what is the real question?
Nominal working frequency of an inverter is 50 Hz
this frequency can be mounted at 100Hz.
But Lea Work with 50Hz.
this frequency is "adjusted" by the Thanos electronic .

Hi Jeremy,

Yes please some grease ....
Looks great , it's a little bit difficult because we don't watch the car movements but it seems to work well.
I tried to watch the acceleration effect but dificult to make me a feeling.It seems ok for roll, vibration and brake.
It's a good news for my further 6dof!! :lol:

Thanks

Hi Jeremy,

Could you make the same try with your PC connected to your video projector into your cockpit.
In this way we could watch the car movements and in the same time your simulator moving ?

Merci d'avance!

Here's another video of my 6DOF but this time with Dirt 2 under x-sim and the 6DOF plugin by Thanos , i still need to tune up the profile a little bit but it's already good i think , finally i've put some oil so it's a lot better now ! no more noise !

For Dirt 2 my profile need some tweaking for the movements , the motors are running at normal speed (50HZ) and can go up to 400HZ with the inverters !

Here's a new video of my home built 6DOF platform with Nolimits Rollercoaster with Kodiak (round 4) track running under x-sim and Thanos 6DOF plugin .
As we can see , speed and reactivity are really good !
