    Hello everyone! Although a year ago I started building my own motorized seat, I've had it abandoned for lack of time so far.

    Finally it is finished, I would like to know what I need to be able to have my simulator of movement at home with xs simulator working.

    I made the project at home from scratch, I read many post and I copied the ideas that best suited my space. I have bought all the necessary materials and I have manufactured mechanical parts and electronics by amazon or ebay. And with my knowledge of welding and electronics and reading many guides I finally got it.
    I had to change the measures of the support points since I did them without engineering knowledge and was very aggressive, I broke the engines by big levers.
    The tests I did with other free software (x-sim) but I think that xs simulator is more complete and simple to program. I would like to know the money that I have to spend to have my simulator running with all my simulators, currently I have bought several driving and other flight (assetto corsa, Project cars, dirt rally, x-plane 11, dcs world) all of steam .

    Thank you very much for your help.

    Conditions apply, including having a suitable build thread, but if you meet them then your would be eligible for a free DIY SimTools 2.0 license, see here for details: https://www.xsimulator.net/request-diy-key-simtools/

    You can also purchase SimTools, the Pro version also has things like Game Vibe and Game Dash support: https://simtools.us/license/

    You can use forum activity coins or real money to get download access to plugins, see here for details: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/coins-and-how-to-download-plugins.2/

    Thanks Noorbeast for your prompt response.
    Of course, I have read all the links that you have offered me, but even so I have my doubts:

    One of the options that I have seen is, as you say, make the presentation of my project, and thus get a free license (I understand that this would be the equivalent of the DYD 49.99 $ license) what I do not know is if I would have access to the pluggins that I need for my simulators without paying anything else, if it is forever or would have a certain duration of time.

    I understand that with this license I could also download sim tools for free?
    If so, this afternoon I'll get down to work with the preparation of the official presentation of my 2 dof motion simulator.
    Could you confirm if I understood correctly? Excuse me, my English is very poor.
    Many thanks again.

    SimTools licensing and plugin access are two different things.

    As per the links I gave the SimTool license only covers SimTools itself. If you meet the eligibility criteria you can get the DIY license for free.

    You have to use forum activity coins or real money to buy plugin access, which is separate from SimTools: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/coins-and-how-to-download-plugins.2/

    I only have one last doubt, if you were so kind to answer it I would be very grateful. I hope not to end your patience ...
    As they explain with 250 coins I have access to download the plug-ins I need for my favorite games for a week ...
    This means that after that week the pluggins acquired stop working, or they are activated forever and what happens is that after that week I could not download more pluggins?

    I hope it is the second option, because I would use the simulator only a few hours a month, so I would have to be buying download packages every time I used it.
    In the other way, in a week I have the possibility to download the pluggins of my games and I would not need anymore because I only use the 6 or 7 simulators that I have installed.

    Thank you very much for your patience and understanding. You do a great job of help. Definitely. I hope I did not bother. Since I want to belong to this community and contribute knowledge from now on.

    In short, if I get the free DIY license, I would end up buying the unlimited Premium access, if I have unlimited use of pluggin and contribute to support the creators of this software. I see it fair. Thanks for your help.

    You can download as many plugins as you like during the week and they will continue working after that week . The plugins will continue to work unless a game update breaks the plugin at some point in the future.

    Perfect! I just read this same response to another partner, thanks again for your patience. I try to read in the forum before asking but sometimes I can not find the information I'm looking for.
    I'm preparing my presentation, I hope it helps the community in something.
    Thank you.
