    Hi guys!

    I have been impressed by how many 6DOF projects were in progress here or finished!

    http://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/list-of-6dof-projects.179/
    In this FAQ, I gathered 3 finished projects from @merchan-e, @SilentChill ,@vulbas 1er.gif
    and 7 work in progess by @jthiani, @SeatTime, @wannabeaflyer, @iMakeRobots, @RiftFlyer, @Historiker, @hooshang

    But I have found very few information about Simtools setup:
    This thread could be a place where to exchange information about 6DOF setup in Simtools.

    Simtools can easily drive a 6 DOF simulator! +.gif
    we can fancy a simulator like this
    a classical seat-mover Pitch + Roll
    + on top of Surge table
    + Traction Loss platform
    + with heave actuator
    + belt tensionner
    ​
    But a 6DOF stewart platform requires specific calculus...

    How Simtools can drive a stewart platform easily? because we are struggling with @vulbas ...

    @yobuddy @value1 @eaorobbie : Is it possible at the moment by using only the filters and parameters in the Axis Assignements?
    or does this requires a specific plugin? or an additionnal companion app?

    It would be good to make the calculus on PC rather than on an external electronic board!
    Thanks!

    When I get some time, I will write a piece on this - there is allot of misinformation running around - :rolleyes:. Eg. I also have a copy of BFF's software which uses true 6DOF math, but instead was running a 10 axis sim with Simtools.
