    Hello again!

    I began one year ago to think about building a 2DoF motion simulator with X-sim soft. In this time i have built my motion-ready cockpit, made with alluminium profiles and i have prepared a pc to control de sim. Today i´m conecting both pc´s (game pc and control pc) to start trying X-sim2.

    Now i´m going to begin with the mecanics and although i´ve been reading the forum hard i have a lot of questions.

    As I undertand i have 3 options:

    DC Motors with Thronic cards (cheapest??)
    Neumatics with Velleman k8055
    SCN5 actuators with the adapters

    Neumatic is not suitable for me. So two options left:

    ¿Where do they sell the more affordable scn5 actuators?. But I would rather prefer to build a DC Motors setup but i feel like if i was missing some info on how to get it right, mainly with the controller card build.

    Thank you all for this great forum and excuse me for my bad english.
