    @MikeG I can drop all of my coins to you (or any other random person) if you wish, I completely don't care for this "currency".

    @bsft Obviously I'm gonna buy that Gold account, which I assume is the same as if it was purchasing the full license for the software, given current context.

    Of course the downside is that it will likely to continue...but yes I too appreciate the humour, though it is not always polite to laugh at the misfortunate behaviour of others, even if it is of their own making.

    I think the community has quickly got a pretty good handle on what is going on.

    But here I am not sure how this is working. Trying to build a seat similar to the GS4. IRacing drive using the program and I love it. Now Trying to figure out how to build my own rig motion. Found this site through the iRacing forums.

    Cheers,

    Donal

    That is already an amazing sim pit @coyote!

    Do start a build thread of your own where you can share further information, ask questions and get some advice...you will find some really experienced members here who give off their time and expertise to help all of us get started.

    Your English is just fine.

    Hello.
    I am new here and always wanted to build a full motion simulator that i can use at home when the weather is to bad to fly.

    Makes sense. Have a dig through the threads and see if any particular design takes your interest.

    I am still searching for specific information. Not sure it exist. I want to use hydraulic lifts, or long throw actuators that are fast.

    Like this guy.


    I don't have 30,000 dollars to by this rig.

    dig through the threads and look. From memory, @BlazinH does something with BIG dc motors , I think another is building a copy using similar actuator design, but hes up over $5000 so far.
    I remember a bloke called @AldoZ did something like this with 12v boat winch motors, a calculated load spring under the centre and used JRKS for control

    not sure whats happened to him these days.

    Hello all I found this site by accident and I'm glad I did. I'm into simulations of all kinds but tend to lean to the flight side of things. Hope to post again soon
