    Alright guys, so I have started working on my simulator again after nearly 4 years as life (House & a Baby) got in the way.

    I have made a few changes to the electronics and the rig itself as I wanted to use my Obutto Ozone. Design is still somewhat in a prototype phase (thats why it's wooden) before a swith to metal.

    Made modifications to the motor mounts to make them sturdy.

    Big Thanks to @Historiker for prinitng the POT Gears and shipping them to me and pushing me to finish the sim :)

    I will be looking to shrink the size of this rig. Ideas are welcome.

    Here is the motion testing with AC and FlyPT mover.



    Here are the settings for the FlyPT mover. Fly1.png Fly2.png Fly3.png

    Without low pass filters the sim was ready to eject me out of the seat.
