    Hi all, xsim newbie here,

    I have a DIY 2-dof rig, running SMC3 + FTPM. I use it for flight simming.

    I'm considering getting a Dof Reality rig (primarily for the adjustability, my rig is fixed wooden).

    The thing is I really like FTPM as the motion software. In particular the 'pose from motion' pose which does return-to-center on steady roll or pitch.

    My question is, can I get this behaviour from the Dof Rig?
    - does Sim Tools have similar capability?
    - can FTPM be used with a Dof rig?

    I would hate to spend loads of money on a commercial rig, and not get it to behave as good as my diy rig.

    thanks
