Hello everyone,

I am a long time lurker, simrace lover (Mainly Dirt Rally 2.0, Assetto Corsa these days), who finally decided to start a DIY, after using an old G25 for almost 10 years. I was inspired by many projects, but I found the idea of tomthomas21 interesting and went with the Toyota DC engine and an Arduino Leonardo. Also using EbolzMagy 's software.

In real life I am a safe driving trainer, I have co-driven in rallies and drove quite a few cars on road and track. I am also building a RWD rally car.

Hope to make the diy work and add other things like led's, handbrake, shifter etc.

Hello all!!
I'm Rolando, from Chile.
Reading a Facebook group someone recommends joining this community.
I have read a bit and impressed with how much knowledge can be found here, is awesome.

The first rig I build was back in 2008, with a G25 an old Toyota seat that I found in a dump yard. I build it with metal. Actually, I learn how to solder building that rig. I have built 5 more rigs, the last one made of wood (just wanted to make a prototype and make test with it before building something in metal again -you really can't know if something is comfortable to you until you try it-).

About me, I'm 42 I don't feel or think that I have too many DIY skills but I try, I don't have advanced knowledge about electronics or computers. I have build myself my daily driver (a 2003 golf GTI with about 600 whp, yes is useless.. didn't know what I was doing when I start building it.. but seems that I have more luck with big stuff than small stuff).

I have some experience at different tracks here and in some close countries, I usually drive a Rotax DD2 (not mine). I have drive some great cars at

I would like, in the next years (2), to build a rig with motion (I think I have taken the vibrating motors and the transducers t the limit), something that makes me feel the g forces of the turns, bumps, braking, etc

I hope that in the future I could help and add knowledge to this community!

I also like to ride bikes (downhill), run (when my kees let me do it), swim... and once in a while.. drive my car like I stole it...

Cheers to all!!!

Hello everyone

My name is Raúl and I live in Murcia, Spain, I am a computer tecnician and I have always liked “home” electronics. Since I met Arduino I have done some mini projects to learn how to use it. Almost all the projects have been to annoy my cats, hahaha

A few days ago I was organizing the storage room and I found an old Logitech steering wheel and pedals with feedbak for ps and pc. Thinking that I could do with them I found this magnificent forum.

Since I saw the forum I have not stopped searching and reading about the construction of an economic 2DOF to learn and hopefully get to a 6DOF.

Also and thanks to the TV series "forged by fire" I have learned to work with metals, welding, cutting, hammering, I already make my own knives!

As I have said before, I already had several components to use and experience with computers.

All this has made me decide to start the project and I hope to start documenting it and uploading it to the forum in order to help people like me and also receive some help ;-)

I send you a very big greeting and a lot of hope and strength in the face of COVID.

Salutations! After many weeks of lurking and reading I've designed my own 2 dof racing sim. This site has so much information that at times it's overwhelming!

I look forward to feedback on my design and learning... so... much... to... learn.

hello everybody !

I'm Chris from switzerland. I m glad to be here. Most of the time i drive sport and collection cars but i also enjoy simulation. So thats why i m looking for a complete DOF3 system (or more) for driving (not to built) during the winter and more....so what a lot of information we can find here : it s amazing
So if someone have a equipement to sell even in second hand, send me a message.

Thanks and have a good day

Hi everyone!
I'm Daniel from Hungary.
I plan to write my BSc thesis work from racing simulators, as a mechatronic engineer.
I don't really know where to start, but I find this site extremely helpful.
Cheers!

Thank you @noorbeast !

I'm already excited!

Hi everyone!
I'm Chris and I am from Australia. I am a mechanical engineer and have been into racing games for a long time. I initially started to design a rigid simulator but after I found this site I couldn't help but redesign it to be a 2 DOF rig.
My electrical knowledge is low, this made me excited to learn it but also put all my mechanical knowledge to the test. I have been a member for quite a few months, reading multiple threads and learning everything i can from this helpful community. I am almost complete with my simulator and i have taken photos and documented along the way to help anyone that stumbles across my thread. I am very excited to share it all!

Hi,
I'm from Poland.
I'm a new member of xsimulator.
I like electronics and cars: WRC, F1.
I would like to say hello to everyone and express my appreciation for the enormous amount of knowledge provided in this forum.
For several weeks I have been making a project based on the Racing Mat idea.
I already have one question, but I will not write it here (I will create a new post).

Hello to all! I'm Ivan and I was so focused on making my rig a motion sim that I forgot about this! Nearly there! Best help you could get for that is here! Thank you!

Hi, I'm Joseba and I'm from Basque Country. I have the prototype built and working. It is pending tests and configurations, when I have a better finish I will upload some photos.
