Are YOU a NEW MEMBER? Introduce HERE!

I'm Giancarlo From Italy (Monteporzio catone) near Rome.
I'm a computer scientist and have a lot of experience in networking servers programming languages.
I have a basic late(cnc modificated) and a cnc router and a 3d printer. With my cnc I'm also able to make artigianal pcb with exposure laser double face and 0.3 or 0.4 vias. A lot of experience with arduino and raspberry (I interfaced late and cnc laser with arduino - raspberry using modbus). So may be I'll able to make something I like to try simtool

hey everyone, my name is regis I'm from france and I'm waiting for my 2dof motion simulator to get built and delivered to my home but It seems that there is not a single space simulation compatible with motion simulator anymore (and not even speaking about motion cancellation problems) due to frequent update from developers ? am I correct about it or did I get the wrong impression ? I hope when my rig arrives I will at least still be able to play project cars 2 or the whole thing will just be a 3000 $ bunch of wooden-steel and plastic and total waste of money ?

HI enjoy for race now

Hello,
my Name is Manuel and i am SimRacer since over 20 years.
i look after a solution to build a own FFB for Assetto or another racing game.
Hope to find it here.


Best wishes from Fichtenberg / Germany

bonjour à tous.
je suis un nouvel arrivant sur le forum.
cela fait quelques mois que je le parcours pour m'aider et me donner des idées pour mon projet de simulateur.
je suis en train de construire un simulateur 3dof yaw à base d'Arduino + bouclier moto monster + moteurs d'essuie-glace.
je posterais bientôt des photos salut à tous.

Hello I am Otto!
I'm just reading the topic.
And slowly buy the parts for my 6DOF project.

regards
Otto

Hello all I just came across this site while looking for a way to build a diy motion simulator. I'm currently in school in the US to become an Electrical Engineer and I really want to build a 3 or 6 DOF rig to play VR space sims on! I've never taken on a project of this magnitude but I'm really excited to try.

Hello everyone!
As I'm also a new user I thought I introduce myself as well!
I use sim racing as a way to experience the art of drifting like I "can't" in real life. My goal is to get as close to the real thing as possible within my given possibilities.
What's left in my current setup is feeling (any kind of) the forces of a real car. So I figured the next step towards my goal is motion!
Therefore I joined this community and also started my very own build thread as of right now:
https://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/2-dof-seat-mover-build.11505/

If some of you feel like joining my journey I would love to her your feedback on my (current) progress.

Hi everyone!

I thought it would be the nice thing to do, to use my first post to introduce myself.
I am a 22 year old Automotive Engineering student living in The Netherlands. As I am in the fourth year of my study, I'm almost done with my education. The last thing left to do is a graduation assignment, which brings me to this forum. My assignment is to build a motion simulator for a company that produces carbon fibre parts, but also complete F1 style monocoques. As time is limited and graduation assignments assume that you develop a lot yourself, I'm not quite sure yet how far I'll come. Thinking of making a BRD style simulator, for which I'll develop the whole motion calculation in Simulink by using the game's exported vehicle dynamics data. I could use existing programs, but that probably wouldn't be enough to pass.
I have some electronics experience and have fooled around with arduino's before. I have done some multibody simulations in Matlab and Simulink before. Still in need of a lot of help on some problems I'm afraid (no motion simulator experience so far), but looking at all the response I see on the forum, I think I'm in good hands here.

Hey there

Nice to see that so many ppl uphold the custom of introducing oneself here

My name is Frank, working as an airline pilot and have always been fascinated by 6DOF platforms. Every time before going into the sim I was standing there, watching the Full Flight Simulators at work from the outside, wondering: "How do they do the math???" Until one day, just a few months ago it occurred to me, that with a little... ehrrr... actually a lot of analytic geometry I could calculate at least the statics of those platforms. I was hooked! Then I thought a little more about it for a few weeks and slowly got a faint idea of how I'd approach the dynamics of it. I thought, maybe I could write myself a little program that...

Note that at the time I was convinced that I was the only person on the planet sick enough to spent his time on something like this. While researching the topic, I found you guys here, and it was a revelation!!!! I felt like a gay person, knowing he was gay all his life and all the time thinking he's the only one. And then all of a sudden I accidentally stumble into this "Christopher-Street-Day-Parade" of a forum

...so, thank YOU for the support you're providing!

As soon as I have something noteworthy on my desk, I too will start a thread about my build, giving others the chance to avoid the inevitable occasional pitfalls of such an undertaking.
