    First of all apologise for not being around , been real busy with new job plus going through a big learning curve in maths too.

    Thanks to a fellow member for giving me a polite shove in the right direction, Thanks Alan.
    Without his help this would never be as complete , thanks for your help mate.

    That's a really cool, I can see how the axis are suppose to work exactly ! I could use this to tweak my current setup using different values in the axis control in simtools.

    Cant wait for the updates :)

    I don't have a 6dof but I think it's exactly what was missing in Simtools !! Can someone make a video demo of this powerful tool please ?

    Ohhh You have stirred up a hornets nest in the best possible way with your work EaoRobbie. a lot of lurkers will be coming out of the woodwork thanks to this work , like the rest of the guys hoping simtools will be the one stop shop for DIY simmers .. Just saying thanks for even starting this much needed addition to Simtools ... :)
    Cant wait to test this , Unfortunatly like a fool i upgraded my laptop to Win 10 only to find out i can no longer run or get FS2004 to run ( bummer) so my sim is stalled for a bit but once sorted im in with trying this .
