    A few years ago, I built a 3DOF racing simulator with wiper motors. It allowed to transcribe the pitch, roll and heave effects.
    It worked very well for a few years and then some engines broke down.
    I wanted to build a new simulator G-Seat type with servomotors running with simtools but I abandoned the project because the sensations did not suit me.
    So I will restart my 3DOF with more powerful engines. The engines I ordered should arrive next week.
    In the meantime, here's a video to show you what my simulator looked like when it worked:

    I bought a Simtools license on 25/01/2018. I installed the software suite on 2 PCs. One for Game Manager and one for Game Engine.
    I would like to change the second PC. How can I recover the license to install it on the new PC?

    Just to clarify, as I am not clear what you mean, you can use a single SimTools license for a dual install, but not two separate installs.

    The SimTools EULA is here: https://simtools.us/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/EULA-License-Agreement.pdf

    You can look up your SimTools license number, just log into SimTools.us: https://simtools.us/member-login/
    Use the email you purchased the Licenses with, and if you don't have a password, click reset password.

    Hello. I only have one installation on 2 PCs. Sorry if I was not clear enough.
    However, your answer is very clear. Thank you so much.
    I managed the installation, I took the opportunity to upgrade to the latest version of Simtools.

    I made some minor changes to the structure of my old 3DOF Simulator. Here is what it looks like.

    My 3DOF motion simulator is finally in function. It works with a 3DOF 120W kit From Simukit.

    Here is a video of my installation. It is not finished. I have to make the cockpit to integrate everything. Sorry for the poor quality of the video but we can see the simulator working with its 3 DOF.

    I use 2 PCs to make it work. The one used to launch Game Engine is a Z83. It is small, cheap and does the job very well.
