    please tell me if it is necessary to buy a simhub license or can you use it for free instead of simtools, for example?

    Wotever is a single guy, developing all this on his own. I believe there's a trial mode, but it's worth the money if you can afford motion you can afford the one time cost to get simhub+motion license

    I live in Russia, we don't have the opportunity to pay with pay pal or visa here. that's why I'm asking if I can use it for free

    Go on the discord and ask Wotever if he can work something out... Unfortunately only trials.

    I still don't understand how much the license costs, does it start from 7 euros? Is this for how long?

    You need two Licenses: First one is for SimHub (you can choose how much you want to pay here, I guess it starts at 5 or 8€. However, the Software is fantastic and you can show your support by paying more).
    Then you need a license for SimHub Motion which costs 35€. Both licenses are lifetime licenses.

    Best,

    Ben

    tell me, which is better than simhub or simtools?

    for me, I prefer simhub, this software is much more complete, you can put dashboards on screens, it is also very simple to use the wind simulator, vibrations on the pedals...

    can simhub control the platform, wind and instruments at the same time?

    Both can do somewhat similar things, though with different strengths and weaknesses, somewhat following their development trajectory.

    SimHub started with peripherals, so dash, transducers, wind sim, and tactile vibrations, but motion is a very recent and hence somewhat constrained addition. SimHub caters to and shines when it comes to simplistic DIY integration.

    SimTools started from telemetry driven motion and then added a whole bunch of other functionality, dash, tactile vibrations, wind sim, transducers, parasitic and telemetry race harnesses, RC and video driven motion simulation, all aimed at a flexible DIY community. SimTools has the greatest scope and capability, but at the expense of less plug and play but far more user customization/tweakability, including supporting a diverse range of hardware.

    yes you can, however you have to use arduinos to control the different elements

    on the other hand in terms of movement, you are limited with the number of axes (not possible to have 6 axes)

    Just a note, the SimHub constraint is not just limited with the number of axes (limited to 3DOF), but further the scope of that, you can't have a 6DOF + a G-Seat, dash, windsim, telemetry driven harness, as you could with SimTools.

    But it is not really and apples to apples comparison, each has its own strengths and weaknesses, as I have noted, somewhat contingent on the development focus and associated use case/flexibility requirement.

    at the moment, I am building a 2dof, it is a g-seat, since I plan to make only the chair movable. What advice would you give me to a beginner in this business? you have a lot of experience behind you, please advise me it's not about money, since both options are not worth a lot of money

    It is hard to say without fully appreciating what may be your own personal goals and priorities.

    A 2DOF is a great intro, regardless of the system that may be used with it, I guess that key factor is how far down the potential associated rabbit hole you may go, what hardware you want to use and what degree of user scope/flexibility you what to have?

    Simhub supports 6DOF but not in Stewart Platform configurations, only 4 corners + dual TL + surge
    You can also use a g-seat (though simcommander is godawful software), you can run windsims, and it also supports belt harnesses that work via open protocols. QS-BT1, G-Belt, etc, are currently closed ecosystems, and have to be run alongside it.

    As I said it is not really and apples to apples comparison, though counting actuators is not DOF, 4 corners is 3DOF.

    I was thinking more of this type of simulator...
