Instruccions de funcionament
Understand the core technologies that power your PXN VD6 and how to maximize your racing experience.
Direct Drive Force Feedback System
The VD6 utilizes a direct drive system with a 20-pole low-inertia servo motor, delivering a continuous torque of 6 Nm and a peak torque of 7 Nm. This provides a crisp tactile response and precise control.
Figura 5: Detallada view of the low-inertia servo motor, highlighting its advanced multi-pole architecture and segmented stator for smooth, stable force feedback.
- Funcionament suau: Innovative stator segments reduce cogging torque and minimize micro-vibrations for fluid acceleration.
- High Resolution Feedback: A 24-bit magnetic encoder generates approximately 46,603 pulses per degree, ensuring precise motor speed tracking.
- Real-time Processing: A custom multi-core processor ensures real-time force feedback and steering response without latency.
PXN Sense+ Algorithm
The PXN Sense+ algorithm refines force response for a more realistic driving feel, incorporating vehicle-specific force profiles, dynamic terrain reactions, and real-time chassis telemetry.

Atenció General
- Mantingueu el dispositiu net i lliure de pols. Feu servir un drap suau i sec per netejar-lo.
- Avoid exposing the base to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight.
- Ensure all cables are securely connected before and during use.
- Do not attempt to disassemble the unit, as this will void the warranty.
Resolució de problemes
If you encounter issues with your PXN VD6, refer to the following common solutions.
- No Force Feedback / Weak Force Feedback:
- Ensure the power adapter is securely connected and the base is powered on.
- Check USB connection to the PC. Try a different USB port.
- Verify force feedback settings within the PXN SimRacing software and the game itself.
- Update firmware via the PXN SimRacing software.
- Steering Wheel Not Recognized:
- Ensure the steering wheel is properly attached to the quick-release hub.
- Restart your PC and the VD6 base.
- Reinstall the PXN SimRacing software and drivers.
- In-Game Issues (e.g., incorrect button mapping):
- Calibrate the wheel and pedals within the PXN SimRacing software.
