    Hello, good to all.
    I introduce my self, although I have been following you and reading for several years to be able to create my simulator without spamming, because if you read all the threads there is, it is possible to create it. Thank you
    I am Raúl, a Spanish mechanic who has gasoline running through his veins and at this point I need help or advice so as not to waste money on components that will not work for me.

    This is my project today, I took my cockpit and four things that I collected in the workshop and here you have it

    Now I'm looking to make it in aluminum to do something similar to this

    My idea is that for the moment the entire structure moves, then I will study how to increase another motor for loss of traction.
    My doubts are with the engines, I have some looks that I saw in a video and I would like your opinion. Obviously as cheap as possible without harming the final result.
    These are the engines
    Do you think they will go well? of how many revolutions do I ask for 75, 120 or 180 or if you know what motors I can look for, it would be good for me. thank you

    And for the future loss of traction, will I have to change the arduino uno for arduino mega? TRUE? would i have to change something else?

    Thanks.
    I'll take a look at this program, although I still don't have the aluminum structure but I'll be doing tests. I would also appreciate advice and comments on the matter since I don't have much free time, I'm not very good with computers and I don't know English so the program will surely be in English. But I'll make you want

    Hello good. I have already ordered the aluminum profiles and when I have it assembled, I will try simcalc since I still do not have the measurements. But I would like to know which configuration is more suitable to move the entire structure, push from the base of the structure or a higher point like the shoulders? Where do you exert more force on the motor? Does it affect movement speed?

    Yes the design configuration makes a difference to the motion and potential load on the motors.

    What is 'more suitable' depends on the design goals, a shoulder mount seat shaker design has a lot of inherent design leverage so is better for weaker motors, a compact design takes less physical space but because of the more limited design leverage needs more motor torque to drive it.
