Build a Full Motion Simulator for under $1000! MSFS2024 Flight Simulator / Racing / Space Sims etc.

Описание: Having a Full Motion VR Cockpit for under $1000 is not a dream - it's a (virtual) reality, and it feels amazing!

The full build plans with an illustrated PDF guide, schematics, BOMs etc. are now available at https://flightsimulation.romandesign....

6 Degrees of Freedom (6DOF), 6 motors
Compatible with Microsoft Flight Simulator (MSFS2024 / MSFS2020) as well as with Xplane / DCS / VTOL VR
Great for Racing sims - tested with Dirt Rally 2.0 / BeamNG.drive / American Truck Simulator / Euro Track Simulator / Project Cars / Assetto Corsa
Great for Space Sims - tested with Elite Dangerous, Star Wars Squadrons
Compatible with many more simulation games that can provide telemetry
Build budget: sub-$1000. It's unprecedented for a 6DOF because the cheapest off-the-shelf 6DOF rig with fewer features costs ~$8000 and they go up from there.

BUILD PLANS - What's Included:
24-page Illustrated Build Guide PDF
Full Schematics / 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

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 tool skills, some soldering and software tinkering.
