Ability to configure the acceleration test(F6) for fine tuning.

Example:

This will be part of a larger rework of the calibration tool.

Really sorry to ask, but I will really would appreciate this feature, then you have some ETA in mind ? If you need beta tester i ll be happy in doing it.

It is low priority because I'm not sure many people will understand it and use it. Counteracting temporal acceleration would require at least one more translation parameter. Without any extra parameter the user will have to make a compromise, which may be somewhat disturbing.

I am thinking about adding 3 calibration modes:

Each mode will have a number of steps, and only one step will appear on-screen. Having only a few parameters on-screen leaves space for on-screen instructions. One ctrl+F key combo will enable a specific mode, and F keys will allow to select the value to edit in the current step, and also to navigate to the previous and next steps.

As you can see, this is a lot of work. It will not be in the GIMX 6.0 release. Maybe it will land in a minor GIMX 6 revision.

Nice ! I'll wait for that, at time im talking with my brother, he have progammer skills too and we are trying to video capture movements and see what move in game and what should be moved and translate the ideal movement to a virtual device or using gimx network api.
