    Welcome @FlyingDoc.

    Sounds like you already have a great range of your own DIY skills to lean on and the community here can help you consider how telemetry driven motion, in its many DIY guises, may ad to your rig.

    Hello everyone, I'm Masatami, from Argentina AKA the land of tango and yerba mate. I've been playing ETS2 in VR for a couple of months and just happened to stumble upon motion sims while looking to buy a static cockpit. After looking at several builds here and on YouTube (shoutout to D Max) I decided to build my own. Now, there aren't many options around here because of the, um, "economy", but for the time being I'll aim for a 2dof plus heave steel-welded platform using wiper motors, which I think will work best as there aren't many times when traction loss or other motions come into play while trucking. If the stars align I might finish it around the end of May, but overambition is my middle name so maybe I'm being too optimistic.

    Anyway, right now I'm in the process of hooking up/testing the motors and the Arduino, but I have some questions about which power supply and potentiometers I should use. I see @noorbeast is giving additional info to newcomers, would you mind telling me if I should post asking about this on the DIY Motion Simulator Building Q&A / FAQ subforum? Or should I create my thread on DIY Motion Simulator Projects? Many thanks in advance :)

    Welcome @masatami.

    You can put a general question in the Q&A / FAQ sub forum, but it is better to start your own build thread in the Projects section and raise all questions as well as document your build: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/forums/diy-motion-simulator-projects.22/

    That way members can provide insights, suggestions and help, knowing the full context for your particular project.

    Please do check the FAQs before raising a question, to see if it is already covered: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/

    You can also search for specific types of projects/information using the Google Custom Search function on the Recent page: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/find-new/posts?recent=1

    Hello everyone! James here from Aruba. Finally retired I can dedicate time to building an awesome 6 DOF for MSFS2020. But like they say you have to learn to walk before you run. So. Baby steps first. I am not an electronic engineer. A lot of networking and computer experience and a retired commercial pilot. This site is awesome but at the same time overwhelming. I have been reading and studying a lot trying not to ask a question that has been asked a million times. So I am going to create my first post with all the details I can because obviously, now I need help. My first goal is Pitch and Roll 2 RC servos connected to Arduino Mega. More details and screenshots in my post. Thank you in advance for all the help.

    Hi everyone, I introduce myself!

    I'm Philip from Germany.
    I have purchased a 4DoF MDBox System but can't get it working :(

    I'm looking forward to your awesome forum to get that issue fixed!

    everyone I'm a new member I hope to be able to share experiences even if I'm not very good because I'm now entering the world of driving simulation, I bought a 4 dof station but I rightly believe whoever designed it meant that on sim tools I can't work with it as the interface is blocked and I can't add new plug-ins, even if I don't know where to start right now
    What can I say, congratulations to everyone for the contribution you give and have a nice day
    Thank you

    So I am new to Motion Simulation. Like most that are just starting in this forum.
    I have been using VR for 3 years (Oculus Quest 2 atm), and this also finally got me into racing games.
    Just around 2 weeks ago I had the opportunity to get a YAW VR version 1 motion simulator for a very good price, and jumped at it, having looked into motion sims for a while. While there is a steep learing curve, sparse documentation and overall a lot of DIY that has to be done, having a full motion simulation is awesome and a lot of fun. So I am hoping to find likeminded people here. If someone is in Germany and has a Yaw VR, shoot me a message!
    The setup for the wheel and HOTAS are still very temporary, as these are not the final pieces of hardware.[​IMG]

    Hi,
    I found this amazing resource from watching Peacemaker Motions videos on his 6DOF build. I'm a retired radio comms techie living in Raglan, Victoria Australia. Hoping to build a setup to go with MSFS and having a bit of a race around Mt Panorama would be sweet. Cheers Les
