    Looks good, nifty idea of putting pedals on seat rails to adjust.

    With more fine tuning of your motion the right would be a lot nicer, as in could not see much roll or sway or even surge on the video, but youtube frame rates don't help either.
    Nice clean looking project, do you have the details posted on how you hooked the simexperience kit to simtools, we have another user trying the same thing and not having much luck @patritti could use you help, thanks.

    If he actually uses SimTools, I cannot say that from images, there are no separated RS USB adapters, but yet I could be mistaken.

    In the meantime I have seen in your post above that you don't use SimTools, that was interesting me, thanks for info.

    As far as I've read other topics and attempts of converting SimXperince SCN actuators, you would need to have two separated USB adapters for each actuator which you will plug into PC, you would need to cut SCN wires and make connectors for those USB adapters and change actuators ID numbers for both to have ID "0", there are some tools to change that, I think SimTools have that ability now, but I'm not 100% sure. You will not need to use SimXP black box anymore and SimCommander software.

    Please someone correct me about this if I am wrong.

    But if your SimXperience equipment is still under warranty, I wouldn't recommend to mess with it unless you are 100% sure that it will work with SimTools and you are willing to do that.

    I can tell which software from the motion cues , in Sim Commander, stands out if you have used it, very poor compared.
