    @Milton Amaya , 3 monitors, no way is that thing going to run 3 monitors.
    Not sure these days, I stopped at the GTX590, but if you are looking at new cards, probably well over $500 for a graphics card that can run 3 screens sufficiently.
    Maybe someone else can advise here.

    At the moment I consider the Nvidia GTX 970 the best bang for your buck and it can run triples, in fact it can support 4 screens, and it will run AAA games at high settings or the Oculus Rift.

    The GTX 970s come with different output port configurations, depending on the manufacturer, so just check to ensure you have 3 the same.

    The original CXC simulator is 24 inches wide and mine is 21 inches wide i guess i will need to install the motors outside, also my motors are from a electric wheelchair so they are big in size alot of torque and very slow, i am planning on using the JRK 12x12 Motor controller but i will need to buy new motors.

    Does any one knows what motors should i used?

    You can follow @eaorobbie's guide and use the suggested settings as a starting point: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/playseat-to-2-dofseat.5401/page-2#post-56352

    @bsft provides an introduction to JRK PIDs and then goes on the explain SimTool settings in this handy guide: http://www.xsimulator.net/community...-set-up-simtools-jrks-and-write-profiles.112/

    All motors and rigs are different so if you want to really fine tune your JRK settings learn how to use the built in JRK graph and follow the tips here, particularly @Avenga76's handy video tutorial near the bottom of the page: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/a-laymans-analogy-guide-to-pids.7649/

    I would recommend mounting on the side's to get the angle's you want/need.

    The cxc also uses SNC5 actuators so the angle for those is a bit different then the gear type motor. I would also recommend moving those out. Another thing that you will notice is how much your seat will move side to side at idle with the pitch that steep. Spreading them out allows the weight to settle and they will feel more locked in.
