I just bought a cheaper 150w 12 channel moving head light and needed some help getting mine setup since my manual doesn't look anything like yours. It's really confusing as it says X and Y fine. Any helo would be appreciated. Thanks

Unfortunately this setup does not seem to work or apply to all beam fixtures. All works fine until you begin importing begin importing sequences and there are orientation issues immediately with certain fixtures. Could be just me but the more expensive Hydro Beams and Elation outdoor fixtures require tons of tweaking. This seems to work with the cheaper or lower end lighting fixtures.

Every fixutre is going to potentially have different orientation (And sometimes direction) of Pan/Tilt. It's not really correlated to cost. The Remap channels dialog in the DMX effect of xLights now allows you to offset or scale channel values individually, which can get you there :)
