Hello there, I have become part of this community as I have been given the order to produce a 2DOF motion simulator as part of the finals of my high school Engineering grade. For this, I will need the X-Sim software and perhaps some expertise from some of the guys here. We plan on using pneumatics. We are basing ourselves off of the LifeBeam FlightSim. At this time I have already figured out the configuration for Assetto Corsa within the X-Sim software packages. Next up is setting up Lockheed Martin Prepar3D, if possible. (It uses FSUIPC just like FSX does, I have got some minor experience with this, as I am an avid flight simmer) My team of students consists of 4 people, myself included. I am the project leader and plan on taking this task very seriously. My team and I have appointed Christmas time as our first deadline for the hardware. Then we have until June to tune the setup and tweak where needed. I own a G27 which we plan on using, a flight stick might be bought if this falls within our budget.
