I'm also reworking the encoder/button/switch boxes. If it works out, it will be the next level of immersion, at least for me. The build will be an ultra-low budget, just like my 2DOF. I'm very happy how the wooden frame held on, so I will build the 6DOF frame...

I’ve been working on an open-source DIY force feedback wheel project based on the STM32F411.

Current hardware supported:
• STM32F411
• BTS7960
• 775 DC motor
• Encoder or linear potentiometer(b10k is best)

I’m now looking for community testing and feedback:
• bugs
• hardware compatibility
• FFB feel
• game compatibility
• UI/UX feedback]]> 1 Lever Arms for Gearbox Sat, 09 May 2026 18:25:02 +0000 https://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/lever-arms-for-gearbox.19967/ https://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/lever-arms-for-gearbox.19967/ invalid@example.com (Joey Bennett) Joey Bennett Attached Files:

A little SimTools v3 Info:
v3 is a complete, more modern, rewrite of SimTools.
v3 is streamlined, to be easier to understand, with more of a 'pictorial' menu system.
v3 can be used Side by Side with v2. (But not running at the same time.)
v3 is a Free upgrade for all v2 license holders (works with both v2 and v3 licenses)

SimTools v3 combines GameEngine, GameManager, GameDash, GameVibe,...

Many bugs and many locked areas because of them.
Please try carefully, avoid connecting hardware at the start. Test before doing so.

Virus!

So, FlyPTMover is not signed or anything like that.
You most certainly get a warning for virus specially because Mover does some things a normal app is not doing like:
