    Hello everyone, my name's Paul and I live in Manchester UK. I'm looking to learn more about motion simulation and this seems like a pretty good place to start. Currently use a projector racing set-up with shakers for tactile feedback but I figure it's now time to be a mover as well.

    Hello @Cantsitstill and welcome, have a dig through the threads and see if any designs take your fancy. Also theres a variety of control board and motor options as well.
    Cheers, David.

    You must be wanting to get into my level of racing!! :D Every car I drive is a Lemon, lol.

    Welcome to the forums Bill @wjh308 , I look forward to seeing your project. I am pretty sure I know you from somewhere else but I can't remember. Have you been active in flight sims?

    Ciao ragazzi sono un appassionato di Simulatori e da Più di 6 meni Sono possessore di una Postazione dinamica di guida.
    Il Progetto si basa arduino su moto monster,motori 12v tergicristallo,volante t500 freno a mano, cambio sq / h di mia produzione.
    vi posto il video della Postazione

    Welcome @pippo87.

    Thanks for sharing the video of you simulator. I and other members would like to know more about your rig, can you start a thread here and add some more details and photos:
    start your own project thread here: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/forums/diy-motion-simulator-projects.22/

    By all means post in your native language but please do also include an English translation via Google Translate. It saves other members time trying to work out who may need help and who is just posting a comment.

    We have bi-lingual speakers from many different language group so if Google Translate really messes it up they can help clarify what was intended.

    There is a specific section for native language based social interactions: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/#international-social-chats-and-conversations.155

    If you need any help in setting up SimTools and motion profiles for your simulator then you will find that members here give freely of their time and expertise.

    Welcome @JFEXP.

    Any 360 degree simulator is a complex and costly project, so it would pay to build a working model as was done here: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/prototype-360°-full-rotation-motion-simulator.113/

    If you are using Xsim then you are on the wrong forum, as here we use SimTools: http://www.xsimulator.net/simtools-motion-simulator-software/

    If you are using SimTools then please create your own project thread here: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/forums/diy-motion-simulator-projects.22/

    Feel free to ask questions, the very active members here give freely of both their time and expertise.

    Good luck with your project.

    Another new member here! I'm planning on starting a DIY build very soon, and this has been a fantastic source of information already. I've been poking around the forums for a few days to get some general ideas. I'm a mechanical and electronic engineer, but a motion simulator still will be a pretty major project for me. I'll start a build thread soon as I get rolling on the design.

    hello everyone, I'm new to the forum.
    I'm trying to build my simulator.
    I would advice on a 3 dof.
    how to begin.

    Welcome @massimofarinelli.

    By all means post in your native language, but please do also include an English translation via Google Translate. It saves other members time trying to work out who may need help and who is just posting a comment.

    We have bi-lingual speakers from many different language group so if Google Translate really messes it up they can help clarify what was intended.

    There is a specific section for native language based social interactions: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/#international-social-chats-and-conversations.155

    You will need to clarify what you mean by 3DOF, as it could be with a heave axis or traction loss axis. Once we know which it is easy to point out existing examples for you.

    A good way to clarify what you may like to build is to have a look at existing member builds for ideas and inspiration: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/forums/diy-motion-simulator-projects.22/

    You will find the FAQ section covers many detailed topics: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/

    Hey everyone, just wanted to introduce myself here. I just recently got into sim racing a few months back and threw together a stationary rig with scrap wood I had lying around. I mostly play DiRT: Rally and a few other racing sims, but I'm interested in flight and space sims as well. The projects I've seen of members on here are truly inspiring and I have no doubt before long I'll have my own rig to show off, though I'm sure I'll need a bit of help along the way.
