    Hi here :)

    First post here, I'm from France, 31 years old, and sim fan as each one here.

    after buying a Oculus Rift, I would like to build a motion simulator and I will need your help !

    I essentially fly on DCS :)

    Thanks ;)

    Hello everyone，
    I come from China, in the Internet search SCN electric cylinder data found this site. Although my English is not good, but I am still in a serious reading of the various information on the site. But now only understand one, learned some basic knowledge. Hope that after a long time of study can learn more.

    Welcome @dureiken and @liulong821170.

    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/

    Good luck with your projects.

    Hi everyone. Noob here. I was looking for a place where I could find as much info as possible to build a sim rig. Looks like I found it here. There's a wealth of information about everything with software etc, which is perfect! Obviously I first have to find plans/drawings of a rig to build that first, then do the actuator and software setup. I have a good, yet limited knowledge of computets ans electronics, so hopefully learning and understanding the programming won't be such a stressful task. As for the mechanical part, I work in a machine shop with all necessary tooling freely available to my expense, so building a rig is not a problem at all (although finding plans somehow is ). I already built myself a sequencial shifter and are currently busy building a gt style pedal set. The shifter is hooked up to a torn apart ps2 control atm, until I get to know the software and programming involved to make it more professional. Anyways, I'm sure I'll find all the info I need here. Thanx.

    Hi, I'm new here. I'm starting my project. I have in mind to start with a 2DOF platform, mature it and then try to escalate to another more complex (something like a 3 or 4 DOF.

    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.

    Hi all,

    I initially stumbled onto this forum while searching for something quite unrelated.. since then I've been lurking in the background, reading about some of the really interesting projects!

    I'm a long-time sim cockpit builder, with 2 fixed base sims in my garage, and always looking for ways to improve the immersion factor.
    Something which really interests me is building a "motion-cue" seat for my fast-jet simulator. I work on an airliner, fixed base sim which has some really nice motion-cue seats, and would really like to develop something similar to give a G, turbulence and touch-down effects.

    I have a pile of JRK's and access to some nice motors and gearboxes, plus a 3d printer and large CNC router.... excited about what I may be able to do :)

    Hi All,
    I'm trying to build a motion car simulator, using 2 wiper dc motor.
    Starting experiment using scaled model.
    Hope I can learn a lot here.

    Hi All,
    want to ask about wiper motor.
    it is safe to use a plastic gear (default gear) for motion simulator?
    thanks

    Hi all, new member here!

    My name is Marco and I am an Arduino and arcade racing games enthusiast, so my Subscription would be only a matter of time !

    I am planning to build up a low cost 2DOF simulator to enjoy outrun 2006 at its best, so I went here to learn from the masters of the matter.

    See you around here!
