    Hello,
    I'm Tony, an engineer from Italy. I like work with electronic stuf, and I decided to build my 6 DOF car simulator.
    I read yet so many page in your interesting forum, but I didin't find a tutorial about 6 Dof.
    Do you can help me and told me where to start and if there is a road map to design a 6 Dof.
    thanks
    Tony!

    As you will see from the 6dof example projects there is many ways to build a 6DOF depending on what you want your simulator to do and how much mass you want to move. Being an engineer you should have no problems understanding the concepts involved.
