Someone, I think Andy, mentioned motion software. Here is one:

Thanks. I've seen that site. I'm not a big fan of paying to be part of a forum. I actually emailed them a question about the forum and they never responded. Looks like a money grab to me.

You do not have to buy motion software from them. There are other options for you. Personally I might be writing my own software and if you have any kind of programming experience that would be a good way to go. If not, other freeware control software is out there.

Look at this page on Jim's website. He discusses how he did it and gives links.

Thanks for the links Andy! I'll definitely check those out!
I'm actually a web developer, so I wrote my own software in C#. You can see how my platform works here: http://www.simulatormotion.com

Now I just have to build the sim.

I was actually referring to how they want you to pay 80 bucks to join thier "club" in order to have access to a forum and articles on building a sim. It's just not my thing. I believe in free information and sharing.

I will have a look at those links you posted to see how they calculated the angles of the platform though.

Thanks again!
