    Hello. My name is Ivan. I live in Kiev. Here's a photo of my project .

    Welcome Ivan and thanks for sharing your project photo.

    It would be a good idea to create your own build thread so I and others could discuss your project. I am interested in where you plan to attache the motor to the seat, as it looks like it has a bit of weight to move.

    Hello everyone,
    I am French (I use google translate), I'm 38 and I have a 2DOF simulator (DC motor) I want to use with SimTools. I play Assetto Corsa, RaceRoom and Elite Dangerous.
    Here's a small picture of my current installation:

    Welcome @ullypot501.

    You will find a lot of information and useful advice here. Have a look through the member build section of the forum for ideas: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/forums/diy-motion-simulator-projects.22/

    You will also find the FAQ section very handy for information on specific topics: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/

    Do ask lots of questions, even as you are kicking around ideas and planning your build, there is a wealth of member expertise here and people freely give of their time and support.

    Good luck with your motions simulation project, whatever form that may take.

    Hello Everyone,

    I'm Marc and I'm from Quebec, Canada.

    I flown RC plane for 13 years and have my advanced ultralight license.

    I built an ultralight and a home build plane with my father and been dreaming of building a motion platform for quit a while.

    I was prevented from building one by the simple fact that I did not have any contact for mechanical parts and metal laser cutting suppliers that were shipping to Quebec

    All that changed with my new job [​IMG]

    My goal is to build a Two Seater 3DOF Flight Sim Plaftform with 180 View

    I surely will have a lot of questions as have being doing Maths and classic physics for quit a while.

    Bonjour tout le monde

    Je suis Fred, passionné de course auto virtuel depuis une quinzaine d'année. j'ai découvert xsimulator il y a un mois après avoir passer quelques années à contempler les simulateur pro sur youtube.
    En tombant sur le tuto de RacingMat je me suis dit qu'un 2DOF était enfin à ma portée. c'est chose faite 1 mois plus tard je suis équipé de mon DIY. Je présenterais le résultat sur le Forum.
    Merci à vous de m’accueillir dans la communauté :)
    Vive le sim-racing.

    Hello everyone

    I'm Fred , passionate virtual auto racing for fifteen years . I discovered xsimulator there a month after spending a few years in coles pro simulator on youtube.
    Falling on the tutorial of RacingMat I thought that 2DOF was finally within reach. it's done one month later I equipped my DIY . I will present the results on the Forum.
    Thank you to you for welcoming me to the community :)
    Long live the sim -racing .

    Welcome @Tifred07 and @Marc Turcotte. One just finished a build and one just starting!

    I will look forward to seeing your forum post @Tifred07 and @Marc Turcotte's grand plans.

    Bonjour Fred and Hello Marc!

    Welcome to our community. As noorbeast stated I will be looking forward to your posts and definitely be keeping a keen eye on your 3DOF Marc. I too would like to build a proper 3DOF one day but I have just started my 2DOF build and still have a lot to learn. You are in the right hands here as you will find the help form this board immense and detailed. Enjoy guys!

    Regards

    Hello Kanuk,

    Thank you for your welcome.

    I opened a thread "Two Seater, 180 View, 3 DOF Flight Sim Platform" to record my progress.

    Welcome @atello

    That is certainly an interesting project. Can you please start a new build thread and tease out a bit further what you have in mind. So for example what simulation environment, do you mean to build custom controls like dash or shifters, how many Degrees Of Freedom do you have in mind and what sort of budget?

    I must admit I already started my project (am a member of another forum PCSHM, I think you already know someone frome there)
    I'll try to post a thread about what i've done.
    For the moment I'm at the point where I try to figure out how all these things can work together with a game ;-)
    Thanks for the links anyway

    Hello everyone,
    For some time I dream of building a driving simulator.
    I browse the forums on the subject in order to teach me. Now the goal of my project and advance materializes
    In retirement, I took the time to introduce me to design with 3D Sketchup I begin to master.
    I also do animation with Stekchyphysics but the explicit documentation does not grow!
    One of my problems is that I do not master French English at all (thank you google translation).
    Quickly I would open a thread on my project and would not fail to expose my difficulties, so I count on you. In parralèle if I can share my skills with you some techniques that will be a jamboree.

    Welcome @momoclic.

    I look forward to your project thread and I am sure someone will help out with a translation if Google translate is not good enough.

    Great to have more motion sim fans. Ask away and if any of us can be of any help we would gladly give you a hand... :)
