    Jovens, tudo bem!
    E esta é minha Primeira postagem, eu estou Construindo um simulador 2dof com motores de para-brisas (modelo racemat). anteriormente eu estava usando o software X-Sim mas achei aconfiguraçao meiu complicada, então fiz o download do Simtools e estou vendo que é bem mais simples. Estou com o seguinte problema: como faço para mudar o jogo no game engine? eu tenho instalado o Race Driver Grid mas no download só tem opção do LFS. Se alguem puder me ajudar, agradeço desde já!

    Young, fine! And this is my first post, I'm Building a 2dof simulator with windshields engines (racemat model). previously I was using the X-Sim software but found setting set Meiu complicated, so I downloaded the Simtools and I see that is much simpler. I'm having the following problem: how do I change the game in the game engine? I have installed Race Driver Grid but the download only option is the LFS. If anyone can help me, thank you right now!

    Feel free to ask questions on your own thread as the members here give freely of both their time and expertise.

    You will need a basic understand of how to configure SimTools and the plugin system that enables motion for different games and you will find the documentation here: http://www.xsimulator.net/simtools-complete-documentation/

    You will also need to understand how the virtual activity coin system works: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/coins-how-to-get-them-and-how-to-give-them.74/

    I have donated enough coins so you can gain a week's access to download any and all SimTools plugins, but you need to use them here to purchase the access package so you can then download the plugins: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/shop/

    Specifically this is the Race Driver Grid plugin you will need: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/marketplace/race-driver-grid-plugin.23/

    Hi Everyone,

    My name is Ryan. I am 24 and own a custom auto shop. I am getting into Virtual Reality and want to create a motion simulator for racing/flight/space games for a VR Arcade I want to start. Does anyone know of any good simulator kits on this site that take you through step by step how to put a simulator together and and the software needed to tie it together with future VR games.

    I'm new here, I have used the old x-sim 2.1 few years ago to build a race simulator.
    Now, I would like to try the SimTools on my new start building flight simulator.
    I'm building a platform with Pitch, Roll, Yaw using AC motors.
    Since now, thanks everybody!

    Young, good afternoon. see if you guys can help me, I also built my simulator and I am with the following problem:
    Everything works fine until I connect my g27, then the computer stops sending data to the Arduino simulator. I'm using SimTools software and a single computer. Already checked the doors and no conflict. Someone had a problem like that?
    Thank you very much in advance !!

    hi all,
    I purchased 2 set of Fanatec sim wheel base, steering wheel, pedals and shifter and plan to build up a rig side by side. I plan to do a DIY, not sure how it's going to look - i plan to use 80/20 extrusions. Nice meeting you all, hope to contribute to this community as well.
