Anyone here have a motion sim rig?
I was just wondering if it works well with monitors as opposed to VR?
How many degrees of freedom ?
I’ve been monitoring this thread using the V3.

Yes. I have a 6dof rotary sim rig home built. Can’t fly without it now. Use it for 2d and vr flights. Very authentic experience. VR probably a better experience as I only have 1 monitor. 3 monitors would be perfect, but difficult to mount on moving rig (perhaps my mk ii) Even home built not cheap for 6dof rotary. 6x motors and 6 x gearbox plus motion controllers was over $3,500 Aud. Then bought an off the shelf rig which I bolted onto the home built rig for $400 Aud. Can do much cheaper builds for 2 and 3 dof, but truly 6dof is hard to go backwards on.
That’s really awesome and cheap, considering the prices around…
Could you share your build?
I don’t really have plans to share. I have.YouTube profile DingoMotion which shows some early examples of the build and go to xsimulator and look at motion4sim profile which is where essentially I copied my build from
It was more to share pics/videos of it working. I already know about xsimulator. Thanks anyway.

Not the best quality video production but hopefully gives you an idea 
Haven’t done an msfs2020 video, but similar to using xp11
Yeah, thanks for sharing. Great setup. How much weight can you put there?
80st motors (750W with 3000rpm) and 15A drivers . 1:50 gear ratio. Currently carries circa 150kg. Did the calcs for max which I can’t find but it could carry much more but would want to bolster the pushrods which are basic retic pipe with something a bit thicker
