Are YOU a NEW MEMBER? Introduce HERE!

Bonjour à tous,
je suis de FRANCE, de MARSEILLE plus précisément. Après avoir fabriqué moi même un petit simulateur statique avec FAM et dashboard, je souhaite passer au dynamique. Je m'éclate surtout sur Dirt Rally, mais je crache pas sur les autres simulations. Je préfère quand même quand ça bouge, alors pourquoi pas passer sur un 2DOF ou 3DOF ,
Moi connaissances sont minimes mais je progresse tous les jours.
Alors à bientôt !

bonjour a tous
je suis dans l'expectative pour la realisation d'un playseat motorisé 2 ou 3 dof a l'aide d'un micro arduino (je ne sais pas si cela est possible)
je ne sais pas si je devrais m'orienter vers une carte monster moto ou une sabertooth et voir récuperer des gearmotor de clio
en attendant des conseil avisé je vais continuer de lire les post

Hi, im new here. I want to run my butt kickers, I do no know to run in xsim

I'm afraid you cant at the moment but it will be supported in simtools v2.0

Hello and greetings from Poland!

My name is Adam and as probably everyone here I'm a huge fan of virtual racing. A few years ago I made a static rig, wich I use untill today. Unfortunately for my wallet and free time I stumbled across this site and decided to build something more advanced. Now I'm planning to check how the SimTools work, using a few servos connected to arduino. If I'm satisfied with the results I will try to build something bigger Right now I'm wondering whether I should build a 2dof or 3dof rig. Have you got any ideas? I'm not scared of welding or electronics and thus quite open for suggestions...
Also I'd like to point out that it was a great pleasure for me to read about the projects on this forum, I hope one of them can give me inspiration as I continue to look through them.

Im Adham eu sou novo para esta comunidade

Olá amigos, eu sou novo aqui. Eu sempre gostei de simuladores de carros e montei minha cabine com um G27, mas sem movimentos, e agora eu estou modificando a ter movimentos 2dof, em breve vou postar fotos

สวัสดีครับผมเบ็นสมาชิกใหม่

OK, time to make this official. I've been lurking here for quite some time, reading, collecting ideas, slowly letting the plans coalesce in the back of my head. Well, the time has finally come for action!

I'm a driving sim guy, primarily iRacing and a little bit of Dirt Rally. Spent the last couple years building and then tweaking a static sim. For me, (as I imagine it is for many here,) playing with the rig is every bit as enjoyable as the driving itself!

I'm think I'm leaning towards a shoulder mounted seat mover, but I kinda want to play with a D-Box style, 4-corners design, too. I figure I'll start small, though, and just add traction loss to my current 80/20 rig. It'll make a good platform for either future build, and maybe once I get a better handle on how all the pieces work together, it'll give me a better idea on which direction to go.

Thanks to everyone for the inspiration, and I look forward to picking your brains further!

Hola a todos..!!!

Hi all,

I just joined as I've been inspired by the new VR technology to build a motion simulator to use with it. I'm a former computer designer (Sun Microsystems SPARCstation 1 was my baby) but now I design & build race cars. You can check out my Formula 1000 racecar at LudemannEngineering. A Formula 1000 race car is astonishingly violent to drive, and after driving one I can't even imagine how fast a Formula 1 car must be. I used to think I knew what "fast" was until the first time I floored my F1000 car. Nothing I've ever driven even came close to preparing me, and I used to drive a heavily modified Porsche 930 and Formula Ford race cars. F1K cars corner at well over 2G's and brake at over 3G's. So I've got to get used to the speed and get more skillful to prepare for driving the real car. I'm thinking along the following lines:

1. The goal is to totally fool my brain into thinking it's driving a real Formula 1000 race car. Everything else is secondary.
2. VR only
3. Huge swings: as close as possible to +/- 90 degrees in both roll & pitch
4. Possibly also combined with a seat mover?
5. Cost not so important; real tires are $1000 per set and only last a couple of hours
6. Not for games. Extremely demanding is a plus; In my real car sometimes I could only do 6 laps before I couldn't hold my head up anymore. I expect to use it wearing a helmet, driving suit, everything. The real car takes ALL my strength to turn the wheel in a high-speed corner. The car appears to have no limits. Only the driver has limits.
7. It would also be nice to be able to turn it down and give normal people a taste of what it's like to drive a real racecar. I'd also like to be able to use it to get the real feeling of driving legendary cars like the 917-30 or Moby Dick.

With all that in mind, I need some pointers as to what direction I should take. This site is huge and it's hard to figure out where to start. For instance, there's probably simulation software that everyone knows is the best. I understand Project Cars has a Formula 1000 car...

Thanks

Hello my name is Jocke, im from sweden. No particular skills just the right interest. My plan is to build a 2 dof motion build. Ill start a new post with my build later on.. Have a good day!

Hi everyone, I'm new here, I'm from Brazil and I'd like to add a motion sim into my racing experience.

Cheers Roberto.
