    Hello everyone,

    my name is Giovanni and I am the owner of the VRLab sorry but I don't speak English and Google Translate will help me.

    The VRLab opened last year and is involved in Virtual Reality on many fronts to 360 ° on our site you can find all relevant information, we will also build motion platforms and currently we have a project for a 3DOF platform.

    We want to use X-Simulator for our development, thank you all from this moment for your support.

    Thank you.

    Welcome @juan_l.

    You can duel post in your native language on the main thread, as long as you include and English translation.

    We have bi-lingual speakers from many different language groups so if Google Translate really messes it up they can help clarify what was intended.

    This is the Welcome thread, so please stat your own project thread here to post information about your AC simulator: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/forums/diy-motion-simulator-projects.22/

    I and others will look forward to following your project progress.

    Welcome @amr.

    You have come to the right place, there is a really active community here who freely give of their time and expertise.

    You will find plenty to get you started in the FAQs, from design software, dimension of sims, to PSUs, pots, motors, JRKs, Arduinos and Motor Monsters and more: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/

    If something sounds odd then look it up in the glossary: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/glossary-of-acronyms-and-names.66/

    When you are ready please start your own project thread here: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/forums/diy-motion-simulator-projects.22/

    Good luck with your project.

    Welcome @Luciano merlino.

    When you are ready please start your own project thread here, I and others will look forward to hearing and seeing more of your 2DOF project: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/forums/diy-motion-simulator-projects.22/

    I am guessing you may mean haptic feedback from pedals, in other words transducers. SimTools 2.o is in Beta testing but will introduce transducer support. If you mean something else then there is a pedal peripherals section in the FAQs that may be useful: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/race-pedals.61/

    The information in these "walls" is incredible. I think I will kick off with a 3DOF racing setup. I am thinking of using actuators that will be built by myself (thx to other members on this forum). 300mm stroke with a hybrid servo drive (NEMA 34 steppers)

    Welcome @lebron and @Bacdaibang.

    We have a 6DOF FAQ section that may be of interest: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/6dof.22/category

    There are many other useful FAQ sections, like for using SimTools itself: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/simtools-settings-tips-and-tricks.18/category

    If something sounds odd then look it up in the glossary: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/glossary-of-acronyms-and-names.66/

    When you are ready please start your own project threads here and ask your questions on your own threads, that way all pertinent information is in the same place: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/forums/diy-motion-simulator-projects.22/

    Good luck with your 6DOF projects.

    Hi, new to this site and simulation.
    I found this site while searching alternative for SimVibe, I am planing to use it for just bass shakers no motion (don't have the budget for that). Is it possible with this software.
    Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this, but like I said tottaly newbie.

    Welcome @Stickys.

    SimTools 1.3, the current version, does not support transducers, but SimTools 2.0, which is in closed beta testing, will add new functionality such as transducer support, called Game Vibe: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/simtools-2-0-question-and-answer.8175/

    The core testing for the new SimTools framework is nearly complete and once it is the developer @yobuddy will concentrate on the extended features, like Game Vibe, which will be in active development even after SimTools 2.0 is released.

    Here is some early transducer testing by @eaorobbie: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/aura-shaker-ast-2b-4-with-bk-g2-amp.6981/#post-80343
