    Hello
    My name is Nasrallah.
    from Iran.
    After a few searches I found this site.
    I am interested in creating a simulator.
    I'm asking for friends in the community to guide me to build.
    Thanks

    Welcome @nasrollah.

    Some time spent researching and planning is time well spent, and the community here can help you out as you formulate your ideas about what you want to build.

    Have a look at existing member builds, that may help you refine your own project: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/forums/diy-motion-simulator-projects.22/

    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/

    We have a glossary for all those acronyms we tend to use, which will help you decipher some descriptions: 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/

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

    Good luck with your project.

    So glad to have found this forum!

    I'm working on a flight simulator using a gimbal. Some of these designs on here have totally opened my mind to other possibilities. There are some wickedly talented people here!

    Hi everyone.

    I am Paolo, from Italy, and I am aiming to build a very simple 2dof motion sim for PS4 for using with assetto corsa and project cars.
    I will keep you updated if anything interesting comes out of this adventure.

    Ciao!

    Welcome @samser1150.

    A 6DOF is a complex and costly project, but not impossible. You will find plenty to get you started in the FAQs, including a specific 6DOF section and how to build a working model, which may be a good place to start: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/

    We have a glossary for all those acronyms we tend to use, which will help you decipher some descriptions: 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/

    Feel free to ask questions on your build thread, the members here give freely of both their time and expertise.

    Good luck with your 6DOF project.

    Hi from Texas. I have been following the forum for a while when I started planning a 6DOF flight sim. Now I resorted to a 2DOF race sim to get some practice first with an easier project. Will present the current status in the showroom soon.

    I'm from Placerville CA. Have a 2dof system that I'm hoping to get moving here tonight. Got the Simtools License purchased and the xsim premium membership. Excited to get this stuff moving!

    Hello guys,

    I'm new here, but hopefully I will become a full-time member. I'm currently gathering funds for my 2DOF simulator based on industrial grade servos.

    Got my RC model working today based on threads from this forum (I wouldn't make it without you):
