    Hi, I have a G25 and Fanatec Clubsport V3 Inverted pedals - no motion platform or bass shakers. I'm interested in getting more haptic feedback about loss of grip. I may invest in some bass shakers soon. But first I wondered if I could use the XSimulator software to activate the pedal shakers on my existing Clubsport pedals. I've not done anything with the XSimulator software before some any help would be appriciated. Thanks.

    Welcome @moefinley.

    It would be possible to hack the Clubspport pedals and use GameDash, a SimTools companion app to control the rumble motors. But that seems a bit pointless when you can just use Fanaleds to control the pedal rumble motors: https://www.fanaleds.com/

    But if you get transducers then GameVibe (another SimTools companion app) can be use to control, customise and fine tune their haptic feedback.

    Other possibilities are things like a telemetry driven race harness will also greatly enhance immersion.

    @noorbeast
    Thanks for the helpful reply. I'll look into GameDash. I had heard of FanaLEDs but what I read was it only allows you to set the feedback to activate based on the pedal force, not on any metric from the sim such as loss of traction. Is that not true?

    Correct, but pedals are a poor way to try and simulate traction loss, hence my suggestion to review other member projects.

    Please start your own thread and post any further questions or comments there: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/forums/diy-motion-simulator-projects.22/

    Witaj.
    Po latach zmagań z budową stacjonarnych symulatorów, zdecydowałem się umieścić go w ruchu. Mam nadzieję, że znajdę tu pomocy, bo mam wiele pytań :)
    Pozdrowienia dla wszystkich

    Welcome.
    After years of struggling with the construction of stationary simulators, I decided to put it into motion. I hope that I will find help here because I have many questions :)

    Welcome @Wojtek12.

    I have taken the liberty of adding a Google Translation to your post, as you can dual language post but it is part of the Forum Rules that you also include English, doing so via Google Translate is fine: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/forum-rules.9527/

    Simulation and associated peripherals, in all their forms, is one deep and twisty rabbit hole, which is part of the fun, so do plenty of research first. Thankfully we a really active community here who freely give of their time and expertise.

    Hello, My name is Marcos.
    I want to thank you all for this forum, for the exchanges of information that enable the project of movement simulators.
    I work with a mechanical project but i do not understand electronics and i wish to share valuable information here.
    I want to make my simulator to have fun in the off hours.
    I have G29 steering wheel from Logitech
    I like games: Project Cars 2, F1 and IL Sturmovik
    Thank you all.

    Hello everyone. Just finished building a SFX 100. Now I need to learn how to program the drives, actuators, and axis. Feeling very overwhelmed at the moment lol. I mostly drive Iracing currently, but have access to ACC as well. Looking forward to increasing my knowledge from the infinite wisdom on this forum.

    Thanks,
    Jay

    Hi ! (I've been on here since 2009, just realized I didn't introduce myself... :eek: never too late to do it ;)

    I'm 42, from France. I've been creating stuff since I was 5. Since a month now, I'm transforming my static driving simulator to a dynamic one.

    Looking forward to talk and exchange about Simtools and Dynamic simulators :D

    I am still unable to communicate correctly on the site, as I am always blocked ((You need at least 3 posts to add external links to your posts! This is used to prevent spam.)).
    Should these 3 messages to be unlocked be here?

    Here is the FAQ information about restrictions on new member to prevent spam: https://www.xsimulator.net/communit...ed-posts-needed-before-links-can-be-used.150/

    As per previous advice the best way to reach the required number of posts is to start your own project thread and outline what you plan to build: https://www.xsimulator.net/communit...mber-introduce-here.1737/page-230#post-192468

    While doing your project research you will likely have some questions, so post those on your build thread and you will quickly reach the required number of posts to add links.
