I so want to build one and this guy looks like he has come up with a good design. Now to convince my wife....

This is the last step to have a million dollar flight sim at home but for a hell of a lot less!

Wow nice setup! !! My missus would gently move me out of the home if I built that , with her foot up me bottom I left a comment inviting the guy to join us here and share his rig with us

There's a pretty good community of DIY motion platform builders over at http://www.xsimulator.net

Cant wait for FlyInsideP3D, im not an expert FlightSimmer but I do really enjoy them.

Welcome mate nice to meet you and what a great system you have there. Did you do a build blog ? Keep an eye open as they'll be a p3d alpha coming soon. A great improvement over DCOC.

Hey Chill, very nice build! I was reading the log this morning. Thanks for putting in so much detail and all the links people added for the sim calculator and such are really helpful. I really want to do this. The commentary in your video is very helpful too. Not boring at all!

How much floor space does that take? Just the approximate rectangle that would cover the base and movement, if you don't mind.

And also, did you have to run special power for that? I'm curious what the overall power requirements are.

Thanks in advance...

So jealous.... that looks amazing

Thanks glad to be here

Its about 1600mm squared. I use old Dell server PUS's all hooked up in parallel giving me roughly around 350 amps of power I think All the motors are 12v DC.

I hadn't thought about server computer PSUs! But...

If the 350 amps at 12 volts is correct, then that would be about 35 amps at 120 volts. I'd need another circuit like for an electric clothes dryer to be able to run that.

That could be the stopper for me. I have a long run to the breaker box from where my office is and no crawl space in the attic to be able to lay new cable.
