Anyone interested in helping build a flight simulator motion platform? It will interface with MS Flight Simulator X or X-plane Flight Simulator
Here is a YouTube video showing what I would like to do. The first half of the video is him removing his old simulator. The “new” one is what I would like to build.
Here a video of the prototype being assembled
UPDATE:
Here is the web site with rough instructions on building

He is sending me a google sketch file of the acutator assembly. I know I will need some help with the metal work

Has anyone been working on this motion flight simulator project posted in 2010? I am interested in building one but with a different mechanism, still for two axis simulation of airplanes and maybe a race car. Any suggestions on software to query X-plane and produce step and direction signals for motion control? Or just to query X-plane? I have written step and direction outputting programs. thanks, Pete, La Crosse, WI
