    Ok, jokes aside, to summarize...

    For a 6DOF interface that works only on simtools, I'll need:

    2x PCI speedy cards ($200)
    2x arduinos (about $100 for original ones to support their open hardware effort)

    Hmm... plus shipping... still not cheaper solution

    Ok, $200 is more like it, for 8bit output resolution interface that supports only one motion software. Meh.

    I mean I really like to have the choice to switch to other motion software if I want. I see lots of members here with 6dof platforms use Ian's 6dof bff motion software for flight simulators.
