    Dear Sirs,

    Some questions a basic learner may ask when first downloading the x-sim programmer. We have to understand some people are not good at these type of things (Fahim looks in the mirror).

    If anybody would like to answer, please answer in one,two sentance short answer. Thank you.

    1. What does Force Profiler do?
    2. What does Force Sender do?
    3. What is the Video Plugin?
    4. What is Yoda2?

    When opening X-sim Profiler (Force Profiler) I see things:

    5. What is x- axis?
    6. What is y-axis?
    7. Why is there a z-axis when we only require two actuators?
    8. What is RX-axis?
    9. What is RY-axis?
    10. What is RZ-axis?

    There is a box called Maximum simulator movement per axis.

    11. Is this the limiter box everyone talks about? Why is it set to 70% and 60% on default and not 75% on both? (25% limit)


    12. I see you can download profiles. Where do you save them and load them?


    Kind Regards.

    I'm a beginner. According to the picture at the bottom of that page posted by bvillersjr, x-sim is encompassing the entire software and it uses the interface to control the actuators or motors. Is this right?

    What is used as the interface between the actuators and the low end PC?

    The interface that you are wondering about between the adapters and PC can be purchased. It is a USB to RS485 adapter. One the first page of my post (scroll to bottom and click on page 1) there is a parts list with hyperlinks to where you can buy the parts I used in my original build.

    Dear sirs,

    Okay so I have downloaded latest x-sim. I ran the program, no actuators found because I have not made the simulator yet.

    I just wanted to know where the 25% LIMIT box is? I could not see it in the force profiler program.

    Thanks.
