Cheap and easy Traction Loss Frame

Here i present my latest extension

I sattle for a 5 Point mounting Frame .
Why?
You prevent torsion, its cheap cause the frame could be lighter and easy to build.



I bought some Bearings ( whats the correct tech. expression?) New OldStock on Ebay - 5 for 10€
I had some daubt about the Quality, but no Problem at all.
I inserted some Tube to give the bearings a correct fit. The Tube is fixed with two welding points.



Here is shown the Front Frame and the Rear Frame.
In Front and Back 2 Point Mounting and one in the middle , right under the seat.



Here you can see the Bearing with Bracket for the upper Frame.
Very small, cause ther are only small forces to assume . Another 10€


Here in Detail

Underneath the Top Frame I installed some Stainless Steel Plates.
First I tried Plastic but they were worn out immediately.



Here is the Acctuator Mounting
Left side




Right side.

First test

mhhh not bad but the upper frame lifts a little bit in hard bends.



Here is the solution for not hopping around



Works fine !

ca. 10 Hrs worktime
bearings 20€
Scn5 100mm used on Ebay 180€
Tubes were found in my Garage

Thanks for your interest

Cheers

Beautiful and cheap ! thanks for sharing this !

Thanks for adding that, eventual thing to add to seat mover, a yaw frame.
everything except SCN actuator is cheap here in Australia. I will use a dc motor I thinks

Does that front bearing still hold up after use?

Hi
yes they still work great.
No Problems so far

Good to know, thanks. thats my next step/.

This is what I'm looking for exactly, thx for sharing.
Just started planning

I built one of this, but you have to know that it is works well, bearings are strong enough, but it's so noisy...
I suggest rubber wheels everywhere instead of bearings

and the value we have to use for this actuator? is it yaw?

Hi Hooshang, Value1 recently updated many of the plugins to include an additional DoF for traction loss. Check the thread for your favorite plugin to see what changed.

thank you Historiker for your useful reply and thx also Value1 for adding DOF for traction loss
but I just want to know which value or set of values are involve with Traction loss and
another question that doesn't have anything to do with Traction loss but important

why we don't have special value for RPM and speed in simtools as we had in X-sim for most of the games?

Hooshang

Hooshang, we have a dashboard app that takes care of RPM and Speed but there are also several plugins that have Extra 1, Extra 2, and Extra 3 where you can find the RPM and speed as well as Traction Loss (which answers your original question).

All dash data was intended only to be used in GameDash.
Why have two different Programs then mix them up, doesn't make sense to me. lol Its an Xsim way, lol.

thank you David and Rob for introducing Game Dash, I just didn't know about it...intresting
anyway now I should work and study how to work with...

well after around 2 years of working with X-sim it takes time for shifting to the new one
