Are YOU a NEW MEMBER? Introduce HERE!

Hello you all,
Let's introduce myself.
I'm Dave and i live in the Netherlands. I work as a cnc operator/programmer and in my free time i do some serious motorsport on dutch national level.
My racing 'sim' hobby started with a G25 wheel some years ago and im using a Fantec wheel and pedals now. But im always looking for more so my next challenge will be building a moving sim and thats why im here to read about your tips and advice.

Hi I'm Terry thegadge european living in Thailand. The rig (which is not working yet problems with Sim Tools settings) is a 3 DOF Reality unit with Traction Loss, OSW FF Motor, SSRG S/wheel and Ricmothec pedals. I also have the A10c HOTAS with Ocolus rift.
Cheers Terry thegadge

Hello,
I´m new here, so I will add some Informations about me

My name is Dirk, I´m 27 years old. My Hobby is PC Modding (Building custom rigs with watercooling etc.)
At moment I´m working at my first ever build Sim. It´s the dream of the child deep in me. Meanwhile, I have 3 Children at home, they enjoy building with me sometimes.

@noorbeast I´m ashamed, but I allready messed up twice. :O

I think I will get more familiar with the forum soon. There are so many diffrent things from other, but I think I got it know.
Thanks for the warm welcome, I was reading the last week many posts and at moment I´m waiting for material. It´s a pretty nice and friendly community u have here.


Greetz,

Hi
My name is George. I'm a retired USN submariner electronics technician, self taught software developer in several languages, & horologist. I'm not done learning new stuff. I came here via Project Cars 2 forum.

Hello folks! Found the forum while trying to find an affordable 6dof package online, might have to rummage through the threads here to see if anyone's built an affordable one that isn't terribly complicated. I race Dirt Rally, Assetto, and PCars 2, using an Oculus Rift...

Thanks, noor! I'm thinking you're probably right. Maybe I should tackle a 3dof first. Will spend the next few weeks reading up on it.

Hi all,

I'm new and am working on a long-term project. Would like to build a 1:1 scale Spitfire sim pit using original drawings, sheetmetal and rivets. Rather than full-motion I want to get into a FFB setup with high control forces along with working panel gauges. I'm an arduino/Anet A8 printer user. Looks like this is the place to be!

Hello Everyone,

I've been around in read-only mode for a while now, I thought is's high time I introduced myself.
My name is Marton. I work at a data center as technician in Hungary.
In the last couple of years I spent some of my spare time building a simulator that - in short - fits the furniture.
I took the challenge to build something that is wife-compatible and can be the center of a small one room apartment.
Having started the project almost 3 years ago and still not being single, I thought it's noteworthy enough to show my journey to a greater audience.
Being born in a post-communist, below average European country, I learnt the way to make use of as much junk as I can reach laying around.
This leads me to my point, why I'm really here. Honestly, I would like to start a thread of my build, in hopes of earning a DIY Simtools license.
However, while my sim has all but motion, I'm in trouble which group to start in. I'd be glad if someone could point me to the right direction.
My next upgrade will hopefully be a motion controller, soon.
Peace.

Hello!
I have ben haninga around this site and reading a lot about interesting projects.
And after building a set of new pedals for racing, my old office chair aint up for it, i get pains
So i am thinking about building a G-seat, and is very inspired by this site.
I am from Sweden, my spelling is shit, thow 36 years old. Putting my english in google for help.
I use a CNC-router and autocad daly, so i am much more of a builder than a coder.
So i might need a bit of help on the way

Regards
Henrik.

Hi

Looking to build a sim and found this forum by way of Google. Not sure how many deg I will settle on. Might have some question on this after I read a lot more on this forum.
I have played with 80/20 in the past to that most likely will be what I build with. That is about the only
thing I am 99% positive that I will have at this point. Have yet to look into software/hardware (wheel, shifters, peddles) in a serious manor.

Off to do a lot a reading.

Hi everyone! Getting into driving sims in a big way, after growing up on Pole Position and Sega at the arcade. I’ll post details of my Lotus 18 full motion sim in the projects thread.
