    Welcome @Jo3.

    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 software, dimension of sims, to PSUs, pots, motors, JRKs, Arduinos and Motor Monsters and more: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/

    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/

    How compact do you need your project to be, some simulators a quite small including my own?

    Good luck with your project.

    Bonsoir a tous
    Je m'apelle Franck,38 ans et passionné d'aeronautique.
    Je construit depuis 2009 un simulateur d'Airbus A320 grandeur réelle.


    J'ai comme projet depuis plusieurs années de le mettre sur plateforme 3 axes avec motoreducteurs.
    Je voulais tester Simtools mais je n'arrive pas a telecharger de Plugin pour Flight simulator 2004.
    Si quelqu'un pouvait m'aider.
    Une petite video du simu parmi beaucoup d'autres sur ma chaine youtube:FCOQUA

    Welcome @fcoq, that is a really detailed simulator you have built.

    Please start your own project thread here and add some more details and some pictures of your simulator, particularly concerning the 3DOF construction, as I and pother members would be most interested.: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/forums/diy-motion-simulator-projects.22/

    By all means post in French but on the main threads please 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

    The Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 (FS9) Plugin is here: Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 (FS9) Plugin

    To access all plugins you will need to purchase a week access package from here, I have given you enough coins to do so: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/shop/

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

    I look forward to seeing more of your impressive simulator.

    Thanks @noorbeast

    I saw your simulators and are very nice and clean !!
    you have done a spectacular job well done!
    thanks for the advice, while I ask information to understand the whole thing, it scares me the electronics, mechanics not so much ..
    I opened a discussion to understand how to find my way ... thank you and excuse the translator
