    Hi, I´m going to make a new motion sim. First, sorry for my poor english. Now I have a 2dof and I´m going to jump to 6dof one. I love the Peacemaker desing and I´d like to make a similar one. But I have some doubts. I like the hexapod very much, but, what is better to simulate, hexapod like Peacemaker desing or SFX150 improved (double TC and sway) The use will be 80% cars and maybe 15% planes and 5% roller montain. I know that the hexapod needs more space, but I have enought space (only with the doubt of the height). Will both designs give me the same sensations when driving? Or is there one better than the other for cars? . I´m going to buy 7 servos and the Thanos controller. I can build an hexapod with belt tensioner or the improved SFX150 without belt tensioner. Thanks in advance
