SeatTime's DC motor Sim

Just run LFS on the DK2, and all I can say is wow. It still needs more resolution, but the presence you get with the positional tracking is amazing.

6dof and oculus is a nice sidetrack

Ciao e grazie per la risposta
Con un potenziometro multigiro da 5 giri riesco a fare una corsa di 40 cm ?
In giro trovo solo potenziometri multigiro che fanno 10 giri tipo questo http://www.ebay.it/itm/POTENZIOMETR...nenti_elettronici_passivi&hash=item4171239c7f può andare bene lo stesso ? se non va bene per cortesia puoi mettere il link dove lo hai comprato quello che fa 5 giri.


Hello and thanks for your reply
With a multi-turn potentiometer from 5 laps I can do a run of 40 cm?
In turn I find only multi-turn potentiometers that do 10 laps like this http://www.ebay.it/itm/POTENZIOMETR...nenti_elettronici_passivi&hash=item4171239c7f can fit the same? if not good please can you put the link where you bought what he does 5 turn.

Cosa significa DK2?

What does it mean DK2?

Google is your friend (First entry on top: "DK2 is the latest development kit for the Oculus Rift…")

Ah ecco adesso ho capito quello che ha scritto SeatTime beato te che hai anche Oculus Rift deve essere un esperienza unica
Grazie @value1 di solito faccio sempre una ricerca su google quando non capisco qualcosa ma stavolta non ci ho pensato
Però dico io già si fà fatica a capire quando viene tradotto da una lingua ad un'altra poi ci si mettono anche le abbreviazioni... siamo apposto noi


Ah here now I understand what he wrote SeatTime Blessed are you who also Oculus Rift has to be a unique experience
Thanks @value1 usually always do a search on google when I do not understand anything but this time I did not think
But I say already gets hard to understand when it is translated from one language to another then we bring you even abbreviations ... We are affixed to us

Because I originally used rubber wheels to drive the surge and traction loss tables I used a separate wheel connected to each pot to ensure it did not slip. 5 turns worked out fine for my sim and wheel size, but 10 turn could also be used, just do the calculations. I order most of my pots etc through Element 14 in Aus.

I ordered late on the first day, so it cannot be too far off for you. Will be interested to hear your comments coming from the DK1. I still think that it still does not have the resolution especially for a racing sim, were you need to look in the distance, but it is surprising how well you can still drive it due to the immersion. My son and I were like 'wow just WoW' when we first tried it - it really feels like you are in a real car. I certainly think it is the way of the future for gaming and lots of other things - but still needs polish. To think not too long ago to build a sim with capabilities like this would have cost Millions$$.

Quindi, se uso un potenziometro da 10 giri non dovrei avere problemi, credo che una volta impostato il Min. e Max. della corsa, anche se non sfrutto tutti i 10 giri del potenziometro (per esempio) uso solo 5 o 6 giri dovrebbe andare bene lo stesso. Poi, se non dovrebbe andare bene come detto in precedenza, metterò un pignone più piccolo sul motore in modo da sfruttare tutti i 10 giri del potenziometro. Non sò se il mio ragionamento e giusto, oppure no.

So if you use a 10-turn potentiometer should not have problems, I believe that once you set the Min. And Max. Race that I need, even if I do not use all 10 laps of the potentiometer (for example) use only 5 or 6 laps should fit the same. Then, if it does not fit as I said earlier, I will put a smaller sprocket on the engine in order to exploit all 10 laps of the potentiometer. I do not know if my reasoning is correct, or not.

I ordered my rift in June so I'm not expecting it till October at at a guess. I was hoping the resolution would be good enough for racing games.

Have you tried P3D yet @SeatTime ? And Asseto Corsa ?

I'm away on my holiday for a month soon so won't have long to wait for my rift when I get back got a lot of tweaking to do to my sim.

I have uploaded a video of my seat heave module for those that have asked, the lighting is not the best, but you can see the levers working under the seat.

thats cool man.

that video makes me want to order another motor or two.......

Finally got Rift DK2 with DCS World and motion (latest plugin) sorted (new computer) and I cannot get over how totally realistic it is. Love how you can turn you head and line up a approach to a runway or target like you would in a real plane and the new motion plugin is epic on my sim. Anyone getting a DK2, try DCS World, you will not be disappointed especially with motion. I can see all you flight sim guys moving over to VR in the not too distant future.

What's a story without the video - DCS World. Unfortunately the impact of VR is hard to convey with any video.

The surge table works the same in motion as a proper 6 DOF (possibly with even more travel), so it feels good/realistic (FYI I also have a bit of surge dialed into the seat with no filtering for those small quick movements - like when firing the F15's canon). What I would like though if building a flight Sim is more heave, ideally moving the whole frame (expensive$$), but the seat heave module still does a good job with the Rift even through it was designed for a car sim.
