    Hi Trent. I think a solution to this problem is in the works. I'll reply in the Oculus thread here:

    Hi together.

    I'm Martin from Austria, and I already build my Smulator last year. Currently I running x-sim software, but as I'm currently redesigning the simulator, I will give the SimTools a try.
    I will post some more info on my Simulator later on.

    Hello all,
    Just a short introduction, I am 50 yo male and have had my interests in a simulator spurned by a taste of something different, and am interested in building my own simulator for the satisfaction of building it, and hopefully it works to my expectations.

    I have an idea in my head on the design, and after researching, I came across this site and will use information, and also contribute my failures and successes.

    Hope to communicate as I start my project

    Hello! I'm new member here.

    I am just lerning the basic of the Arduino, and my plan is to build a realistic Tupolev-154 cockpit.

    If you can help me in anything I will be very thankful! :)

    Hi, my son and I found this site not long ago after we decided to have ago building a cockpit simulator. We have made a 6 dof simulator using Rc servos to help us understand things better and yes it all works. A big thank you from us for the Sim Tools software it is really good, and so easy to use. We live in Auckland, NewZealand so if anyone is close say Hi.

    Kind Regards
    Jim

    Hi Jim!

    Congratulations for a working miniature sim! Could you share a video?
    It's really a good project to do with a son ;-)

    Hi all, been a member of the forums for a while but never got around to posting anything and kinda been away from the sim scene for the last few years. Now looking to get back into things and restart my plan to build a simulator, going to start simple and work my way up over time (as experience allows) to a 6DoF rotational sim :) that's the plan anyway as long as the BH agrees!! Will be using the great knowledge on here to help as I go along.

    hello, my name is Eduardo and I live in Brazil. I'm here for more information about Mjoy16 board. My biggest doubt is as to her support on the PS3. Has anyone tried to mount your simulator for PS3? which card used? meanwhile, I'll continue reading more about this board, whereas in Brazil it costs $ 165 and is a high price to me hahahah.

    nice to meet you!

    Hello everyone, my name is Dominick. I am a programmer and inventor who develops a wide range of software applications for both PCs and smartphones. I've had extensive knowledge on programming languages such as .NET, C++, HTML, PHP, Java, and ASP. In addition, I am a hobbyist who takes great interest with computer hardware, robotics, mechatronics, and computer science.

    In June 2013, I built a fully functional 2DOF Arduino-Pneumatic Flight Simulator at my high school. With the guidance of my Physics Professor, Dr. Bert Pinsky, we were among the few to accomplish such a project in the history of California High Schools. I have posted my documentation of how I built the simulator on the Instructables website as well as making my own website for this project. However, I fully realize that our flight simulator has its own limits. This is why I joined the Xsimulator community - to gain better knowledge and share my experience with fellow hobbyists like you.

    If you would like to get more information about my Flight Simulator, you can visit: http://lifebeam.net/flightsim

    Upload to youtube @Toolmaker then you can add them to a post or inturn zip (WinRAR) the files and attach to a post, first method preferred.

    Bonjour, je suis bien content d'avoir trouvé un site comme le votre avec des personnes qui aide des nouveaux comme moi.
    je vais construire un simulateur dynamique avec un volant ( ClubSport Wheel Base EU, BMW M3 GT2 Rim for ClubSport Wheel EU, Formula Rim for ClubSport Wheel EU, CSR Pedals EU) voila pour le volant, avec vibration (ButtKicker low frequency audio transducers).
    pour les jeux F1 2013, et Richard Burns Rally.
    un grand merci à vous pour le savoir.
    Frédéric de Nice :cheers :thumbs

    Hi,

    Newbie here. I traded a few messages with motiondave on insidesimracing.tv and he pointed me this way.

    I was looking at a simxperience stage 4, but for the £6000 it will cost in the UK unassembled, I thought I should look at other options. So here I am :)
