If I may point a few things out, lots of very skilled pros donate time on this board to help people, getting nothing in return. This board is a GREAT resource when looking for input on specific failures/events that one could run into on all the various platforms and conditions. Even I have been known to search for answers on here or even ask a few "dumb questions" from time to time. I'll also wager that I have steered more people towards their answers than almost anyone else here.
Not only am I an experienced pro, who has done this as a living for a few decades, I'm also the teacher to a lot of people on here. I can 100% sympathize with the frustration that comes with people demanding your expertise that was hard earned and paid for over the years for free because "it's for the good of the community." Everyone loves it when pros give free, accurate advice but few like to actually pay for it. Sadly, as good as my training material is, this market doesn't pay me well enough for it to make it the only thing I do. All too often, I run into people who feel like my advice should be free and complete all the time. Try that with your doctor, lawyer, or accountant and see how far you get. Just because I build speakers as a hobby does not mean that a sound engineer owes me free consulting on setting my DSP, even though I know a LOT about it from engineering school and practice.
So, back to the point: @edcmat-l1 does not need to divulge anything here if he doesn't feel like it. He will also get limited help as a result from the mind hive here. He knows this, and was likely hoping someone saw something obvious that he was overlooking. He's a big boy, he'll deal with it. There are other educational/consulting resources out there that he can tap for help, of which I am only one of many. Solving this will likely have him going back and adding more data to the discussion one way or another. Torque based controls don't usually do things randomly, there are just lots of layers to the onion. It's a game of elimination sometimes to figure out which layer caused the event. Internet forums are not always the best place to do this.
