Daytona USA and Outrun 2006 Motion Simulator

(1/6) > >>

Boomslang:
I've been making a DIY Motion Simulator for a few months and have it mostly finished at the moment except for the traction loss and a few kinks. I use software called SimTools on the xsimulator.net site for tons of help.

SailorSat (Ariane) was kind enough to send me some important memory address information which I forwarded onto the motion plugin guru for simtools Value1 (Thomas)

He has made a plugin that I've been testing for a couple weeks and got it to a stage that's pretty good I feel so it's been released today! Big Thanks to both of them.

Plugin is here http://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/daytona-usa-plugin.7028/#post-81224

Forces available are Roll,Pitch,Sway,Yaw,Surge,Heave and Traction Loss if available

Each profile can be adjusted to how much movement they prefer etc and there are tons of options

And a small video of it in action on my sim

That's some hardcore looking stuff there man.  I built my podium to be able to handle a simple motion control rig if I ever decide to upgrade, but that's pretty high end there. 

Boomslang:
Thanks man. I am lucky that my father in law is a engineer so he did most the frame building with me helping where I could.

A simple motion simulator could be built for only a couple hundred dollars if you want and I would never look past simtools myself. Brilliant software with awesome community and it's all free

I am planning to modify my obutto rig I have here which shouldn't cost much and I was even considering doing my Daytona and Sega Rally twin cabs. I'm using worm gear motors myself but you could make it with simple wiper motors

But focus is on finishing this one for now. I actually have traction loss as well which is the rear sliding left and right but need a battery for that one still which Daytona supports now :)

Think this is the first emulated game they have done

MrThunderwing:
Wow, that's mighty impressive.

Le Chuck:
Wow, does it make gameplay more challenging? I love my Daytona and have a hard enough time placing without getting tossed around. Great stuff!
