    Hello people,
    I'm very happy that I found this site (so many interesting projects). I was looking for information about FFB DIY Wheel.
    I have some experience on building and designing racing cockpits, especially from PVC. I would be happy to share my knowledge.
    Here is my recently built PVC cockpit (a fully adjustable one capable of F1 position):

    (It looks like I'm not allowed to show photos or links)

    A 3D model presentation of the cockpit you can watch here: search on youtube as PVC cockpit 41 PL 20º

    Welcome @Aris

    You can find some information on various DIY FFB wheels in the FAQs: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/steering-wheels.65/

    You will be able to add some photos and links soon, unfortunately there was a spate of spam posts and the administrator @RaceRay had no choice but to put some extra measures in place for new users. So start a new thread and you will soon be able to post both links and pictures, plus have a place for your FFB wheel project.

    Hi my name is Capwe and I live in France. I plan to build a 2DOF motion seat by using an Arduino UNO R3 and a Hbridge (homemade or commercial one) to drive to wiper motors. I hope I could find some help in the future if I need for my project.
    Greetings,
    Capwe

    You have come to the right place for motion simulation software, information and support from a very active community.

    Have a look at existing member builds for ideas and inspiration, it could well help you refine what you may like to do for your own project: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/forums/diy-motion-simulator-projects.22/

    You will find the FAQ section covers some more specific topic areas, like types of simulators, designs and motors: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/

    And don't forget to take a moment and add yourself to the Member Map: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/memberMap/

    Hi there, new here and would like to make a motion sim for Dirt Rally and Assetto Corsa (and possibly a flight sim) using my Oculus Rift.
    Don't have a clue where to start or what I need, but will have fun learning.
