    Welcome @LAK132.

    I am presuming this is a DIY 6DOF project and if so please start your own project thread here and provide details of your hardware: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/forums/diy-motion-simulator-projects.22/

    If it is a commercial rig then provide the same details but in a new thread in the commercial section: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/forums/commercial-simulators-and-peripherie.52/

    I will be looking forward to finding out more about your 6DOF rig.

    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/

    Hello DIY motion sim gurus,

    I am your fresh meat for today. I will be immersing myself in these forums for a bit to figure out what I am capable of given my budget and technical knowledge constraints. Looking forward to stumbling along with my first build in the next couple of months and learning with all of you. Cheers!! Also, kudos for the site and community you have here. Superb job!!!

    Regards,

    Jim

    Welcome @Bassaisho

    A bike simulator is challenging as you can lean but outside of a centrifuge don't have a way to simulate sustained centrifugal force, see here for ides and discussions: https://www.xsimulator.net/communit...lator-good-or-bad-idea.5323/page-2#post-75688

    Hi there,
    My name is Filip. Not much to say here, 30 yo sim racer. Started with G27 attached to my desk. In 2 years time I moved to CSW V2 , CS V3 pedals, and SQ shifter. All mounted on GT omega rig. Pretty happy with that but Im planning to get some bass shakers and control them via telemetry software rather then with sound. Hoping to find some answers here.
    Thx

    Welcome @EizoCX.

    SimTools 1.3, the current version, does not support transducers, but SimTools 2.0, which is in closed beta testing, will add new functionality such as transducer support, called Game Vibe: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/simtools-2-0-question-and-answer.8175/

    The core testing for the new SimTools framework is nearly complete and once it is the developer @yobuddy will concentrate on the extended features, like Game Vibe, which will be in active development even after SimTools 2.0 is released.

    Here is some early transducer testing by @eaorobbie: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/aura-shaker-ast-2b-4-with-bk-g2-amp.6981/#post-80343

    Welcome @Albert.

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

    You can duel post in your native language as long as you include and English translation.

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

    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/

    Welcome @Claudio Bello.

    Using Google translate is fine and if it really messes up there are often members who are bilingual that can help translate.

    Please start your own project thread here and tell us a little about your RC model: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/forums/diy-motion-simulator-projects.22/

    There is no plugin for Sonic, but if you are keen enough you can create one: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/how-to-write-a-plugin-for-simtools-api-documentation.131/

    Good luck with your project.

    Hi,
    I am a new member of this forum and have just started using Sim Tools for a flight simulator project. Initially we have chosen Wings of Prey as our base simulator and intend to move onto other Sims once we get the hardware running with this.
    It would be great if someone can advise me why I am unable to see any data from Wings of Prey in the Output Testing - Virtual Axis window.
    I am using the plug-in for this game designed by Prilad. Game Manager shows as Connected and Game Running. Game Selection is Wings of Prey, Profile Selection is Default. On the Game Engine, Axis Assignments are selected as Wings of Prey under the Game List and I have loaded the default and saved the settings. I have not done anything with the Interface settings yet, because I want to first establish that there is data coming from the game which is being read by the engine.
    Help on this would be hugely appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Chris
