    Hi guys, I'm from the Canary Islands, and I've built a simulator with two SCN5 actuators, second hand bought on ebay. I need a demo version, or something that moves me in the engines, to know if my simulator works,
    And if it works for me, I would not mind buying a license
    regards

    Hi,

    my name is Markku and I am from Germany.
    When my neighbour told me about his dream having a "movable rack for gaming", i started to search for this.
    Of course, I never aspected that this "Simulator thing" is such big.
    And now i am awaiting for lots of components like the Arduino, H-Bridges, Wires, Pots and other stuff.
    Theres already a (cheap) Racing Seat we will use.
    So when its getting really cold, i will start with building the frame.

    Of course, I will keep you up to date.

    Hi everybody,

    My name is Alex, 45 years old and I live in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. I've been playing racing games for a whopping two weeks now with a G29 and as I'm a tinkerer at heart I started looking for more realism almost right away. My short term goals are to build a G-seat based on some very good and smart designs over here. I have a background in electronics and develop software for a living. When I have something to show I'll start a build thread to show you my progress, of course. Now waiting for some power servo's to arrive :D

    I'm looking forward to learn and share here because the amount of knowledge is amazing! :)

    Welcome @Fonzie.

    There is a Frex conversion guide in the FAQs. There are also some pretty helpful members who can give advice on your own thread.
