    Bonjour à tous,

    Je vous présente mon premier projet de simulateur de course réalisé au cours de l'hiver dernier. J'utilise 2 actuateurs SCN5 pour le mouvement du siège et un SCN6 pour la perte de traction.

    J'espère que vous l'apprécierez!



    Hello everyone,

    My name is Yves and I come from Quebec. I present my first racing simulator project conducted during last winter. I use 2 SCN5 actuators for movement of the seat and a SCN6 for the loss of traction.


    I hope you enjoy it!

    Thanks so much for sharing the video @yvsbvn, your build looks really professional with precise movement.

    One suggestion, normally the sway axis would be set to lean away from a corner not into it, as that way it simulates the forces involved and it is yourself who will naturally try to lean into the corner to counter act it. Give it a try.

    Nice sim:thumbs, agree with @noorbeast in regard to the setting of the sway axis, also recommend fitting a harness, as its no good have SCN5s and then lifting your back off the seat to fight the movement (although this may be caused by the sway forces being backwards).

    Very nice sim !!

    And I agree with @noorbeast you need to invert the sway effect.

    Nice rig, I would tweek and tune on the Traction loss axis a little bit more. Seems a little over done on the Tuning center. You dont want to be feeling traction loss when you add a small amount of steering lock, Only when the actual Car Steps out in game. It can be rather tricky to get right, But work on the TL ONLY with the seat motor's Temporarily turned off, You'll see what i mean when your only feeling the 1 force at a time.

    Thank you all for your advice. I will take time to correct the settings in the coming days. I will keep you informed of the changes.

    Merci à tous pour vos conseils. je vais prendre le temps de corriger les paramètres dans les prochains jours. je vais vous tenir informé des changements apportés.
