Cheap and easy FSX motion system
I've been pretty quite the last few months as "bloody old Erich" and myself have been working on a plan to cater for cheap and easy motion for FSX. ... Well we found it !!!
The concept is so simple and easy, it makes my original FS9 unit look super complicated.
Take a look at the specs of the KT5198 ... It can be feed with DAC, RC or serial . Little ripper we thought. Now to just have inputs from the position pots and a few more outputs/inputs for "other things" ,, well, what better board than the K8055, a card that a lot of people will already have.
Both of the above cards are cheap and can be purchased as a kit or already built up. (From different outlets)
We have tossed together a "plan" on...

I am doing my own software and its getting near the "beta testing" stage, but I put forward a challenge to the software guru's out there to also make something to suit. We tend to think this "hardware" line up is so stupidly simple and easy, it will be around for quite some time and be a basis of simmers getting into cheap motion ,, and to have different "takes" on the software to drive it would be an added bonus. !!!
Happy pondering ... Jim NZ (With a shove from "Bloody old Erich" :) :) )
