Are YOU a NEW MEMBER? Introduce HERE!

Hello,

Jimmy, 41 years old from Nancy in Lorraine (France). I discovered simracing during the first confinement by wishing to offer my 9 year old son (now 11 years old) a steering wheel and a racing game. I bought the ACC and an entry level steering wheel. The son didn't understand, but I did Very Happy. I have since developed the Wink configuration.

Computer: Intel i9, 32 GB 4800 MHz, RTX 3080Ti
Steering Wheel: Thrustmaster TS-XW
Crankset: Thrustmaster T-LCM
Screen: Samsung Odyssey G9
Chassis: Playseat
VR headset: Oculus Quest 2 (I disagree).

I put Bass Shakers and Motor Shakers on my chassis, but my future project would be to make myself a chassis in aluminum profiles and put the seat in motion. Hence my interest in your forum.

Looking forward to reading you. I might have a lot of questions before I start.

Hello,

I'm Paul from the Netherlands.

Getting back into simracing after selling my playseat 2 years ago.

Bought a secondhand simlab chassis and getting started into motion sim.

I building an active seatbelt tensioner at the moment and planning for a 3dof afther that.

For my rig i run:
-80-20 simlab gt
-lcd seat
-sabelt 6point harnes

-Fanatec csw 2.5
-Fanatec csl elite pedals with loadcell
-Fanatec p1 rim

-home made seq shifter (feels really good and mechanical i wil make a thread from the build)
-home made handbrake (button operated for now but wil update to loadcell in the future after i learned to program)
-home made 7 and reverse Hshifter (feels really good and mechanical i wil make a thread from the build) its based on the Frex h shifter design)
-home made dash from old sony phone running dashpanel and build a nice case around it

-Msi 27inch 165hz screen

-home build pc specs:
*Gigabyte X570 gamingX
*AMD Ryzen 5 3600x
*Corsair 850w
*Gigabyte RX5700XT Aorus 8G
*Samsung SSD M2
*2x 16GB 3200 RGB pro veng.
*Cablemod sleaved cables
*NZXT Kraken x63 watercooler


see my thread for the build DIY active seatbelt tensioner (xsimulator.net)

I'm looking for someone who could help me getting programmed the arduino for a steppermotor and running simtools please read my thread.

Looking forward into the motion control and using the forum

greets Paul

Well, here we are. RJ from New Jersey. Car fanatic, tinkerer, racer, lover of techy stuff. I've been waiting for this for most of my life. Ever since I saw the first motion rig at the arcade, I said I need one of those at home. The internet racing has finally developed to the point that I felt the need to get involved and the sim tech has finally gotten away from feeling like a toy. It is time. As I type this my 3dof rig was just just dropped off on my doorstep so here we go. I know nothing about motion rigs. I'll be reading a whole let here. I did kinda punk out and get a DOF rig to try at first because it wasnt too pricey and I'm already so far over my head in trying to get one to work, I wanted to skip the fab stage... for now. I'm quite sure I will regret it at some point. I reached out to a vendor to figure out what gear to start off with and I ended up with Simagic. I wanted some lower end stuff, but no so low end it felt like I was playing Indy on my Genesis. Again, I don't know but I may regret that too. Computer is a 3080 machine that seems up to the task and the monitor is a 49" G9. My biggest fear is not that I won't get it to run, I will with some help from here, but my fear is that the whole thing is going to make me sea sick. Probably should have tested before I jumped in but in case you haven't figured it out I just go wide open and hope for the best. Never good advice in life or racing but its been a fun ride for sure. I do thank you all for having me and I hope someday to be a contributor to the site and not just a user.

Hi all, I’m new here. I have a little real world racing experience in RX7s and KTM X-Bows. I Just got an insanely good deal on a CXC pro motion 2 simulator. Gonna gave tons of questions soon as I’m finding the car steering is extremely twitchy when I tried out Assetto Corsa on it this morning . I’m in southeastern North Carolina, USA.

Hello everyone,
we are two students from Austria. We are 18 and 19 years old and love to play video games, watch TV and go outside. For a school project we are building a 2DOF motion simulator. We attend a technical school, but motion simulation is new to us. We want to use old truck wiper motors to build a 2dof motion simulator.

That sounds great! We will defenetly check some other projects out.

hi guys I'm new to this group I from Canada working as automotive tech.. and starting to build my own Sim Rig my first part that arrived is Arduino Uno

Hello,
I am a teacher from Belgium. Found this place and seen amazing things here.
I am hoping to make my own 2DOF, my own buttkicker and if there is time left... haptics.
I love flightsims and I hope that what I learn here I can use for my students.
Looking forward to start.
Can somebody point me to must see threads for 2DOF, buttkicker and haptics ?
Thanks for having me around.

Hello everybody,
I live in Italy and I've completed my static DIY cockpit for Flight Simulator.
Recently I entered the VR side of the simulation and feel like that's the way to go for me...so I already started to purchase the electric-electronic components I need for assembling a 2DOF motion platform.
In the meanwhile, I am designing it with Sketchup.
This community is a great source of inspiration and information, thanks to all of you!

Hello everyone,
I live in France, and I've recently buy a kit for a 3DOF simulator, and I want to create a kind of G seat on top of it...
I'm mainly playing with DCS world, Dirt Rally, and other space and flight simulation !

Seeing all the nice projects and this nice community, I think I'm in the right place !!!

Hello, I introduce myself.
My name is Javier and I just installed simtools with your license but I need to download the plugins for the games. How can you get the coins?
Thank you very much
