    new user here, just saying HI!

    I have a 2DOF with SCN6 and I'd like to get that running with PCars2 or RaceRoom.
    it seems I need the SimTools with a license and I also need to download plugins separately in order to be able to play anything. did I get this right?
    the SimTools package itself is not useful with any game?

    thanks!

    Welcome @mirel lazar.

    You will find the answers to common questions in the FAQs: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/

    The free version of SimTools includes the fully functional plugin for Live For Speed, specifically for testing purposes, but any other plugin requires a licensed version of SimTools.

    Conditions apply but DIY sim builders can get a free copy of the DIY SimTools license to use with any plugin: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/request-a-free-diy-simtools-2-0-license.262/

    SimTools licenses are also available for commercial and Pro use: https://simtools.us/license/

    Plugins can be accessed via Xsimulator.net by using forum activity coins or real money: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/coins-and-how-to-download-plugins.2/

    Spamming for coins is not allowed: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/forum-rules.9527/

    SimTools (software) and Xsimulator.net (community, including plugin development) are two different things, see here for more information about the partnership and revenue sharing arrangements between the two : https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/simtools-and-xsimulator-partnership-explained.275/

    it is what I thought, thanks!
    my sim is not exactly a DIY as I've bought the rig and actuators and it doesn't apply to the DIY license.
    anyway, your answer clarified it and I understand the business model regarding the separation between SimTools and the plugins now that you've confirmed it.
    I'll most likely acquire a simple plugins package for my purpose.

    thanks very much

    Hello everybody!

    I'm new here, I'm from Germany and I've been planning a 6DoF for a long time
    Platform for flight simulators. And I have some questions for you. I will post this as soon as possible here in forum in my own build thread
    put.
    I've been successfully connecting and testing SimTools with MSPhysics in SketchUp. Elite Dangerous is already connected in SimTools. Currently I am collecting the hardware.

    Best regards

    Welcome @Joseph difusco.

    Have a look at existing member builds, that may help you refine your own project ideas: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/forums/diy-motion-simulator-projects.22/

    You will find plenty to get you started in the FAQs, from design software, dimension of sims, to PSUs, pots, motors, JRKs, Arduino code for Motor Monsters and Sabertooths, plus heaps 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/

    Hello ALL!

    New user here! New to sims/sim racing and looking to build a 6dof in the near future. Ive been scouring over the build threads and believe to be more than able to complete a build. Hope to pick as many brains as possible along the way while sharing my ups and downs (Pun Intended) as well!

    Welcome @SimMeInMD.

    A bit of time researching, particularly with a 6DOF, is time well spent.

    Check out the FAQs, including the 6DOF section: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/

    You can use the custom Google Search box near the top right of the the Recent page to find even more 6DOF member builds.

    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/

    Good luck with your 6DOF project.

    Hello people!
    Im Viktor. I live in Russia, middle Ural.
    Im very happy I've found a place like that! So many useful information!

    Now, I decided to build a simple 2dof simulator, got some experience and maybe made something more cool thing!
    Thank you that You are!

    Hello everyone. My name is Mechromancer and I'm a simaholic.

    I've been simming for a couple of months and I can't stop. But I know with your help I can...wait, what? I don't wanna stop! :p

    Great site. I've already received invaluable help from the members here and, hopefully, in time I'll contribute in a useful manner.

    Hi guys Edwin Gerrits from the Netherlands here. Long time simracer and after building a few DD wheels i now am going the motion way for the first time.
    I stumbled against the "diy-3dof-dbox-style-rig-with-4-x-750-watt-linear -actuators-100-mm" and found it such a nice project that i registered here because that is what i'm gonna build. (fyi 3D prints ordered already)

    Thanks for having me and for this forum

    My name is Omar, I join this community to try to learn about the simulation and continue with a project that started a while ago. It is a 2 DOF that still does not work ... for a short time ...:grin

    Hello guys,
    I'm Ivan from Italy. I built a 4dof simulator, which you will see a tread of in the next days. I was able to build it also thanks to this forum so for this reason I will show you my work in the next days. I'm more keen about the mechanical part of the simulator, while software and computer have never been my strong suit.
    Thanks for having me.
    Best regards.
