Hello Guys I am Sam From Pakistan

Hello,
This is my first post. I am a newbie, just completed 2 DOF build utilizing SCN5 100mm, Universal seat motion kit and 8020 profiles. Have not fired it up using any game yet as I am still looking for more info on setting up the Axis properly. Both actuators are fine in testing. Now where do I go about finding more info. Any tips on setting Axisfor my setup? Please point me in the right direction.

Regards

Hello From Spain we have a 2dof simulator home made only have to fine eh software
we have project cars on ps4 udp and simtool

Hi,
I am new to this site and very enthusiastic about building a 2DOF flight simulator.
They will use 'Arduino with 2dof. Now I will experiment with small servomotors.
Then I build the real simulator.
Hi everyone.

Hi
I'm Tom and I'm from cold Switzerland
I built a lot of electronics projects in the past and dreamed a few days ago from a sim and found this project the next day .
As I'm bringing in experience in electronics, I decided to build a 2DOF seat myself.
Until now, I built up a "demo" model with Lego and an Arduino and two servos, which is working like a charm. This is thought for learning purposes. As I work as a programmer, I thought about creating my own plugins.

Next steps: buy 2 wipermotors for the next experiments

Greetings
Tom

Hi Tom, welcome and also nice greetings from Switzerland. On xsimulator.net you will find a bunch of information, especially in the FAQ. Wish you good luck with your project and hopefully we will see your rig in action soon!

Hi to all existing members!

My name is Alan, aka RandomCoder. I have +20 years experience in engineering with a degree in Electrical & Electronic Engineering. I specialise in machine automation. Anything to do with Distrbuted Control Systems (DCS), PLC's, industrial robotics and machine vision interests me. I'm very fortunate in that my work is as much a hobby as it is a full time job.

To relax from a busy day at work I chill-out with a games like Project Cars or Dirt Rally. Last year I built myself my first water cooled PC and have been really happy with the results. This year it was my 40th and I treated myself to a force feedback wheel and pedal set. It's only a Logitech G920 but I'm happy with the added level of immersion. Being married with three kids and two dogs I have a budget to work too!

Whilst researching the wheel I stumbled upon XSimulator, and now that I have found that it is possible to extract game telemetry I'm eager to build a simulator!!!

I've spent most evening for the past couple of weeks reading through posts and finally decided to sign up and get started. Still not sure exactly which way I intend to go although space is probably my biggest constraint (at least until my eldest son moves out ), and after that it would be cost.

So I'm thinking a 2DOF with the design intent to upgrade to 3DOF later. Although I've read a few posts about G-Seats and they sound particularly interesting. However I'm not sure I'd trust sitting in my own G-Seat for fear of broken ribs.

Well that about sums it up so hopefully I'll be posting questions and maybe even a few answers in the future.

Thanks,
Alan

Greetings everyone! Excited to be here and get started with planning and building my first motion simulator.

Open to input and eager to learn. Thanks!

hello everyone


my name is christophe I'm 24 , I live in France . I'm a newbie in the simulation , for the moment I have a simple playseat but later I would like create a dashboard with an arduino .

sorry for my english but i hate the translator i prefer try with my knowledge


good game an see you soon

Welcome to the world greatest simulation community
Just for information I'm not a native English speaker but I still survive even as a moderator. Take the chance for learning English while building a simulator. Both is worth the effort.

Greetings everyone.

I'm an avid SimRacer, and was a early VR tester and adopter. I saw a couple videos of rigs members have built and was blown away. I've always considered myself adept at DIY stuff, but I'll admit I was a little overwhelmed upon finding this community. Are most of the people here engineers by trade or training? As someone who's purely a self-taught hobbyist, I'm wondering if I have the chops to do something like this.

Before I jump into a build and bite off more than I can chew, I was thinking I'd try and build a scale-model of a simple rig. I figure that way I can get my head wrapped around the basics. Anyone have particular advice on where to start or parts to use for something small?

Thanks

Hello,

I rarely write anything on forums - kind of a lurker here - but after starting with doing DIY stuff I got completely sucked in, which may result in me being active user for once
Right now I'm in the process of buidling my first 2DOF tailored to be useful in VR - if things go good I'm going to finish it in next few days. It's basic wiper motor setup which I treat mostly as "learning material" made without any cad program etc - already found out how to improve my next build and did some mistakes [chinese MM clone for example] which will be easy to avoid in next build. After finishing current build I'm planning to start with either 4DOF or 6DOF actuator based project - depending mostly on funds and free time.

As for now I can only say thanks to everyone who shared projects here, you've been a godsent while planning how to build this thing !

Hi guys.
My name is Garry from the bonny northeast of Scotland and a new member to the site. I have a real hankering to build a motion sim rig for racing titles but am a real newbie to this game and for that matter to forums and posting stuff etc.
I stumbled across this site searching for simrigs and control software and have been overwhelmed by the amount of info and assistance available.
I intend spending a few weeks checking it out then forming a plan for the build.
I look forward to taking part in the many discussions on the site and bouncing ideas off of the more experienced builders amongst you.
Cheers.
