    Re: Using Opencockpits DC Motors card for Motion

    Umm, just butting in here, you say a pivot is very exsensive, im not so sure, you can use an old UJ (Universal Joint) from a car prop shaft or tractor PTO setup, then weld a steel plate on one side to join to the sim base, and attach a shaft to fix to the base, i dont think it will be as pricey as you think

    Its your choice, there is no doubt in my mind which is the easiest route and I doubt that there is much cost difference overall.

    Just seen Devonpilots post which I fully agree with. For example, with three motors and no central pivot how are you going to attach the motors to the seat?
