    Welcome @Toddbee.

    Doing some research before getting in too deep is time well spent.

    Please bounce your plans and shopping list off members before jumping too far down what can be an expensive rabbit hole, if you get it wrong.

    Use the Search on the Recent page to find recent Stewart projects, as they have refined over time.

    You will also find plenty of helpful information in the FAQs: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/

    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 thread here and detail your project, so members can give support and advice where possible: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/forums/diy-motion-simulator-projects.22/

    Good luck with your project.

    Hello everyone,
    I live in France, I’m not that young anymore (61 years old), and I’m planning to build myself a simulator with 3 or 4 motors. With a bit of sweat, some welding, and some computing, that’s why I joined this forum. For now, I’m reading, reading, and checking out the different projects.

    Hi everyone
    I'm electrician from swedish almost 50,
    And my primary poison is flying ww2 in vr.
    I stumbled in here coincidentally when dreaming about owning my own motion simulator
    And realised that it was possible to build it myself with help and knowledge gained her.
