    I've recently been putting together some sketches and designs to building a motion sim using 4 hydraulic pistons and pumps....I just wanted to see if anyone had any sort of advice or knowledge about building one of these things...Thanks!

    Not many use hydraulics these days, it can be done but do outline how the actuators are to be controlled and interfaced with with SimTools.

    Would you suggest using air shocks and an air compressor instead?

    It would help if you post a sketch of what design you would like to build, that way members can comment on ways to power it.
