What's it all mean?

Hi, im new to MX sim, and im having a hard time finding a setup that works for me. I think this would be easier if i knew what all of the options meant. Leveling, Roll limit angle, roll limit factor, All of the advanced stability options- What do they all mean? What do they do for your setup/handling? Can someone explain this to me?

I wouldn't fool with them at first. Just run a fairly high stability setting until you're comfortable and gradually reduce it.

Leveling - How much the bike wants to roll towards vertical.
Roll Damping - How quickly the bike leans over.
Roll Limit Angle - The angle when extra roll damping kicks in.
Roll Limit Factor - How much extra roll damping you get past roll limit angle.
Steering Damping - How quickly the bars turn.
Steering Strength - The force used to turn the bars.
Max Steering Force - The maximum forced applied to the bars.
Direct Steering - At 0, the steering control sets the target lean angle. At 1, the steering directly applies force to the handlebars.
Slow Damping Speed - Speed in feet per second below which you get extra roll damping.
Slow Damping Factor - Amount of extra roll damping you get below slow damping speed.

thanks jvl.

for future reference its "jlv" lol. maybe a typo just tellin you in case

Does this mean more or less like looping out after hitting something a jump theoretically ? Adjusting it would make the front end higher or lower in a sense ?

lol yes. typo. sorry jlv

Roll means the bike pivoting around the bottom of the wheels, left to right.

Not front to back

The stabilizer only puts force into the steering. Think of it as an intelligent steering damper.
