    Hello! I am kompac de valencia españa, I am starting in this world of driving simulation, now I am starting a new 2Dof project with Arduino + shield moto monster + wiper motors. I'm investigating Simtools, for problems with other software at the moment. I hope to learn a lot and help as much as possible in this great community, and put my new simulator to work. I will post photos of the project soon

    Greetings to all

    Welcome @kompac.

    You will find plenty to get you started in the FAQs, including a section on SimTool tips and tricks, Arduino code (try SMC3 first) and Motor Monsters, plus heaps more: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/

    I'm Giancarlo From Italy (Monteporzio catone) near Rome.
    I'm a computer scientist and have a lot of experience in networking servers programming languages.
    I have a basic late(cnc modificated) and a cnc router and a 3d printer. With my cnc I'm also able to make artigianal pcb with exposure laser double face and 0.3 or 0.4 vias. A lot of experience with arduino and raspberry (I interfaced late and cnc laser with arduino - raspberry using modbus). So may be I'll able to make something I like to try simtool

    hey everyone, my name is regis I'm from france and I'm waiting for my 2dof motion simulator to get built and delivered to my home but It seems that there is not a single space simulation compatible with motion simulator anymore (and not even speaking about motion cancellation problems) due to frequent update from developers ? am I correct about it or did I get the wrong impression ? I hope when my rig arrives I will at least still be able to play project cars 2 or the whole thing will just be a 3000 $ bunch of wooden-steel and plastic and total waste of money ?

    Welcome @nigaudloto.

    There is a SimTools Elite Dangerous plugin, it does get broken by game updates from time to time but there is also a generic joystick plugin that can be used as a fill in. It is working fine at the moment, I was using it on the weekend.

    Project Cars 2 also works great with SimTools.

    Just so you know there is a specific thread section for commercial sims, if you have questions: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/forums/simtools-for-commercial-purposes.159/

    And Pro license support, as that license is required for SimTools use with commercial simulators: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/forums/simtools-pro-entertainment-version.176/

    I hope that eases your concerns a little.

    Welcome @manuel staedel.

    I am not exactly sure what you have in mind but if you mean a wheel then check out various approached in the FAQ peripheral section: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/steering-wheels.65/

    If you mean something different then you will likely find it somewhere in the FAQs: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/

    bonjour à tous.
    je suis un nouvel arrivant sur le forum.
    cela fait quelques mois que je le parcours pour m'aider et me donner des idées pour mon projet de simulateur.
    je suis en train de construire un simulateur 3dof yaw à base d'Arduino + bouclier moto monster + moteurs d'essuie-glace.
    je posterais bientôt des photos salut à tous.

    Welcome @stilotto.

    You will likely find the FAQ 6DOF section useful: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/6dof.22/category

    And you can use the custom Google search top right to find all 6DOF projects, which are worth reviewing as they well answer some of your questions.

    Hello all I just came across this site while looking for a way to build a diy motion simulator. I'm currently in school in the US to become an Electrical Engineer and I really want to build a 3 or 6 DOF rig to play VR space sims on! I've never taken on a project of this magnitude but I'm really excited to try.

    Hello everyone! :)
    As I'm also a new user I thought I introduce myself as well!
    I use sim racing as a way to experience the art of drifting like I "can't" in real life. My goal is to get as close to the real thing as possible within my given possibilities.
    What's left in my current setup is feeling (any kind of) the forces of a real car. So I figured the next step towards my goal is motion!
    Therefore I joined this community and also started my very own build thread as of right now:
    https://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/2-dof-seat-mover-build.11505/

    If some of you feel like joining my journey I would love to her your feedback on my (current) progress. :thumbs

    Hi everyone!

    I thought it would be the nice thing to do, to use my first post to introduce myself.
    I am a 22 year old Automotive Engineering student living in The Netherlands. As I am in the fourth year of my study, I'm almost done with my education. The last thing left to do is a graduation assignment, which brings me to this forum. My assignment is to build a motion simulator for a company that produces carbon fibre parts, but also complete F1 style monocoques. As time is limited and graduation assignments assume that you develop a lot yourself, I'm not quite sure yet how far I'll come. Thinking of making a BRD style simulator, for which I'll develop the whole motion calculation in Simulink by using the game's exported vehicle dynamics data. I could use existing programs, but that probably wouldn't be enough to pass.
    I have some electronics experience and have fooled around with arduino's before. I have done some multibody simulations in Matlab and Simulink before. Still in need of a lot of help on some problems I'm afraid (no motion simulator experience so far), but looking at all the response I see on the forum, I think I'm in good hands here.
