    Hey, thank you. I'll elaborate on my thoughts.
    In stick FFB, the strength of the center position increases with increasing speed, for example, of the aircraft.
    Can we use some kind of filter in FlyPt to achieve this? I think the easiest way would be to use the wind fan control signal.

    Best regards,

    Tadek

    Mover could be a very interesting solution of course but If you’re looking for a FFB joystick for now, a relatively recent Lithuanian development „vpforcecontrols“ is extremely respectable.
    The proprietary servo motors are sold as a kit for DIY or included in a complete device package. Their control and telemetry software is very advanced with a dynamic community support on discord.

    Hello,
    Dear colleagues, I've been using FlyPt for years. I'm very happy with it. I have a question: is it possible to use the platform from photos?
    If so, could you tell me where I can find such a tool?
    Best regards, Tadek

    I just had a look, and I don’t think FlyPT-Mover supports the kinematic model you’re showing in your photos. You’d need some kind of extension that can calculate the motor positions for that geometry.

    You could give it a try as a 3DOF setup with 4 actuators, as long as your motor control is FlyPT-compatible. Just keep in mind that the positions won’t be accurate — it’ll move, but probably not in the way you expect. Whether that’s useful to you is another story. Mechanically, though, there shouldn’t be any issues since the bearings can handle that kind of setup.

    If you’re actually planning to build such a platform yourself, I’d really recommend going straight for a 6DOF. There’s plenty of support and documentation out there for that geometry.

    Have you checked the latest beta version of FlyPT-Mover? Maybe there are some new geometry options in there. I haven’t spent much time on it myself lately since

    Yeah for that kind of money and to not have 6DOF is crazy.

    Hi,
    Not that expensive...
    I can buy it for 2500 euros.

    Hello.
    I'm building 2DOF motion platform for MSFS and investigating FlyPT Mover currently.

    I've added the Rotating 2DOF Rig and see some overlapping in controls:

    Is it a known bug? Is there a way how to fix that on my side?
    Thanks.

    Yes, it's caused by scale
    Try to change scale to 100 in the options
    I need to update the 2DOF modules

    There's a module for that rig, but I need to change some calculations to be an exact match

    It's the Linear 4DOF in the new version of Mover

    Thanks for the fast response!
    It is already 100 in the Mover options. Windows scaling is also 100%.

    UPD: Setting scale to 125 helped to carry those background controls out of the foreground ones. Thanks.

    Hi
    Thank you pmvcda
    You're the best
    What do you mean: "I need to change some calculations to be an exact match"
    Do you think there's a chance this platform could be adapted to work with FlyPT?
    It uses bus control. What do you think could replace it?
    all the information I have now is from the manufacturer's website
    https://web.motion-sim.cz/racing
    Thank you for your interest.
    All my hopes lie with you.
    I'll just use heave/pitch/roll

    Best regards,
    Tadek
