FlyPT Mover

It's not possible right now, but it's going to be in the future.
Here's a glimpse of what should be Mover 4.0:

You can handle any value, mix it anywhere, and use conditional modules....
Still to much work to do, but it's a complete revamp.
That yellow graphic is a sinusoid with horizontal shift defined by another sinusoid and amplitude by the derivative of that same sinusoid.
So there's no more filtering on one value, in the new version, we add whatever we want and use the value we want in the parameters of all operations.

Is Mover 4.0 will be node based? Or is it just some internal structure exposed for the explenation?

Anyway, can't wait to see that filter. It will be a GAME changer (pun intended).

Totally node based

Hi Guys General Question so have to say sorry if this is already out there, Ok Her goes , I Have re-configured my 4DOF SFX stsyle sim to now use only 3 Actuators ( 1 up Front - 2 At rear ) this seems fine and getting good feelings whilst using it as racing simulator ..

i am also trying to set this up for Flight simming ( my actuators have 150mm max working travel with 20mm buffer) . try as i may i cant get what i call decent flight sim motion ..

Everything apperently works as it should and im still trying various filters combinations to maximise Actuator travel , again its as though each actuator is approaching the requested position but too quickly and rapidily changes direction to next position request without any damping effect close to requested traget vale , if you like to me it feels sort of like Bang - bang Motion as it approachase target value rather than smooth to target and smooth away to next position request ....

Can i ask anyone using SFX type actuator with Mover for Flight simming to possible share there mover setup file so i can try to understand where im going wrong ..

As mentioned this system Inc FlyPt Mover is great for Racing sims but im having brain fade trying to get it working better for Flight sims
Thought i had this sorted once i did the cars but im missing a trick with aircraft setup Cheers Guys

What controller are you using?

what is your transition time from air to ground ? What are your heave gains and filters ?

I am pretty sure you can get a result which fits your expectations

I am watching this with high interest. My plan is to build a 3-actuator 8020 rig like wannabeaflyer2 has. the goal is to use it for sim racing and flight simulation. Planning on a Thanos Controller with 200mm strokes on the actuators. The stroke would be dialed down for sim racing and increased for flight simulators.

I am thinking this is possible.

Hello, I'm new in this forum so let's introduce myself and my project first.

My first name is Olivier, 56 years old, Sofwae engineer living south of France.

6 years ago I have build my first Flight Simulator, an Airbus A320 dual cockpit scale 1 running P3DV4.5, Jeehell A32O FMGS suite. Rendering is made with 3 video Optoma GT1080i projectors on 220° 4m diameter screen wrapped with FlyElise Immersive Display Pro.

Seing all amaising projects and experiences on motion platforms, a year ago I have decided to build a rotary 6DOF for my Airbus.
After lot of reading (in particular on xsimulator) studies and drawing, my platfrom is almost finished.
It is made with 6 NMRV90 warm gearbox 100:1 together with AASD15A servo driver/110ST-M06020 motors. All is controled by the great Thanos AASD15A board. My Platform structure in steel for the base and top triangle, Aluminum for all moving part on the top.
My top platform with cockpit/380 diameter 220 degrees round screen is Around 550Kg (so 700kg with 2 people).
A week ago, I have started my first test with FlyPT mover which was to me the best choice for such project. I'm really impress by this software which is great, clear and very customisable.
So big big thanks and congratulation for the creator.

Now I have still some work to do to finallize my project and install my cockpit inside.
I have already done a baseline profile on FlyPT mover. All is running fine, platform is moving but will need to fine tune in the coming weeks.

I have few basic questions on FlyPT mover:

1) I'm loosing arround 5 FPS when I run FlyPT mover on my P3DV4.5 PC (I7 at 5Ghz with 1080TI GPU). As I run P3D in between 20 and 40 FPS depending location, loosing 5 FPS is a lot. So is it possible to run FlyPT mover on a remote PC ? I'm quite sure it is possible with SimTool but I would prefer to keep the P3D FlyPt native inteface that provide much more informations and services. If it is possible, is there a documentation that explain how to set it up (maybe via sim connect ?). Have not found any topics on that subjet.

2) I have started to configure custom pose filters (for Flaps, Landing Gear and motors) but have not tried yet in live. If anyone have experience on any kind of pose profiles for 6dof fly simulator, it wouldbe great to get your feedback/experience/profiles.

3) I don't get any info from P3D plugin for the wheel position. Is it implemented for P3D?

Thanks a lot for your feedback,
Olivier

The main problem in P3d is the Main telemetry. Let’s face it - It’s old and it’s not consistent from the point of view of motion data. We worked a lot to get rid of the most annoying problems.

- inverted impact on landing
- the lack of centrifugal force on lateral acceleration
- no occupant position for airliners
- no ground roughness
Etc.

Ask questions if you face problems, I’ll try to give you some advise

Again, really sorry for not being here the last weeks.
Been really busy at work.

@Olivier beaujoin , to increase performance, minimize Mover to tray to avoid interface updates, might be what is eating the graphic resources.
All UDP sources can work remotely in another PC, so you can put an extra PC just for the rig a receive the data via UDP (not the case in P3D, but it might be solved in the future Mover 4.0).

I'm still making updates to release Mover 3.0.
But with the help of my son, we are developing Mover 4.0.
We are laying down the ground to what I hope becomes the almost unlimited Mover version.
But that one has still a long way to walk...

Hello @hexpod! Thanks for the feedback. Follow my current settings. See what you think.

Exciting to hear of the new version in the works. Couple of requests if I may.
- Shortcut key or better joystick input to stop/start a specific source rather than just all sources
- If its not a lot of work I'd love to see a source for Orbiter space sim http://orbit.medphys.ucl.ac.uk/ it is somewhat old though can be improved with the dx9 graphics plugin, however it is the best 'realistic' space flight sim we have at the moment.

There is a plugin which allows output of many flight data parameters to a text file so hopefully these could be grabbed in memory to use as a source.

Thanks again for all the amazing work

Please attach the config file so we can open it

Thats my preset

Aside from the question of landing, I would also like I the surge and pitch mix to be more effective. The slope of acceleration and deceleration is still not good. If I increase the pitch "position" a lot, it gets "weird" with the variations of the runway. Also, I saw that if I decrease the Heave, it improves the efficiency of the serge mix, but it worsens the sensation of the runway shake, landing, etc. If I increase the heave, the sensation of acceleration and deceleration worsens. If you want to suggest changes to the profile I sent, feel free. I'm still a little lost, in these combinations, and even in the filters.

I’ll look in your config file this evening

Thank you so much!

This is what I could get with mover.



Are you using a specific aircraft add-on ?

hi ...it's possible to have a little help for my SyRen 50 motor drive?..tks

No, Im using the default Xplane Airplanes, and on my profile, if I land at 100 feet per minute or 400, it doesn't make much difference and in real life, if I land at 400 feet per minute I can break the plane. Here the biggest difference I see is in the longitudinal (if a change the transition to ground), that is, if I land faster or slower. If I land at 400 feet per minute but it is fast, the landing will not be so bad when I land slow and 100 feet per minute. Did you understand?


If you want to change my profile and send it to me to test, feel free.
