    Hello my name is Rober and write from the Canary Islands - SPAIN.
    I have many years with simulators since the time of GTR and has always liked me my cockpit.

    I have read some POST of this community and I learned a lot. Now I would like to make my contribution with a tutorial video of my cockpit.

    Greetings.

    PS: Sorry for my English, I use translator

    Welcome @Guy Baz and @RobVene.

    @Guy Baz there is a Project Cars plugin that uses UDP to get data from a PS4, though a computer is still needed for SimTools: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/marketplace/project-cars-udp-alternate-plugin.159/

    You will find plenty to get you started in the FAQs, from design software, dimension of sims, to PSUs, pots, motors, JRKs, Arduinos and Motor Monsters and more: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/

    We have a glossary for all those acronyms we tend to use, which will help you decipher some descriptions: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/glossary-of-acronyms-and-names.66/

    When you are ready please start your own project thread here: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/forums/diy-motion-simulator-projects.22/

    Hi, first time poster, noob in this hobby
    Looking to build a moving simulator - like the chair with the 2 poles at the back and 2 motors creating the movement that looks the way I may go/
    from what I've gleaned thi is called 2DOF ?
    Still undecided on a single large curved screen or 3 screens
    I'll read the FAQ now before I'm flamed :)

    Great work all those out there that had had great success.
    Looking forward to getting going now.

    thank you for the welcome -
    I have found a fabricator that will build the steel frame for circa £ 200 along the SimExperience frame design so thats a result! just got to draw up my plans ( when I find a suitable seat for the dimensions)

    Can anyone tell me the name of the fixing eye that secures the rods on the 2DOF . its appears to be free floating to allow movement but I cant for the life of me find its name so I can order some.

    thanks again
