Hi!, new member from Scotland but living in Norway.

Always played f1/forza games on xbox until last year (2019) i built my first gaming pc.
Since then mostly play iRacing but also own F1 2019, AC,RF2.

I joined because i was reading all the posts about direct drive wheels to help with my own build.
my build is here if anyone wants to look. next plan is to hopefully make some hydraulic pedals to replace my thrustmaster tx pedals.

Anyway thanks for all the great content you guys put up.

Hello there everyone!

I'm the new guy in town (for now) so I thought I'd introduce myself. I've been a motorsports fan ever since living next to Kyalami GP racetrack back in South Africa when I was 11 years old and woke up to the sound of "Beasts roaring on a Sunday morning" which essentially led me on a 23 year journey to register an account here at XSimulator

With that said, I've finally settled on the idea of building a motion simulator to augment my love for motorsports and sim-racing. I've settled on a 6DOF with g-Seat combination for my first simulator project.... ever. This should be fun I expect this project to take between 12-18 months to complete which gives me some extra time to budget, plan, and learn Fusion 360 on top of actually building something cool (hopefully).

Anyways, that's enough from me for now. Thanks to everyone who has helped so far, and to anyone else who chooses to help me on this project in the future, you're the real MVP here!

All the best,

MagicMunkyNuts.

hi guys, Hwoa here, long time driving enthusiast. Recently i got my hands on the RC4 rig, and now you can call me an addict
i hope we"ll have a lot of fun and successful troubleshoots together

Hi, my name is Ron i am from the Netherlands.
Eager to learn the motion stuff

I have a motion platform 4dof+TL

Hi Everyone,

I created an account a few months ago, then work got in the way and I completely forgot about introducing myself.

I have a long-term goal of training to become a commercial helicopter pilot. For the first few years I'll be splitting my work with my current job, flying in the summer, working in my current industry over the winter. To not get rusty during that time I want a solid simulator rig to keep my skills sharp. A 6 DOF platform may be overkill but that's what I'm going for (for now).

All of this is a long way down the road. First I need my license, then a capable workstation with peripherals, VR setup. The motion platform will be the last step. So bear with me.

I did have some spare time over the holidays though, so I went ahead and built a 1:10 scale model, which you can check out here.

It's great to be part of this fantastic community and I'll have a ton of questions once I tackle the full scale rig no doubt.

Hello everyone i m sebastien from France , i ve few decade now hehe , so i ll introduice a bit myself .
I m doign race track with my car and motor bike i love mecanics ,and i like to learn new stuff ,
and i m a gamer for long time on pc and mega drive ps1 2 .3 4 but i m playing more on computer . i like flight simulator and car .
I had a playseat and logitech g25 something like , but when i moved from my parents house

Have great evening

Hi friends,

My name is shar and i am also a new member here. Just have very basic electronics knowledge but very passion to learn.I hope i can learn to built a simulator from basic until success.Thanks

Regards
Shar

I found this forum while searching for information on a DIY force feedback steering wheel project. I am just getting into simulator programs with Assetto Corsa and looking forward to making it more fun and realistic. I have basic electronic skills and very good fabrication and soldering skills. Also some programming background, so messing with Arduino-based FFB wheels looks interesting.
