    Yes, it is!:eek:
    Succeeding in a first simple 2DOF and then moving to a 6DOF project could be a good option to get more confidence and experience!

    Welcome,
    Good to see the arduino members are growing daily here.
    There is two options for you if you have not already selected one.
    Start a new thread for a sim build and design away. Good Luck

    Joined five years ago and this is your first post?! :) Cool! You should get the long-time lurker award. I thought for a long time that I might hold out and get it but when I started my platform I just had to ask questions ;)

    Hello, my name is Niko i'am french and i've built a 3 dof with motor and redution gear from steering column. (electric power assistance)
    For electronic i use 2xVM110 and 2x sabertooth (2X12A) and of course X-sim! I'm interest to test Simtools because sometime i have some deconnection with X-sim and i don't know why. I play exclusively RF2. (for the moment.lol)

    Hi,
    My name is Upali. I am living in Austria.
    After a long wait caused by lack of time due to full-time profession and family commitments (not to forget building & flying RC Helicopters), at last I have started my project of building a BELL 206 Jet Ranger Helicopter simulator using MS FSX and a home-built cockpit. The final target is to extend to a motion simulator. But first things first. I willl post photos when I finish the basic home cockpit.

    A litte more about me. Athough my initial profession was as an Electronics Development Engineer, during the last few years I was more involved in the field of computer networking and system administration. I hope my modest mechanical craftmanship woud be sufficient to complete the project. If needed I can always ask the help of a friend with more skills in mechanica engineering.
    Although I registered at xsimulator.net sometime ago, I am returning after quite sometime as I received your circular announcing SimTools Ver. 1.0 today.
    I take this opportunity to thank the host, administrators and all other contributors of this great site.
    Best Regards,
    Upali

    Hi Upali, welcome to XSimulator.net!

    Hey, have you looked at the Bell UH-1H sim module for DCS?

    Welcome Niko77, we actually dont have provision for the VM110(K8055) within SimTools, but can recommend you look at the SimAxe to replace them with, A cheap alternative that is was superior, I know too all the issue with the other software hence we tried to iron them all out in our beta so we dont have the same issues. Oh by the way we are activly working on another driver that can be bought off the shelf and is designed for use with the Sabertooth family - Kangaroo.
    Sorry again.

    Thank you eaorobbie:thumbs.

    I just discovert the Kangaroo X2 and maybe it's a good alternative and it's not too expensive. You said it's WIP to control this card with Simtools?

    salve a tutti
    sono nuovo in questo foro.
    ho costruito un cockpit 737 in scala 1:1 con tutta la electronica funzionante, mi manca imparare e vedere che possibilità ho per simulare movimento della mia cabina
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3O98MxZhnss
    vediamo cosa riusciamo a scoprire
    saluti a tutti michele
