SimHawk's motion simulator

BTW, here is my profiler setup:

Hello folks! Here is a new video from my simulator. It shows different settings and surfaces. One of my valves is broken so one cylinder has only one speed on extension. The video got a bit too long, but I think you can handle that. :wink:


Video:


EDIT: for those who have seen my first video and do not see any difference in sim behaviour- I can assure you that in this last video the sim feels much more correct and the experience is far better. It is not fun having a sim that moves if it does not correspond well to the games output.

Looks very good

Although I think you can optimize it alot still. I'd reduce the pressure at first. We should find a way to calibrate your sim...

EDIT: I saw that the joystick-mix mode in the profiler is near 15%!
You should better reset the slider to minimum.

Btw, you could exchange the pic in the profiler with a pic of your sim

super cool
very good work

Hi folks, thanks for the responses, that makes it so much more inspiring to make this sim!

I tried at first with lower pressure , but although it feels better sometimes it was too booring for this video. So it is a little bit overdone just so you can see how it reacts. I usually turn down the overall simulator movement a bit for better realism. . As you can see from my profiler picture I use a lot of vertical G mixed in. That is because I like the shaky ride and to feel the bumps. You can see it when I jump, in the air it is calm, but starts to move when I hit the ground. Take a look at the first seconds as well and see how slow turns with smooth surface looks, nice and slow sim.

Can you tell me what x-sim does if it is not calibrated correcly? I cannot see what is wrong. Next thing I will do is to try to calibrate it correctly

Nice job!!! very impressive...

Great! Amazing video and sim! That´s a proof that the concept of pneumatic actuators´still not dead and got a lot of potential for race simulators.

Well done.

Good work Simhawk! Just seen the video... It moves quite well especially on the bumpy road! Congrats!

BTW, here is my profiler setup:

I can't understand why mixing x,y axis in alsmot all variables... maybe its because of the pneumatics matrix adapted for SimforceGt motion...?

In my setup I just assign unique x , y axis and mixing z axis into y axis...

At the beginning you have installed the pots for the position X / Y in another position under the seat .
But now 2 potentiometer are placed on each actuator is better?



I do not understand how you can get good indication X / Y
its good, i must install in the same position??
i, need help for this work , thanks

Some actuator have a magnet cores, it will place a sensor on the body we can use this system, can be?
