    Hello my name is Fabian, from Switzerland. I had many years of racing gaming and now I'm interested in motion sims.

    Already learnt a lot from this community and looking forward to learn a lot more to set up my new rig.

    Thanks in advance, nice driving everybody! :)

    Hi, my name is Lukas and I'm from Poland. I started to build my belt driven ffb steering wheel and 3dof motion rig about month ago. I love electronics, programming and constructing things. I play assetto corsa and dirt rally 2.0.
    Nice to meet you all :)

    Hi,
    I'm a new kid on the block.
    I'm 64 years old and I'm interested in building a 360 simulator.
    I need guidance in where to put my questions correctly.

    Welcome @wolfie_24.

    Many of our community are both frugal and creative, so spend plenty of time researching before ordering or starting to build.

    You will find plenty of helpful information in the FAQs to get you started, in particular check out the SimTools, fundamentals of motion and the design sections: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/

    If budget is important check out @Halloween2go's budget build video: https://www.xsimulator.net/communit...-with-wiper-motors-arduino-ibt2-and-smc3.391/

    You can also search for specific types of projects/information using the Google Custom Search function on the Recent page: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/find-new/posts?recent=1

    If something sounds odd then look it up in the glossary: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/glossary-of-acronyms-and-names.66/

    When you are ready please start your own project thread here, ask any questions you have there and detail your project progress: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/forums/diy-motion-simulator-projects.22/

    The demo version of SimTools includes the fully functional Live For Speed plugin, specifically for testing purposes, just make sure you run LFS before patching it for motion: https://www.xsimulator.net/communit...run-in-first-person-mode-before-patching.365/

    There is a strict eligibility criteria for the free DIY SimTools license: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/request-a-free-diy-simtools-2-0-license.262/

    Good luck with your project.

    G'day all. I registered yesterday after taking days to read one build thread...

    I'm keen to read and learn, and will start a build thread when I have locked-in my plan. Most likely it will be a simple shoulder-mount 2DOF, with added loss of traction via a third motor, and VR. It will be used my myself and "the kids", so cannot be too complicated at the moment. I do like the idea of vibrations for more immersion.

    Hello, I am French, I discovered static and VR simracing 1 year ago. I found it great but without movement, you quickly become sick.
    After seeing some Youtube videos and discovering this forum, I decided to build my 2 Dof simulator to start with.
