Probably more actually. However, you can also do race sims, flight sims, space sims, etc. I don't have a plane, but I do own a few race cars and it's far cheaper to do the sim, lol. I'm also highly unlikely to make it to space, so it's a good compromise

This particular one is designed and built by me. There are others commercially available, but this one is not. I'd head over to xsimulator.com and check out the resources there if you'd like to acquire a commercially available one or build one of your own.

Yeah, this hobby can be quite expensive, but similar designs can be constructed from largely 3D printed parts and can be much more wallet friendly. This is way overkill for most situations and not needed in a majority of applications. It's just that small percentage of times that it is, I'm glad I built it this way.

@@NischGTM I know the hobby can be expensive. I consider my Fanatec CSL DD and my 200 Euro Mclaren wheel as expensive. 😂 It does the job though. Anyway, nice setup man! I'm jealous of it.

Insane is an adequate name for it, lol.

I went to school for electronics engineering and am currently a self taught software developer. To be completely honest, I thought I had to know the theory of reverse kinematics in order to get into something like this, but once I DID learn the basis behind this, it's largely unnecessary with today's resources. This particular design of a Stewart platform is actually very forgiving with dimensions and only a few things need to be taken into consideration is what is called a singularity, which is the point where one or more of the joints can invert and collapse the platform. Thankfully with software available like FlyPT Mover, you can plug in a bunch of numbers and simulate the design to check for these. I ended up plugging in numbers to start and modified them until I got the design largely without errors and with movement capabilities I wanted, all within my space constraints. I then put those numbers into Fusion 360 (which I also had to learn myself, but not hard to do with all the resources on TH-cam), and came up with the design I liked, then ordered the raw materials. If I could do it, that means a large amount of others can do as well. :)

Some games don't work in VR, and for those that don't, I prefer triple screens over anything else.

I designed and built this myself. I'd check out XSimulator and the Thanos motion Discord for building advice. The setup in this video (not including the PC, peripherals, etc) was about $11k just for the motion platform.

Yes, I built this mostly in my garage and final assembly in my basement where it currently resides. It's getting a redesign as we speak though where I am rebuilding the upper platform. I'm doing away with the extruded aluminum and going to a fully welded aluminum frame with more of a reclined F1-style seating position with rotating pedal assembly for easier switchover from racing to flying and back.

@@NischGTM nice.

I think that is totally subjective. If you're a hardcore simmer, I don't think it ever gets boring. I personally am not a hardcore simmer, but rather an extreme hobbyist. This is not my only gaming rig. I have 3 separate rigs, one for motion, one for desktop and another for arcade, all identical builds. When a game has telemetry data and can be used on the motion rig, there is zero chance I'll play it on anything but this rig. It doesn't get boring, but rather an expected dynamic of gaming with certain games. It never loses the fun factor in my opinion and I'm currently building an updated version of this rig, which will now be my third that I've built over the last 4-5 years. There are a LOT of games that use it and I have over 1000 hours alone with Elite Dangerous in this rig as well as hundreds of hours in iRacing, AC, ACC, FS2020, etc. Now does it lose the "wow" factor? Sure. Anyone that comes over and experiences it for the first time is always amazed by it, but it's just a normal part of my gaming experience now. However, that does not take away from the fun whatsoever.

@@NischGTM thanks for the detailed reply! youve built them? thats amazing i keep it up :) i got into racing sims recently (T248) and its been a blast, if i was able to get one i would im all for immersion but i wasnt sure if it was one of those temporary "wow" things one thing ive wanted to do and this may be a lil too much but VR (prolly psvr2 since pc support was announced or valve index) + owo vest (more like shirt) + sim wheel + bHaptics Tactsuit X40 w/ the wrist and ankle addons, Infinadeck treadmill with a 3dof sim . forsure not practical and a bit too much might be dumb from your point of view but damn that the amount of immersion that would give. now only if there was a game that'd actually benefit from all that like a gta vr game. (sorry for long rant, seeing this reminded me of it)

Yeah, I would not recommend something like this for someone who lives in an apartment. Thankfully this is in my basement.

I had thought about that, but it wouldn't work well in this design, plus I just fly with HOTAS anyways. Because of that, I'm adopting a similar strategy for the racing shifter and flight stick on the right side, rotating 180 degrees out of the way depending on which I'm using. The left side where the flight throttle resides might also rotate, but just out of the way rather than being replaced with something (unless I can find something to use on that side for racing).

Nope, these have always been fine

@@NischGTM cool.. they look fantastic.

I have a few different ideas that I need to flesh out in Fusion 360 and hopefully will have something within the next week.

It's an awesome thing to have around, I must admit.

Incorrect. They are servo based linear actuators, no hydraulics whatsoever.

Thanos AASD15-A motion controller: www.thanos-motion.com/products/thanos-amc-controller-rgb-v1-4/

They are PT Actuators 2510"s. Unfortunately, they drastically increased the price of these shortly after I bought mine.

This is my original design and I mentuon it in my other videos, but this configuration was using a Thanos AMC1280USB controller hooked up to Clearpath servos using PWM signal for positioning. Thanos has since come out with a newer controller that interfaces with AASD15A servo drivers using conventional step and direction signals. The Thanos unit is under $400 and each servo/controller is about $200 per. The setup in this video was almost $1k per servo and much harder to configure. Here's a link to Thanos' latest controller. If you're truly interested, I suggest joining his Discord. There are lots of us in there with endless combinations and everyone is super helpful. www.thanos-motion.com/products/thanos-amc-controller-rgb-v1-4/

Hi mate, how much power consumsion?? It posible to run on mu power in backhome 220v 2.2KW??​@@NischGTM

That is because the Tesla records in 1 minute segments and the accident happened right as the video was switching over, which lost me about 1 second. You can see the trees in the upper left for reference. There was some lost footage, but it has not been edited except for stitching the two clips together.

There was damage. He also took out the poor lady next to him, totaling her car along with his own. The damage to my car was only the wheel and trim on the back bumper. Minor damage compared, but I wanted to make sure to stop and provide video the police due to his irresponsible actions.

That nook in my basement is about 10'x10' with an 8' ceiling. I designed it with the very low position to clear the ceiling . At full vertical extension, I can reach out and touch the ceiling from the seated position, but there's no chance of hitting anywhere. This was also because I designed it to work within that space with just a few inches to spare in every direction. There's no reason why you can't do the same in your space. I originally thought that you had rigid design constraints when learning about these motion platforms, but you really can design it backwards from your space to the final product.

Извините, я использую переводчик. У него шесть сервоприводов по 750 ватт, то есть при полной мощности не более 4500 ватт, а реально не более пары тысяч ватт под высокой нагрузкой.

@@NischGTM разрешите поинтересоваться если не секрет сколько вам обошешелся этот аппарат?

@@killerkery8156 Это обошлось мне примерно в 11 000 долларов США.
