    For motors that can be back driven when not powered on members often use fold in chocks to block the motor.

    The other option is to power the rig on, but do make sure it is well balanced. The Joystick plugin can be used for games that do not have a dedicated motion plugin: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/marketplace/joystick-plugin.127/

    Noorbeast thx for answer. Rig also I using for internet surfing etc. So acc. to yours info, for me the best solution is using chocks or bars for pernamently and solid block motors or seat when no motion (no neccesary keep power on motors). This is no the best solution but why I can do. Again thx.

    I have now noticed that these arms make a noise due to the small play between the M10 thread and the rod head when moving.

    Rod_space.jpg

    To solve this problem, you need approximately 2.3 cm of insulation tape. Cut the tape neatly with scissors and do not pull it off the roll. Otherwise the tape will shrink again.

    electricaltape.jpg

    Stick the tape around the thread end. Make sure that the end and the beginning of the tape do not overlap.

    fixed_electraltape.jpg

    Now place the rod head on the M10 thread with a circular motion and light pressure. Do this carefully so that the tape does not curl.

    problem_fixed.jpg

    Where the red arrows are on the photo was first the play which is now replaced by insulating tape

    If you now pull the rod head, in the direction that the engines will do, then the annoying 'click sound' has now completely disappeared.
    ps. Do this of course with every rod end

    Hopefully I could help someone.

    I found the base a little too high, so I did some sawing work

    Unfortunately, the angle of the screen was not good enough.
