My DIY 6DOF + FFB

https://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/smittys-rotary-servo-6dof-build-complete.16736/

hello all, new lemmy reddit transplant here. thought i'd show off my DIY VR rig. I mostly use it for MSFS but do some dirt rally2, AC, and nolimits2.

6 AC 750 Servos, 50:1 gearboxes

FlyPT Mover + OXRMC software

VPForce Rhino DIY kit on joystick & pedals

Quick <1min changeover to car racing

ducted fans for 'air conditioning' or wind simulation mostly in nolimits rollercoasters

enjoy!

That must be awesome with that much range of motion

it is!! :) technically the full range is a 200mm box in xyz and 30deg on all the rotations, but at those limits you cant do more than the 1 axis. so in flypt its limited to 100mm xyz and 15deg rotations so it never gets to an out-of limits position.
