    Hi everyone.

    I am very new to all these (I always wanted to build a sim to remember me about my 9 years karting career) and I am about to start sourcing parts to build one. SFX-100 motion platform 4 DOF but I would like to add Surge to it, which I believe (correct me please if I am wrong) will make it a 5DOF.

    I have been researching this forum and users builds + YouTube and I am inclined in using Flypt Mover as the software.

    The question is : is there such configuration in Flypt for 4 DOf + surge? all the builds I have seen here (so far) based on SFX style, have 4DOF +TL+Surge.

    Reason why i do not want TL is because i am on a tight budget at the moment and it will also bring too many other costly parts.

    Any help will be much appreciated, and very soon will start my own build thread. Many thanks everyone for this great community !

    thank you very much @Sim Freak for your reply. yes i am intending to use thanos controller.

    In regards to the cost of the TL, at the moment I am prioritising other aspects of the rig, once i have all the parts I might think about adding TL.
