    Hi. I bought a second-hand simulator for my garage for 3000$. It supports only a couple of games. I need your help guys. Now I will try to describe the equipment. ZQUx6v3wIqM.jpg vjrwQphDvHs.jpg keD-cX1p2fI.jpg FFmWtjpOytU.jpg E22p7DAQMfg.jpg 39_dxH-n8II.jpg 8OdiOnMouRs.jpg

    Very Nice :thumbs @bertrace Congrats. ...

    I don't know actually How Motion Dynamics SW operate their simulator ... But I see here it has the xsim SW. So I guess by knowing the controller type you can easily use SimTools with all the Huge game Plugins available till now ...
    Do you have a hardware problem ? Is it functional ? please explain .
    Or you just complain from a few games capability ?


    22222.jpg

    and please give us photos for this Cockpit controller user interface program other marked tabs ...
    this SW can be like the SMC3 Utility User interface program that we have here for the Arduino ..

    11234.jpg

    and a photo for this controller ...

    2.jpg

    If you have any hardware problems please ask ? other wise you can replace this controller with two Arduino UNO boards easily and use SimTools Instantly .
    See the link below for my similar Pyramid simulator ... Donated you some coins so you can browse freely .
    Thanks :cheers

    I do not know how to thank you.
    This is not a controller, it's just a video card)) From the computer goes only Ethernet cord from the network card.

    @bertrace ... Thanks to you ... the more you explain the more you got properly assisted .

    For the SW you have :
    Any of these Insim or x-sim SW programs are running ???? or they still needs an accessible internet account ?​
    And If they are running and you can go to the UDP output settings then post some photos for them ALL ...

    For the equipments you have ...
    Please post some more photos for this ??? model ???​
    aasassa.jpg

    And a close view for the front panel of the 4 Altivar 71 VFD inverters "Variable Frequency Drive" ???​
    I need to know ... How many additional wires are connected plus the Ethernet cable ?
    I've got it's manual reading it and need some more connections information for it please ...

    Edit : Wow that's a big one and "Very Expensive too" ...

    ZQUx6v3wIqM.jpg


    We have here a full detailed thread for VFDs in the FAQ and how to use them professionally ... I suggest it you to have a general look first ...


    Please post the link of your thread there if it has additional information ... I'm @speedy there too ;) .
    Thanks :cheers

    Here is another type of driving the motors that may run SimTools easily ...
    Here you just need a USB from the computer for Each Arduino that is driving a 3 to 6 motors through the opto-coupler and VFDs ...
    There are many projects here that uses Arduino Uno or Mega for that ...
    All other spaghetty connections you see are for main CB feed lines, Feedback pot, Speakers, and the Emergency button contactor switch ...
    The VFD FAQ corner has most/all of the connection information for interfacing the opto-coupler with any kind of controller and using the 3 phase AC motors VFDs ...

    When use ac motors you need to user a gear box to reduce de speed, and have more precision in the control.

    Gearboxes MUST match you motor's horsepower rating.................
    AND whether using 50: 1, 60:1 ratios, you must make sure the motor/gearbox is capable of the torque and lifting power you require.

    The platform is fully working, from the program I can manually controlled motors. The program does not see the data from the game, such as speed and axis. Today I discovered that the program does not see D-box, try it today.

    I do not know the language, the Czech Republic seems :)) I will try to do my best. On other pages there is no useful information. These schemes are a little bit useful?
