    je suis ici avec mon nouveau simulateur qui se déplace.
    seulement ici est qu'il ne bouge pas avec tous les jeux qui me plaisent moins.
    Je espère trouver une solution ici.

    I suggest you opened your own thread where people could better follow your project and help you with any problems.

    Hi guys, brand spanking new member here. From Melbourne Australia. Come to basically, learn and be inspired to build 2 motion Sims, one for me, and one for the old man (Dad). He's semi retired due to cancer. But a mad racing nut, he has a wheel but gets annoyed mounted on the table/desk. So I'm wanting to encourage something he'll enjoy. Now... I must get reading.
