    I just bought a Chinese 6dof, I need help to convert it and be able to use it with assetto corsa and iracing, I have seen some information but it is very old and I would like to find someone who knows what the options are that I have, I attach photos of the controlling parts as well as the actuators.

    Thanks

    I have been doing something similar with a different Chinese system myself. can you show me a wider shot of the machine? I want to see if I recognize it.

    Oh wow that's NICE!

    Your system is more modern than mine but there are some clear similarities.

    I'm pretty sure what you're looking to do is replace their proprietary controller with a new one that is more compatible with the modern home systems. It's the secret sauce that links the game computer and the drivers (the long rectangle boxes) that then tells the motors what to do.

    The one I've used and LOVE is the Thanos AMC.

    I happen to have this pic of it in my rig handy, here's a link to their store.

    It's expensive and there are other manufacturers, but I can say first hand this one solves the hardest parts of a conversion. If mine broke I'd buy another.

    I'd check that out if I were you and see if it's what you're looking for.
