    then build the simulator again, this took me almost half of Saturday, I know it takes a lot of work but the satisfaction of making one with your own hands and that it works is priceless IMG_20220723_190517831.jpg

    When I started to do the tests I realized that it had totally changed, it was like night and day, but when I changed the driving position, the pedals were uncomfortable, so I had to disassemble again, this time the pedalboard IMG_20220723_191636150.jpg

    finally I put the base of the pedals back, I put two screws and put everything back together, I'm happy with the result and it's looking like I dreamed it, I know I still have a long way to go but little by little I will achieve it IMG_20220723_202030235.jpg

    Hi, I'm still in this adventure modifying the simulator to improve it and it occurred to me to make a box for the auduino and other components, searching I found an old computer cabinet in the trash IMG_20220725_142912807.jpg

    I disassembled the entire cabinet and with the pieces I began to shape it to be able to adapt it to the simulator IMG_20220725_143428516.jpg

    After struggling for a long time, cutting, bending and screwing several screws I was able to put it together and also the cabinet lid that I put on it had two coolers that I also connected to the simulator source and it was fully functional, so I was very happy with the progress that I made I managed today IMG_20220725_155001527.jpg

    Hi everyone! Today the computer I was waiting for finally arrived and I put the code for the free simtools license that I was able to get with so much effort and help from the community, my question is, I want to download plugins for games, can they be paid with community coins? or should I buy a download package? To the one who reads please I ask you to help me

    Use 250 of your coins here: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/shop/

    That will give you a week access to download as many plugins as you want and those plugins will remain active as long as there are no game changes that break the plugins: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/coins-and-how-to-download-plugins.2/

    thanks, I'll do that, now I have a big problem since I wanted to put simtools to work on my new pc I haven't been able to, I make the motors work with the SMC3 program but, with simtools it doesn't work, in the interface I put all the data but does not let save
