    Welcome @Bongo1435.

    You can dual language post but you need to include English via Google Translate. We have lots of bilingual members, so if Google Translate really messes things up then they can help out.

    For convenience I have done the Google Translation:

    Welcome @gftony, you will have some exciting times ahead once you assemble and tune your Dofreality rig.

    We do have a Dofreality specific thread, which will likely be useful: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/low-cost-2dof-3dof-motion-simulator-dof-reality.8570/

    There is also a dedicated section for assistance for people using the Pro license, which you will have with your Dofreality rig: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/forums/simtools-pro-entertainment-version.176/

    If you want to start your own thread the please do so in the commercial rig section: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/forums/commercial-simulators-and-peripherie.52/

    Hi
    I'm a new member and I'm glad to find this site.
    I signed up here after I searched for 3 hours to find a good source for building a 720 degrees flight motion simulator, with no success. (just like the one in the picture) A motion simulator with limitless rotation and turning ability which should have only two powerful electric motors. one for banking and the other for elevation. I even found the solution for limitless rotating electrical connection ( slip ring ) after alot of search. I have no problem with mechanical parts and making the frame but I don't know how to do the electrical things so any help and information will be appreciated.

    With respect
    Saldash

    Welcome @Saldash.

    There are often questions about 360° motion simulators, but rarely fully completed examples because of the cost and complexity: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=site:xsimulator.net+360&ia=web

    Taking a different path @dontcarefilmer and did a sensible thing in developing a prototype working model of a 360° motion simulator to both work out the practicalities and refine the code needed to work with SimTools, see here for details: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/prototype-pitch-roll-full-rotation.5804/

    Hello, my name is Martin, i am 27 years old and i come from Austria. I´d like to build a model of a 6DOF motion platform, based on Arduino, 6 RC-Servos using SimTools and FSX. Is there a german Forum-Corner, because my english is not the best.

    Thank you for this very very very extensive forum.

    Welcome @Wattepausch.

    You can dual language post if you include English via Google Translate. It saves other members time trying to work out who may need help and who is just posting a comment.

    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.

    The FAQs are a great place to start and cover most common topics: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/

    The FAQ even have code and information about a RC 6DOF model you can use with SimTools: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/build-a-working-model-to-test-your-design-ideas.216/

    The demo version of SimTools includes a fulling function plugin for Live For Speed, specifically for testing purposes, but will not run other plugins. A RC model is not eligible for a free DIY SimTools license by a working DIY rig is: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/request-a-free-diy-simtools-2-0-license.262/

    High there, Reddo here from Holland. Done some sim racing in the past when the PS2 came out with Gran Turismo 3 and 4 with a Logitech Momo wheel, a racing seat and a very crude setup. Lately, got Raceroom downloaded and fixed the wheel, which is again fun after a long time. Now been looking at doing a proper setup and browsing around. Love this setup



    and with a triple monitor setup and DD wheel that would be awesome. First, going to make a small 6dof platform with RC servo's and an arduino (have a few lying around here) to see how it all works softwarewise, then, maybe, take it a step further...

    Hello,

    My name is Kevin and I live in SW Ohio (USA).

    I have extensive flight sim experience using hardware from Flight Deck Simulations, and would like to build a reasonably-priced motion sim with at least 3 DOF. 6 DOF would be preferred, but the wallet... What ever I build, it should support a 300 lb person - not my weight but one never knows as one ages.

    I only want to do this ONCE.

    I am an engineering manager with 20 years experience in industrial robotics and PLC's, as well as industrial electrical and controls.

    First, a huge shout out to everyone here - some of the things I've seen here are just, well, unbelievable. So much talent here that I'm honored just to be able to sign up.

    So, glad to be here!

    Kev
