to built in smoothing effects for MDBOX, it may be necessary to reduce the Effect Smoothing by 50%. Surge, Sway, and Traction Loss may require Effect Smoothing to be removed completely.

Max Angle

These motion profiles have balanced to allow for the increase of Max Angle and Max Horizontal to 100 (unless noted otherwise). This will allow for the maximum movement capabilities of the vertical actuators. However, if less motion is desired, reduction of the Max Angle will reduce overall motion while still retaining the balanced effects.

CAUTION: This motion profile might have more roll than expected. Please ensure you have enough clearance from your monitor stands (if utilized) at full roll. You can perform a test in SRS via the Motion Test Motion feature in SETUP > Hardware. Otherwise, lower Max Angle to reduce overall motion.

Reverse Surge

These motion profiles were created with the surge actuator reversed. This will cause the platform to move forward when accelerating and backwards when decelerating. To reverse the surge actuator, please follow the tutorial here.

Spike Filter

The motion profiles have been tuned to a Spike Filter setting of 3600. If more feeling is desired when landing from jumps, increase the Spike Filter to 4500; however, any crashes or driving errors will be extremely jarring.

IMPORTANT: If you have downloaded the motion profile from the SRS Cloud Share, it will utilize your default Spike Filter settings. If you do not increase it as indicated in the motion profile, your Spike Filter may engage often and motion will feel muted.

Multiple Tunings for Richard Burns Rally (Next Gen Physics)

Unfortunately, RBR NGP does not export the name of the vehicles in telemetry. This makes it impossible for SimRacingStudio to automatically load different tunings for different vehicles. However, utilizing the ability for SRS to import/export tunings, a user can create multiple tunings for RBR NGP by following the process outlined here.
