    ebinary, this is one of the coolest sims I have seen yet. Very nice work. It doesn't look like you are active on this board anymore but just in case, where did you pick up your actuators on salvage? Also, one thing I was surprised about is how little weight the platform could actually handle. You say with 270 pounds of riders plus the wood and chair, the actuators are right at their limit. That doesn't sound correct for actuators that are rated to 578 Lbf each. I assume you monitored them and know they were at their limit? Could you please explain?
