    Ciao ragazzi, sono qui di nuovo, sto usando X-Sim e sto impostando la dinamica 3DOF su RBR, ma non riesco a trovare e preparare buoni Plugin. Qualcuno mi può aiutare o mi puoi dare consigli?

    Welcome @Tagda.

    Doing some research and planning is time well spent, and the community here can help you out as you formulate your ideas about what you want to build and even where you can source parts from.

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

    You can also browse through the commercial rig section: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/forums/commercial-simulators-and-peripherie.52/

    For a DIY project 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/

    Feel free to ask questions, the members here give freely of both their time and expertise.

    Good luck with your project.

    Please be aware that you can dual language post but it is part of the Forum Rules that you also include English, doing so via Google Translate is fine: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/forum-rules.9527/

    I have done that for you this time, Google Translate:
    Hi guys, I'm here again, I'm using X-Sim and I'm setting the 3DOF dynamic on RBR, but I can not find and prepare good plugins. Can someone help me or can you give me advice?

    Your questions should really go here: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/forums/new-users-start-here-faq.62/

    But to answer briefly I don't knao about X-Sim but SimTools has a RBR plugin here: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/marketplace/richard-burns-rally-sse-plugin.77/updates

    My partner and I were having the conversation the other day about motion simulation and how she would love to build something like that, as she's really into flight sims. I took it as an opportunity for a new engineering challenge, and started doing some research. After stumbling around the Internet for a few hours, I came across the Stewart platform design and said "that's it! that's what we need to build!" Having a basic idea of where to start researching on the hardware, I started looking for software; that's when I found this forum. This is why I love the Internet. If there's anything cool, someone way smarter than me has already figured out how to do it way better than I will ever be able to. I lurked through a lot of the build logs on here, and decided to sign up and start asking questions. So, over the course of the next few months, I'll probably be doing that and I'll try my best to document my own project for anyone else to learn from the inevitable mistakes that I'll make.

    I guess my first really big questions are:
    • Is anyone doing this with Linux? (I don't own anything running Windows)
    • Is any of the control/interface software open source? (SimTools is the joint project of this forum, but it's only supported on Windows)
    Also, thank you so much for doing that acronym glossary. That has already cleared up so many questions of "wtf does *that* stand for?!"

    I've been considering buying a license for SimTools just to try to run it on Wine and see how well it works. I'm curious as to what other options are out there.

    I didn't want to start a build thread without having any real plans to present.

    You can download the free test version of SimTools for testing with Wine, it comes complete with the fully functional plugin for Live For Speed, specifically for testing purposes.

    It is helpful to create your own thread, even while testing and kicking around ideas. The community here gives freely of their time and expertise, plus if you are trying different things then we can all learn from that.

    Google Translate:
    Good Hello, I'm from Spain and I would like to set up a simulator with 3 engines, 2 that move the seat and the third engine that simulates the loss of traction. I hope to receive and give all possible help

    You will need to create your own build thread and post your questions on it, as this is the welcome thread: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/forums/diy-motion-simulator-projects.22/

    @pedro henrique gomes you should open your own thread, this is just to introduce yourself.
    Also, you'd better write in English in order to get help (and because of, you know... rules)
