  • Are those actuators expensive?

  • nope, they're cheap

  • Well since a couple of weeks I had the crazy idea to make a flightsimulator myself. Anyway good to see some peeps are as crazy ;) working on my plan now but still struggeling with getting the data from the game to the motors. Still have no idea how to do that. I suppose I should check the sofwhere you said there. going to keep it simple and try to make a 2D first. I'm happy I found your posts here. It made me change the plans a bit. Great post!

  • Yes I've found the game to motor interface the tricky part also. Using either X-Sim or the BFF makes it easier for us mere mortals. Allow in your design for the positional feedback device, whether it be pot or optical encoder before you build. Good luck!!

  • oh dude your vids make it looks so easy, im so gonna do it lol, first i wasnt sure, but it will be fun, i have already designed some stuff on autodesk, thnkx x sharing your work

  • cool, I look forward to your posts!!!

see all
