    Hello everyone,
    My name is Thierry and I live in Belgium.
    I am trying to build a car simulator 4DOF with 4 SCN6.
    I chose to use SimTools because it seems to me the simplest to use.
    Moreover I am happy to register on this forum because I know that you are more experienced than me
    and that you can advise me if something is not working.
    Thank you to welcome me on this forum.

    Welcome @Thierry1401.

    Have a look at existing member builds, that may help you refine your own project: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/forums/diy-motion-simulator-projects.22/

    You will find plenty to get you started in the FAQs, from design software, dimension of sims, to PSUs, pots, motors, JRKs, Arduinos and Motor Monsters and more: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/

    In particular check out the SCN section in the FAQs: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/scn5-scn6.2/category

    We have a glossary for all those acronyms we tend to use, which will help you decipher some descriptions: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/glossary-of-acronyms-and-names.66/

    Feel free to ask questions on your build thread, even during planning/design phase as the members here give freely of both their time and expertise and that will save you both time and money.

    Good luck with your 4DOF project.

    I do not see that there are many people who choose a 4dof for your project. Good luck, Take us informed.
