    Hello everyone, my name is Henkka and I'm from Finland. At first I must apologize my bad english.

    I've been reading this forum about an year, and now I think its time to try build my own simulator. I do have this selfmade racing seat, and I love it. But still, there is one major problem, it doesn't move!!! And that, my fellows, is where i need your help. I post picture of my rig below.

    [img600px]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/95319587/Play%20Seat/20121218_201149%20pieni.jpg[/img600px]

    I'm gonna list here questions, where i need your help. So please give me some advices, and don't loose your mental health with me and my questions. :)

    Lets begin.
    First and the most important. Does this work on all pc games? Meaning WRC 3 and F1 2012.
    And what about ps3, any news?

    I've been thinking 2DOF system.
    It means that it has 2 wipermotors? I'm right?
    And each wipermotor needs own driver? I'm right?

    So, what i need is:

    2x Pololu Jrk 12v12 USB Motor Controller with Feedback
    2x wiper motors
    2x potentiometers
    Power supply
    X-sim software
    What else?

    If I need something else, please tell me. And all the information about where to buy those things would be nice too. Based my own knowledge this is the most simpliest way to do 2Dof simulator? Or is it?

    Wipermotors I dont need, i have those already.

    Once again apologize my bad english. All these things must be here somewhere, i just didnt find them. So please, give me some advice.

    Sincerely:
    -Henkka-
