Hello pilots, While waiting for the parts to arrive, I spent some time updating my FlyPT mover profile for DCS and customising a profile I found on the internet for car games, in this case Automobilista 2. For V2 I used the M4S controller, the developer is very available and nice, the product allows a…
Before ordering the aluminium profiles, I wanted to test the platform in racing mode (the aeroplane version poses fewer problems for me in terms of dimensions and positioning). After a few adjustments, my wife validated dimensions! Don’t hesitate to join us on Discord! The dimensions are validated! We can now order the profiles ! 🙂
I have found very nice and willing suppliers and the products look great! Outer tubes of linear actuators Ball Screws 650mm with SFA nuts The different parts in the cylinder body, aluminium and UHMW (plastic) The machined UMHW plastic parts (black) look really great, and it feels really solid. Can’t wait to have them in…
Even if I find the 180° foldback design ugly and more complicated, I’ll stick with it to save 25cm of actuator height. As usual, it’s a compromise 🙂 We have to make the good choices regarding the needs we have : size, noise, stroke, power … The design changes quite a bit from the V1…
Here are some renders in Fusion 360, for your eyes pleasure!
After many iterations to try to respect the above specifications, I will start with these dimensions: With 620mm stroke actuators (against 500 before). This gives in pure movements : The aim is to have great possibilities to mix several movements at the same time and not to be at the end of the actuators .
Hello friends pilots, as some of you may have seen, I recently sold the V1 simulator (tutorial here) to make a second one to keep me busy and scratch my brain 🙂 Specifications of the new motion simulator
