    Hi Guys.
    This is awesome. I'm so excited about building a motion simulator..
    My friend recently got me back into Racing Simulators (now that my children are a bit older).
    Looking to build a 2 DOF base, I have trawled the internet and have most of what I need coming in the next few weeks.
    I'm an ex mechanical designer (game developer now) so I'll be designing everything up before hand. I'll post more about my project soon.

    Cheers and great site / software

    At the moment this controlled , I had a little problem with my axis direction that initially moving but already is solved.the problem I have is that I do not work the old Frex system since installing the x - sim.can be the port?

    Thank you

    Hi guys, nice to see you, my name is Paolo texting from Italy

    make my own sim was my dream, and since I'm a software engineer with experience with PC and PLC (industrial automation).... pity I did not met you before !!!
    Cause actually I'm no more a sim driver (problem with my eyes, I can't watch a video for more than 5 minutes without a pause, and some eye-drops) so I moved to the other side... from driver to viewer, spectator, and I realized that live race coverages can be enormously improved with some overlay.
    I did an app for race overlay that works completely in manual mode (i.e. you have to update every single data you want to be seen on video overlay) so you can use even with consoles... but now with P.Cars there is the chance to have data coming from the game. And I'm quite sure this technology will be used by other racing games in next future.

    I'll follow you to catch some ideas... since I'm quite sure you are not interested in my field of application :))))

    Hi,
    My name is Thibaut. I'm French but live in Dubai, U.A.E.
    I'm looking to upgrade my Playseat Evolution with a 2 motion system and I'm actually waiting for 2 Aura bass shakers.

    I've just discovered your website and feel less lonely in finding a good system with a good ban for for bucks.

    I will locate myself on the map asap but it's not working from my mobile.

    See you on the forum
