    Hi all, new member here!

    My name is Marco and I am an Arduino and arcade racing games enthusiast, so my Subscription would be only a matter of time !

    I am planning to build up a low cost 2DOF simulator to enjoy outrun 2006 at its best, so I went here to learn from the masters of the matter.

    See you around here!

    Hello all, Keith here from Texas. I have been racing on iracing for about a year. Slowly upgrading my rig. Currently have a custom made 80/20 rig with triple 43" 4k tvs, CS v3 pedals. I have an OSW wheel and used Frex simconmotion being delivered this week! I stumbled onto this site by looking for ways to improve the Frex. Glad to be a part of the forum.
    Thanks,
    Keith

    Hello!
    My name is Alexey.
    I'm new to the forum.
    I'm the pilot of a light aircraft.
    I live in Russia.
    Now we have a bad weather, I want to build a 2DOF aircraft simulator, so as not to lose skills in bad weather.
    Like in the game of DCS HTC Vive glasses.
    And of course I need a plug-in for DCS :)

    Hello,
    It looks like I have found the place for the info I'm looking for. I have built three static rigs so far but am now wanting to build a motion sim. Race mostly with PCars these days. Also want to use it for flight sim as well.
    I'm a Tool&Diemaker by trade and have my own shop so manufacturing is no problem. I have an average understanding of electronics.
    Looking forward to researching this forum.
    Thanks,
    Steve
