    Hello guys! I am an hispanic person here trying to make a fly simulator and i think this is a good place to invest time for that. I study mechatronic engineering and Im very excite to participate in this project for an aeronautic school, i hope to find help here.

    Btw: Are there some treathd where find how to configure an arduino and the simtools ?

    Welcome @Elvis A. Ramírez.

    You will find plenty of helpful information in the FAQs to get you started,
    including Arduino code options, I would suggest you try SMC3 first, as it is easier to configure and used my many members, plus suports a range of different hardware: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/arduino.6/category

    Also check out the SimTools, fundamentals of motion and the design sections: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/

    Hello, my name is Dave and Im a masochist.

    But really. I am winding up a virtual pinball project and I thought to myself "Self, what should I do after
    the vpin? Oh, I know. How about another complecated and portentially expensive project!"

    I am reallllllly new to this world. I got my interest sparked by watching some youtube videos(DMAX notibly) and that lead me to the presipice of another deeeeeep rabbit hole. I think the thing that intrigues me most about the idea of building a motion sim (other than actually playing it) is all the fun things I know Ill learn along the way. I am looking forward to trying my hand at welding in particular.

    It might be a bit before I can start a project in earnest , but I do intend on taking some time to look throuh the forums, faqs, projects, etc and try to get my bearings before I start buying/building/etc.

    What an awesome forum.
    I'm an auto electrician from Australia and I like to build stuff.
    I've been stalking the forums for a good while, researching, reading the FAQs, and I've finally decided it's time for me to build one on a budget, but not budget looking.
    Plan is to build a 2dof with wiper motors to see if I can get it all to work first, I'll document the build once my arduino turns up. Frame will be made from offcuts of shs and rhs from work.
    Looking forward to the build and hearing any suggestions and criticism anyone has

    Hello,

    New member here. New to sim racing this year; using a Symdeck and Fanatec setup (v3 pedals, gt dd pro etc etc)

    I'm natively a console gamer (hate all the troubleshooting of PC but here I am)

    Does anyone know how to change your user/display name? I'd prefer not to use my actual name...

    Hey all!
    I am really excited to join this community of creative folks!
    I am from Nova Scotia, Canada and am completely new to all things electronic so this is going to be an adventure.
    I started getting inspiration from one of the members of this forum @Halloween2go, who has a really helpful youtube channel on his trials and tribulations of building various platforms.
    I have plans to build something similar to his and have picked up all the electronic components needed for the project plus the 3 motors. I will be doing 3 DOF (traction loss).
    I think I might make my cockpit/platform in wood to start with and then rebuild it in steel after I pick up a flux core welder sometime in the next few months.
    I look forward to the adventure and chatting! There has been so much helpful information here, so thanks for being awesome :)
    Nick
