    does the 301 work with the x-sim program?
    inside is a galil controller and communicate over TCP.

    The Galil controllers have both a serial interface and API for C and VB (also .Net languages I believe). Therefore, it is highly likely that this motion controller can be made to work with X-Sim. I am not an expert of X-Sim's serial interface. I would suggest writting a plugin for the Galil controller.

    I wonder if the Force-Dynamics guys are interested in creating a XSim interface via plugin.

    Of course just in case they agree that all game profiles made with XSim remain free available for their customers and the XSim community, as claimed in the XSiim software license.

    regards

    i would really like to make something like the FD401

    i hope down the road we can work toward this.

    does anyone know what actuator's they're using? I'm sure they're expensive but DAMN!!!!

    They use own acutator.
    from FD site:The actuator motors provide 3hp peak and 500lbs of peak thrust each; each actuator has 18 of travel.

    Works X-Sim with this three axis with three very largest Actuators?

    Two Actuators for Left and Right and a Actuator for Back and Up.
