    Welcome @clark10.

    When you are ready start your own build thread, review the FAQ section and ask plenty of questions, even in the planning stages.

    Hello,

    My name is Silvano, I live in Switzerland and I am passionate sim racer. I used to race in real life with my BMW 2002 Tii modified.
    I race Sims since the first GTR so about 10 years. Used the "Logykal" motion software till now but due to the lack of support from them I decided to change.
    I builded my motion sim myself then added SCN6 actuators.

    Regards,
    Silvano

    Of course I will explain some details of this rig that I builded over 1 year in my spare time.

    I'm Rodrigo,

    I'm from Brazil, but currently live in UK. I found this site as I am trying to fix a problem I'm having a plugin to extract data from rFactor to MoTeC. Very interesting content you have here, I hope to find good resources here! :D

    Hi, my name is Heiko, from Germany. I am a Metallworker and Simracer since Grand Prix1. My Rig constantly evolved over the last 10 years and now it is more than time for a motion Sim. As always when it is done i could slap myself that i didn't build it sooner because the new parts always ad immersion or make my driving mor constant. That happened with my Pedals, my sequential shifter, the TM1638 and now with the tractionloss.
    Next step will be a seatmover. But i am not 100% sure if a seatmover or 2 dof. I tend to seatmover because of the space. The Sim is in the livingroom between the TV and the right speaker. You will see/understand when i open a thread and post pictures in the next days.

    And i have to say this forum is definitely a diamond mine when it comes to different solutions and knowledge. Absolutely great!
