Home-built VR Full Motion Simulator (6DOF/6 motors) - first flight test MSFS2024

Описание: Finally, the build is complete! The budget is a crazy sub-$1000. It's stunningly cheap because the cheapest off-the-shelf 6DOF rig with fewer features costs ~$8000 and they go up from there.

It works great with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 and many other flight and racing simulators - more videos are coming.

Update: the full build plans with an illustrated PDF guide, schematics, BOMs etc. are now available on my website - https://flightsimulation.romandesign....

What's included:
24-page Illustrated Build Guide PDF
Full Scematics / Wiring Diagram for the Electronic Control Box
Electronics Part List (BOM) with a budget calculation, prices, source links and photos
Bill of Materials for the lumber frame, including purchase size calculations and cutting lengths
Bill of Materials for the optional Control Boxes
3D Models (Blender) for the motion simulator frame and controls
3D Models (STL, CAD) of the Motor Arms for CNC or WaterJet cutting
3D-printing Models (STL files) for all the 3D-printable parts
Custom Mod of the SMC3 Firmware with smooth start, coordinated emergency shutdown and averaging filter
Arduino code for the Temp Monitor, Throttle Quadrant, Gear Switch Box, MCP/GPS/AP box and Pendular Yoke
Custom presets for FlyPT Mover motion software
Custom MobiFlight preset for the MCP / GPS / AP box
92 build photos, documenting the project, including detailed close-ups
Reference materials for recommended parts: manuals, wiring diagrams etc.

Anyone trying to build a motion simulator like this is almost guaranteed to make expensive mistakes when ordering and matching parts and motors etc. leading to losing a lot of time and considerable money. This rig works and works well, and it does so on an extremely low budget that almost everyone can afford. All that's required is basic power tools knowledge, some soldering and software tinkering.
