    Jovens, tudo bem!
    E esta é minha Primeira postagem, eu estou Construindo um simulador 2dof com motores de para-brisas (modelo racemat). anteriormente eu estava usando o software X-Sim mas achei aconfiguraçao meiu complicada, então fiz o download do Simtools e estou vendo que é bem mais simples. Estou com o seguinte problema: como faço para mudar o jogo no game engine? eu tenho instalado o Race Driver Grid mas no download só tem opção do LFS. Se alguem puder me ajudar, agradeço desde já!

    Young, fine! And this is my first post, I'm Building a 2dof simulator with windshields engines (racemat model). previously I was using the X-Sim software but found setting set Meiu complicated, so I downloaded the Simtools and I see that is much simpler. I'm having the following problem: how do I change the game in the game engine? I have installed Race Driver Grid but the download only option is the LFS. If anyone can help me, thank you right now!

    Hi Everyone,

    My name is Ryan. I am 24 and own a custom auto shop. I am getting into Virtual Reality and want to create a motion simulator for racing/flight/space games for a VR Arcade I want to start. Does anyone know of any good simulator kits on this site that take you through step by step how to put a simulator together and and the software needed to tie it together with future VR games.

    I'm new here, I have used the old x-sim 2.1 few years ago to build a race simulator.
    Now, I would like to try the SimTools on my new start building flight simulator.
    I'm building a platform with Pitch, Roll, Yaw using AC motors.
    Since now, thanks everybody!

    Young, good afternoon. see if you guys can help me, I also built my simulator and I am with the following problem:
    Everything works fine until I connect my g27, then the computer stops sending data to the Arduino simulator. I'm using SimTools software and a single computer. Already checked the doors and no conflict. Someone had a problem like that?
    Thank you very much in advance !!

    hi all,
    I purchased 2 set of Fanatec sim wheel base, steering wheel, pedals and shifter and plan to build up a rig side by side. I plan to do a DIY, not sure how it's going to look - i plan to use 80/20 extrusions. Nice meeting you all, hope to contribute to this community as well.
