    Hello everyone , my name is George, I live in Northwest Indiana in a town named Hobart. I've been lurking here for some time now, but I offer nothing to share , knowledge nor past builds. I've been really interested in Motion platforms for a long time now.
    Anyways, a month ago I went out and purchased a VR simulator machine for renting out to birthday parties and such. I don't know much about the mechanics of it nor the software at this time. I am really interested in learning about the whole machine, software and the mechanics.
    I am also wanting to learn the trade of applying motion to some of my own films. They maybe boring to some but I want them for myself and kids. After I learn how to create motion files successfully, I will share them with all of those who would like them.
    I can post pictures of the machine and information about the software. I am looking for all the information I can get as well as share with all , the information that I have. It could be a learning experience for all.
    I also hope that I can contribute anything I can.
    I would also like to give a shout out to all on this site. You fellas work nicely together to make this place a plethora of information for those seeking it.

    You will need to explain what VR simulator machine you have purchased and what hardware protocol it uses to communicate, so members here can advise on what it would take to work with SimTools.

    Once that is sorted you will need an Entertainment license of SimTools to use it and companion apps for the likes of birthday party hire: https://simtools.us/license/

    The companion apps you will be interested in are Video Player: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/simtools-2-0-video-ride-player.9776/page-2#post-142498

    And Video Ride Creator: https://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/simtools-2-0-video-ride-creator.9897/
