    Do you have a link to the Motors you used? Watched the Video and it looked violent. I like it

    Does flypt support this rocker structure? I'm thinking again about whether FLYPT supports DC motors. I'm currently using DC motors, and I use simtools. I think it's quite easy to use. I want to try flypt when I have time.

    Projects are never really done, right?

    I never liked the brakes on the TPR's, so I converted them to load cells like many high-end sim racing pedals. I found some 30kg load cells on amazon and drew up some bracketry to make a unit the same size as the original TPR brake units. They have a little bit on free compression and then hard rubber insides so that they get very firm and braking is controlled by pressure, not position.

    I needed some loadcell amplifiers (got from Leo Bodnar) and i used a arduino Leonardo that i had from my old DIY joystick and discovered that it all fit right into the stock TPR electronics enclosure in the back. Wonderful upgrade!

    Hi Smitty. Thank you for sharing your project. I think you inspired many people. I build my rotary platform and I am struggling with flypt profile. I saw your video on YouTube and want to ask if you can share your profile for NoLimit, DirtRally2, and ACC. I used your BeamNG.drive profile from Thanos Discord, and it looks good. Thank you.
