    Don’t worry though @ACTIVE-GAME. The soon to be released Simtools 2.0 will take care of it. Due to you and others before you, it will now require registration. What your doing now should be okay when that happens as long as you tell your customers they can use Simtools 2.0 version with the purchase of a Simtools 2.0 Professional license. :)

    Or even better, you will be able to purchase licenses yourself in order to supply Simtools 2.0 with your rigs.

    I wonder how many they have sold so far. In some countries its common to copy and steal others ideas and make money by producing cheap copies(monster motos as one example). Some even base their economy on this practice. But remember @ACTIVE-GAME, SIMTOOLS is not open source like some other software. It is good that you are willing to pay for what goes on here. There has been a considerable investment of both time and money on this site and the software that goes with it. The creators/owners of this "intellectual" property do not wish to give it away freely for the profit of commercial entities. The goal here as I understand it is DIY. We here rarely see stuff related to this hobby and say "I need to buy that" the common response here is "How do I build that". Good luck with your venture. I hope these threads have helped clear up any misunderstandings you may have had regarding SIMTOOLS use and licensing. Seeing that your design is posted here and it shares a lot of common ideas presented here it may even be in the realm of things for some people to say your design includes what you saw or learned here.......................

    @Rodrigo Baornio. I don't think that will work with only 40kg on the actuators. I built the dbox style with 4 actuators and an extrs one for traction loss. They are 100mm and 100kg each. The traction loss one is 40 or 60kg and 150mm.
    I got them from frex in Japan. If you need other info glad to help

    FYI I just bought at frex gp a snc5 150 mm (pnp euro ilk) to upgrade my traction loss from 100 mm stoke to 150 . It is worth it as now the yen is a bit lower . I am very pleased with the quality of the actuator. they are exactly the same as the one supplied by Mirai

    Frex is definitely an option for Snc5 and snc6

    a bit excessive IMO. but to each their own. the cinema thing for $22 a seat might work for those that arent interested in going down the rabbit hole. At this point the number of movies is low. The funniest part is on the website they actually list it as an affordable solution:confused:. This IMO is not one of its highlights.
