This project and its documentation are still works in progress. You might encounter bugs or crashes, and documentation sections will be updated as the project progresses.
Using MotionCab alongside hardware head-tracking systems (TrackIR, Tobii, OpenTrack, etc.) can produce excessive or doubled-up head motion. You may need to disable some effects in Configuration for the best combined experience.

In-game settings
MotionCab needs full control over these camera channels — if the game's own options stay on, they stack with MotionCab's effects and feel doubled or exaggerated rather than more realistic.
For both ETS2 and ATS, disable the following camera options in
Options > Gameplay:
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Uneven surfaces simulation | 0% |
| Steering camera rotation factor | 0% |
| Steering camera rotation on reverse | Off |
| Physical camera movement | Off |
| Physical camera factor | 0% |
| Interior camera horizon locking factor | Off |
Disabling these settings ensures that MotionCab has full control over the camera.

Upgrade
SPF Framework notifies you in-game when a new MotionCab version is available, but it won't install it for you.
To upgrade, extract the new archive into your game's bin/win_x64/
folder again, overwriting the existing files in the MotionCab folder.
Your settings are preserved.
Uninstall
To uninstall, simply delete the MotionCab folder from
your game's bin/win_x64/plugins/spfPlugins directory. This completely
removes the plugin.
To also remove the SPF Framework, simply delete the following file and folders
from the plugins folder:
