3doF motion cockpit update

[ArcadeGames]

Now totally close it up and you will have more of a feeling of being inside.

[ArcadeGames]

@ArcadeGames Nevermind, you did that at the end. Posted too early.

[sanchodayus]

How the f*** did you make that!!!!

[bas0704]

Kan je zo'n fresnel lens ook gebruiken voor gewone beeldschermen?

[Rolandvanroy]

@bas0704 : Ja hoor,Fresnel lenzen werken ook goed met losse LCD schermen. Zie ook m'n andere video's.

[bas0704]

@Rolandvanroy Ok, bedankt!



[d0nk3yb0i]

WOW 500 EUROS? thats a really good price for this

[convicetNL]

i'd like to watch porno with this, going up and down haha

[jeffhuys]

Kan je me misschien vertellen waar je de onderdelen vandaan hebt? En/of hoe je de actuators gemaakt hebt? Ik ben namelijk ook van plan iets dergelijks te maken. Bedankt!

[Rolandvanroy]

@jeffhuys : Het staat allemaal beschreven op m'n website simprojects.nl

[Str8representing]

Is that a magnifying screen in front of the monitors? Where can I get one?

[Rolandvanroy]

@Str8representing It's called a fresnel lens. you can buy them at 3Dlens.com

Wow OMG ARRODUGO !!!!!! You are incredible !!!! GOOD JOB !

[1moreshoot]

Wow OMG ARRODUGO !!!!!! You are incredible !!!! GOOG JOB !

[OriginalAtomicSheep]

Thumbs up dude

[pilot588]

How much did it cost build that???

[Rolandvanroy]

@pilot588 See earlier comments: around 500 euro's

[vegeta0200]

what happens if you try to do a looping?

[Rolandvanroy]

@vegeta0200

Not sure, never tried a looping in a 737.....

[vegeta0200]

@Rolandvanroy just kiddin'

nice thing man... it makes me kinda jealous :P

[weltensegLA]

I love how you shaped it to the roof :D

[edseaver]

Great job!

[scolen3]

I think I will be building one of these, this would be amazing. Just the platform, then I would modify it to my specific desires.

[clawhammer6420]

Hello! Tell me please, how can I get only touchdown, turbulence and ground shake signals to single actuator without tilts?

[Rolandvanroy]

Please read my website on motion platform and choose the intertfacing page. That explains how to get signals out of FS. instead of 3 actuators you can combine them also for 1 actuator

[bluenapalm123]

simply brilliant.

[juandenz2008]

This is amazing ! I wish I had the skills and knowledge to build such a thing !

[darkwizzard]

Unbelievable dude... just unbelievable. +100 respect. What happens if you crash btw? Reckon the motors would fling you off a bit? Or at least cause some damage to the equipment

[Rolandvanroy]

With realistic setting, FS9 will stop the simulator when crash is detected. More severe is hard turbulence, or when you land on dirt runways: roll and heave will be severe, I come loose from my chair, and at some point I have to switch-off the motor drive. The motor drive itself is very robust, due to V-belt system. The cockpit is more fragile, and the scenery display LCD's already show some wear: loose contacts etc. Normally I select my flights for moderate turbulence, and hard runways.

[darkwizzard]

Any plans now? Have you got any offers to use/implement your plan or to come work for anyone?

[Rolandvanroy]

New plans: Check out my new video "3DoF motion platform prototype"

There are a couple of folks building similar rigs according my plans, but nothing commercial: this is hobby, I'd like to keep it that way.

[necromncr]

I have a question: how much did it cost you all to build this and how much would a pilot's license cost you?

[Rolandvanroy]

Using second hand stuff, the platform is about 500 euro's. The rest is just some old LCD's, lots of stuff from second hand places. So total cost less than 1000 euro's. PPL lincence is way more expensive, and renting a small GA plane in Holland is about 200 euro's for one hour flight. So using a nice simulator setup is definitely cheaper than real flying.

[zweefvliegerNL]

zou je dit ook kunnen doen met een pneumatish systeem ???? IPV eledtro motoren

[Rolandvanroy]

Het is met pneumatiek moeilijk om accuraat snelheid en positie in te stellen. lucht is nu eenmaal veerkrachtig. Hydraulisch gaat wel maar is duur en complex. Electrisch is toch de goedkoopste manier om dit soort platforms accuraat beweegbaar te maken.

[zweefvliegerNL]

dank je wel nu kan ik weer verder voor de pesitie sensoren gebruik je daar gewoon een POT meter voor ?

[Rolandvanroy]

Ik gebruik 10-turn potmeter (10kOhm) voor de positie opnemers

[holdenhq75]

where can I get the plans for this?seems Like a good project

[Rolandvanroy]

The website address is at the end of the video. The website gives details about mechanical and electrical construction.

[yamahonkawazuki]

This is amazing. i want one lol. when finances permit, im going to make one

[Rolandvanroy]

Most stuff is 2nd hand, or from junkyards. I also got some items made in Taiwan. Total cost of platform system around 500 euro's I guess. My simprojects website gives most technical details.

[Anolymous]

That's brilliant. I have nothing but respect for people who make crazy projects like this

Very good! You have a lot of talent

[Rolandvanroy]

Thanks!

Actually my actuators behave exactly like linear actuators. I just choose a different way (V-belt) to make the same movement.

And yes, I'm an electronic engineer.

[maartenvg123]

Hallo Roland,

Leuk resultaat: gefeliciteerd! De reactietijd van de actuators is best wel snel en dat met zo'n eenvoudige constructie!

[Rolandvanroy]

Bedankt! Reactie tijd hangt samen met de software update snelheid 25x/sec en de servo snelheid. Die is allemaal hardware, dus vrij snel. De motor draait via V-snaar overbrenging,ook licht en snel. Totale reactie tijd bij een stap response is ongeveer 0.1 sec.
