Hi , no yaw in nolimits rollercoaster as there's only 3 DOF telemetry available , i've done like this : lateral force mapped to roll in x-sim , vertical force mapped to heave , longitudinal force mapped to pitch .

Hi , i've made 3 new videos testing nolimits rollercoaster with tuned up profiles (i've made 1 profile for each tracks because max and min values are never the same between 2 different tracks) .









look at 3:10 , it's really fast !!!

Take a profile with the smallest accelerations and enable the balanced auto maximum (gforce plugin) for the other tracks.

Hi Jeremy ,

I want make rollercoaster also !!

As I said often ,you made a really good job and congratulations to be the first with a real 6 dof plateform.

Hope another 6dof plateform will follow.For me that sure , I would like first a 4 dof but know that will be a 6 dof.
I will say to my wife that I will build it for my children to make Rollercoaster !! :lol:
I 've got a good reason now to build one ! :lol:

Very nice build! I just started setting up mine with the demo version of NoLimits. I can't find instructions here on how to configure the parameters. I did get it to work on my 2DOF wiper motors/Joyrider setup. I was able to fine tune by trial and error. My question is how to use all game inputs i.e, pitch, acceleration, yaw, etc? For now, I have only used the pitch orientation and roll orientation for the X and Y axis. How do I add other game inputs? Thanks for the help in advance.

Hey, I love your simulator!

Where did you buy your motors and inverters?

Truly, wonderful job.
