This article provides a description of the most common haptic settings included in the sim racing game Motion Code Settings panel.

Settings related to Yaw, Sway, Surge
If your platform supports these degrees of freedom (DOF), the settings in this section will affect only these movements. These settings will not take effect if your platform does not support yaw, sway or surge (for example, if you have a 4 corners actuator setup, you do not have yaw, sway or surge).
YSS or Yaw Sway Surge (checkbox) Enables yaw, sway and surge. |
|
Inverted Yaw/Inverted Sway/Inverted Surge (checkboxes) | Inverts the movement of the degree of freedom, left to right or right to left for example. |
Yaw Gain (slider) | Adjusts the overall intensity and amplitude of the yaw movement. |
Yaw Reactivity (slider) | Determines how quick the yaw movement will be; set to a lower level to have smoother yaw motion. |
Angular Velocity/Drift Balance (%) (slider): | Determines the behavior of the yaw motion. Angular velocity is the yaw movement when taking turns and drift is the amount of oversteering . Adjust the slider to have one, the other, or a mix of both. |
Yaw Deadzone (slider) | Sets the size of the yaw’s deadzone. The larger it is, the bigger the movement is required in-game for the yaw to take effect. |
Sway Gain (slider) | Adjusts the overall intensity and amplitude of the sway movement. |
Sway Reactivity (slider) | Determines how quick the sway movement will be; set to a lower level to have smoother sway motion. |
Sway Deadzone (slider) | Sets the size of the sway’s deadzone, the larger it is, the bigger the movement is required in-game for the sway to take effect. |
Surge Gain (slider) | Adjusts the overall intensity and amplitude of the surge movements. |
Surge Reactivity (slider) | Determines how quick the surge movement will be; set to a lower level to have smoother surge motion. |
Advanced Surge (checkbox) | Enables more control on the behavior of the surge. |
Surge Brake Gain (slider) | Adjusts the intensity of the surge’s braking motion. |
Surge Accel Gain (slider) | Adjusts the intensity of the surge’s acceleration motion. |
Settings related to the SimTag brake pedals
If you see these settings in the Motion Code Settings, they are exclusively for the active brake pedals from SimTag.
Brake Pedal (checkbox): Enables haptic feedback on SimTag haptic pedals. |
|
Brake Pedal ABS Vibration (checkbox) Enables a vibration based on the ABS for haptic pedals |
|
ABS vibration intensity/power (slider) | Adjusts the intensity of the ABS vibration in the pedal. |
Detection Threshold (slider) | Determines a threshold at which the ABS vibration will start. |
Low Frequency (slider) | Sets the low frequency limit of the pedal vibration |
High Frequency (slider) | Set the high frequency limit of the pedal vibration |
Brake Pedal Engine Vibration (checkbox) Enables brake pedal engine vibration. |
|
Brake Pedal Engine Vibration (slider) or Intensity (power) | Adjusts the intensity of the brake pedal engine vibration. |
Engine type (dropdown) | Defines the engine cylinder configuration for vibration characteristics - select "Automatic" to use game defaults or choose a specific cylinder count. |
Custom RPM (checkbox) | Enables manual configuration of engine vibration parameters instead of game defaults.
