    Best to start your own thread and ask this and other questions there, as this is the welcome thread: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/forums/diy-motion-simulator-projects.22/

    I am pretty sure @Corporatezombie recently set up a Simxperience rig with SimTools, so would be a great person advise you.

    Welcome @fortissimo

    By all means post in your native language, but please 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, though build related questions should be posted to the main threads: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/#international-social-chats-and-conversations.155

    It would be great if you could start your own thread @djkc and post some pictures and a video of your rig, now that you have it running with SimTools. I and other members would be interested in seeing it.

    I'm here to learn how to build a simulator. Preference is 4 axis. I have welding and fabrication capabilities a pair of large rams and capability four 2 more matched as well as a good computer with quad monitor capability and a Kirkey race seat and Schroth harness. Now to gather knowledge and shopping list.

    Welcome @Sean Castner.

    You have come to the right place, there is a really active community here who freely give of their time and expertise.

    You will find plenty to get you started in the FAQs, from design ideas and software to dimension of sims, PSUs, pots, motors, JRKs, Arduinos and Motor Monsters and more: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/

    You can go down either the JRK path or Arduino/Motor Monster electronics path, both have their own sections on the FAQs. JRKs cost more but are easier to set up and offer refined motion control, Arduinos are cheaper and more flexible but take a bit more to wire and configure.

    If something sounds odd then look it up in the glossary:http://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/glossary-of-acronyms-and-names.66/

    When you are ready please start your own project thread here:http://www.xsimulator.net/community/forums/diy-motion-simulator-projects.22/

    Good luck with your project.

    Hello,

    I'm calling patrick and 40 years old french.
    My projet is building 2DOF simulator as fly motion 360° to plane.
    At this time, i have reading about X-sim and Simtools, and, i'm building my project with simtools.

    My first step is building my electronical command (arduino and h-bridge) and connecting with simtools.
    Thansk
