    Sorry @claps67 but can you re post the video link, I can't access it.

    I gather what you are saying is that you have a simulator, it works fine, but there are certain games you would like to use that are not supported. Is that correct? If so then can you tell us a little more about your simulator by starting your own thread, as members here would be more than happy to assist you in using SimTools with you rig if that is possible.

    generally yes, generally no. But here goes. I will supply JRK wire up, maybe @Pit can supply arduino wire up
    JRK, no code to write, one board per motor, 12-14v at 30 amps all day with 45 amp spikes no problem, heat sink on big chip and fan cooling, 12 bit control board.

    Pots need to be mounted to the back of the motors

    The rest can be discussed once you start a new thread , but feel free to have a dig around and see if any designs inspire you.

    Hi @Jason Currington . There are many different setups you could go for. But bsft has given you a pretty good start with the above post.

    Have a look around the forums. Lots to see and get ideas from.

    Good question @bsft, though I am sure we all appreciate new members. Still, has anybody got any info on the recent influx of existing French motion simulation owners?

    Welcome @gilou30.

    Please start a new thread of your own and tells us more about your playseat based simulator. Please do include some photos and if possible a video. Members here really appreciate learning about other people's projects.

    Maybe some people spreading the word in French forums shows fruits…
    Also @Wanegain has written a nice quickstart in French.

    Welcome @bebert.

    There are lots of really interesting aspects of your motion simulator but the automatic fold out triple screens are a killer feature! Please do start a thread and tell us more about your pretty unique rig.

    Hi @bebert. How cool is this! Automatic fold out triple screens!
    I also like your acrylic levers. Makes your sim look like it's levitating in the air magic carpet.gif
