    Hello,

    I will present my simulator which is still in the prototype stage because I do not know if it 2DOF concept will satisfy me.

    The principle of this simulator is simple, I simply articulate the folder instead of the complete seat.

    I use wiper motors, AMC 1280USB and Sabertooth.

    Here are a few photos is better than a long discourses

    Nice work there @Vboull, the slide away pedal tray is really neat :thumbs

    It would be great if you could also detail information about your wheel, shifter and handbrake, as there are many members here who are very interested in DIT peripherals.

    Very nice and clean design, so compact and nothing superfluous. Agree with @noorbeast more details are welcome.

    My wheel is the same as that on this tutorial : RFR steering wheel - direct drive by RacingMat (sorry i can't post link)

    For the handbrake I use that, it is not perfect but it works well in the meantime

    I have just changed housing, my simulator is currently in spare parts. Currently I work on my steering wheel because I just passed on the simucube and it does not work.

    I would not miss making a video as soon as it will run under simtool 2 ;)

    I just finished reconnecting my simulator, I lost my old tuning axis, it is better to use the pitch / roll or sway / surge?
