    Hi peeps

    My friend is selling a frex simulator

    Belive it's got the simconmoition controller with frex pedals and handbrake plus gear shifter....it's about 7 years old

    Not had a hard life apparently. .he wants 1000 usd

    My question is it worth buying and upgrading to x simulator software? ?

    Will post pics soon of the rig. .

    My current rig is T300rs with thrustmaster shifter and nextlevel steering wheel stand plus a dxracer bucket seat....am runing the htc vive which is awesome but just wanted to take it to the next level with the moition simulator. ..or is it not worth it ?

    Friends rig is a seat mover. ..are they any goof or would it be better to have a seat and pedal mover ?

    Thanks for all reply s

    I posted a link earlier covering how to convert Frex for use with SimTools, which is what members here use.

    SimTools and X-sim are two different motion software solutions and the latter has a different website to here with its own separate community: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/whats-the-difference-between-simtools-and-x-sim.1/

    I don't know much about Frex pedals but for that price, it's a must buy IMO.
    Actuators alone will set you back close to the price of the whole rig ;)

    My CSN's are at least 5 years old and still going strong.
