    Hi all, I'm currently planning the build of a seat-belt tensioning system for my sim-rig as a starting step to learn Sim Tools before jumping into a full-blown motion simulator.

    I've been messing around with the demo and LFS and have managed to get a single hobby servo to move in response to the game. I have some higher power servos that I'll be playing with soon and connecting to the full rig.

    I'd love to play other titles and test out the system in VR would this sort of build qualify for a DIY licence alongside a build thread?
