Are YOU a NEW MEMBER? Introduce HERE!

Hello
i am new member and i am trying to make my simulator, a 2 DOF.

This is a new guy here from China ,and just interesting in SIM racing.Used I play with a xbox controller ,now I want to build new stuff to have more fun .Ths

Welcome @matrix0059 ! I just got my simulator running, and I can tell you it makes a huge difference! Getting a force feedback wheel was a big step forward, and made me wonder if it was worth it to make a full sim. But now that I'm actually experiencing the motion (my first time in any race sim with motion) it is absolutely awesome!

Be sure to start a build thread here if you start making your own!

Hi all, new in the forums, I´m overwhelmed by all the information that can be read in here... my knowledge in electronics and mechanics is limited but with all the interesting articles in the forum I hope to start a 2DOF soon. nice to meet you guys.

Flying Falcon BMS, want to make a home cockpit, now 80% done. and looking for "something" able to build the gauge with arduino.

thank you all..we are good society...i hope can help each other in this group...

indeed, first objective to get 250 coins. lol

you can get it by post whatever you do...you give your idea, sketching, drawing, coding or so on..you can get it..good luck..

Hi Guys,

I am building a flight Sim for DCS that will be a small 6DOF base inside of a 2DOF Gimble that has 360 continuous rotation in pitch and roll.

Been researching it for a year now.

I am having trouble with DC Motor power vs Motor torque and how to make the selection. Does anyone know of a thread that addresses this?

@noorbeast your in Tasmania? I am in Melbourne. Would you be interested in chatting at some point.

Nice to meet you Nasrollah and welcome to XSimulator.net

Then I will introduce myself sometimes. My name is Christian and I am 45. Since my Father vending machine is, I grew up with arcade machines. Therefore my Racer looks a little different. I hope that this translation is somewhat understandable since they with Google was created.

Second is a older picture.

@nasrollah the best thing to do is to read the threads on the forums and then develop an idea of what you want (based on space, budget, etc). Create some type of plan and then create a build thread here on the forums to ask questions.

Good luck with your build, I look forward to seeing what you come up with.

Hi, I'm new to forums, I´m overwhelmed by all the information and videos that can be read and watched in here... my knowledge in electronics is limited but with all the interesting articles in the forum I hope to start a 2DOF soon. nice to meet you guys.
Parts here in South Africa are not available or very expensive to import so any ideas are properly studied and appreciated. Still don't know how I am going to afford the coins to purchase Simtools

Hi @ll,

my Name is Michael, i´m from Germany and 35 years old.
I came across this forum and the whole 6dof subject after a long gaming night in Elite Dangerous. My friend posted a video of some motion sims and we discovered there are X-Sim plugins for Elite, too. Few videos later i discovered SilentChills excellent work and since then i´m sold to the idea of having my own 6dof motion simulator. I read SilentChills build thread and several other success stories and decided to start sourcing components for my own project and here i am. Comes the time when you need help from friends with knowledge, i hope to find friends here who can help me out now and then ;-)

My Background
Currently, i have 1,8 Children as my second child is still in the making and thats also my excuse for only making small steps on my projects (haha). Well, first comes family i guess.

For the last 10+ years i worked as a turner and miller on various CNC-machines, have access to a wide field of different manufacturing tools. I have a little experience in DIY, basic understanding of Electronics but am happy to learn new things. 3D CAD is done with Inventor Professional 2011 an i have a Rigidbot 3d Printer in my basement.

With this Printer i collect the first XP on Electronics DIY since i had to mod it with a 3rd party Mainboard and PSU. The original died on Power up :-D.

Any questions feel free to ask and please turn a blind eye on my english skills. Working on that aswell

cheers
Michael

@Robbie Teengd , dont panic about coins collecting. Its simple, start a new threads if you have an idea as to what design build you would like, even submit a picture of something or a sketch of what you would like to build.
Then DO NOT spam everyone's thread, be patient. Even reading a thread or scanning through it will give you one coin. Asking proper questions on other threads will add coins. More or less in a week, you could potentially rack up over 250 coins without much hassle. Thats what I did.
If parts are not so cheap and or not available, have a look around. Personally I am going the JRK route as I am useless and impatient at coding. Granted they cost more, but look a heck of a lot easier to set up.
There is the arduino and monster moto driver option. But it needs using an existing code and or needing someone to modify it. Well, thats what I have read so far. But unless you keep blowing them up like I have seen some members, it should be a bit cheaper. Still, Im a newbie and yet to finish my sim and add JRKS, so hopefully I dont not nuke them first up.
otherwise, just take a bit of time going through things, take notes and move forward.
Cheers, Andrew.
