    Hi Guys,

    well as stated in a previous post we are building a 360deg simulator, but first we decided to start with a simple joyrider style sim to have a bit of a play with,

    after an afternoons work we have so far got a good start on our smaller sim,
    we still have some bits and pieces to add to the frame but we have a start.

    i already have a couple of motormonster controllers and an Arduino, power supply etc to run this smaller sim with a couple of wiper motors,

    shouldn't be too long until we can get some testing underway (if we can obtain simtools)

    You can download it for free and use Live for Speed to do any testing.

    What @SeatTime meant is that the demo version of SimTools is free to download and comes with the fully functional plugin for Live For Speed, specifically for initial testing.

    Agree with @noorbeast and be aware that the plug-in for Elite Dangerous is a moving target that @SilentChill has to struggle to keep up with, so there is no guarantees that it will always be functional when you want to use it.
