A very firm grip on the reel

IN order to completely hijack this thread...I just shamelessly stole the picture you posted for use in some training class material for hardened steel pipe that I teach to customers.

http://www.virtusphere.com/  that versions already taken.LOL . Yes about The  flight sim program and the need to get inputs from game to activate certain motors at certain times.I have  however overcome challenge of getting a  signal via  slip ring assembly.

 This is my First IN........it feels sooo good

Yep. IN'ing brings a whole plethora of extremely INtense emotions with it.

 The first prototype will only generate a very low  G load , enough for a  thrill or a small  chub-on.1Max  but on a  large scale a warehouse may be required to get a much higher load factor.

Paul? Paul Hinds, is that you?

Awww christ, you know you're old when you know who Paul Hinds is.... 

I wasn't even around online combat flight sims when that went down and I know that name.  INteresting that this type of post is popping up again.

I'm looking for an electronics expert to join my team .I am building a flight Sim that will enable you to have a  full 360 deg  nonstop rotation on pitch roll and  yaw .What i need is  someone who would be interested in helping configure all the electronic variables  for this   project,including  joystick and peripherals  as well as dc motor and harnesses.Monitor cable wiring and  much more.Money may be  made at  some point but as for now,its purely a labor of  love.I could defiantly use advice through entire build to pull it all together.Please respond if you are interested i believe this  could be a great adventure that will eventually lead to riches

I used one of thous simulators before (class D sim), the thing was a size of a house and required a 2nd house filled with computers to power it.


good luck

1G max. So that's like...you're not moving at all then.

thats what I was was thinking

[MachFly]

1G max.

exactly, unless it can move at high speed your not getting more than 1G

So that's like...you're not moving at all then.

That can actually be done, for example when your braking have the sim bank forward so you would feel that forward motion and then it needs to move back very slow so the occupants would not be able to feel it.

I'm a new pilot, but I do believe that 1g is just the force of gravity.

Any less than 1g is pulling negative g's

+.9Gs?

Just by moving back and forward your chair is not same thing. You need a centrifuge with a decent radius.

Your right, just moving forward & back is not enough. However if you can make it bank you can use part of the gravity to simulate centrifugal forces (given that it's a fully enclosed sim and you can't see the real world).

  Even 2 gs with the visual stimulation and complete nonstop rotation on a  x,y,and z axis should  give you a  hell of  a ride ,on the amusement level.I almost guarantee someone will puke in the testing and ill bet  it  will be me.
 It may hit 2  gs  but  i wont know till its  tested with a g meter ,but i need to make a  workable prototype to start.Everything would  change somewhat when you do it  on a full sized cockpit level,but all same principals would apply.I'm would be  this  to sell to people  for personal or amusement companies to use on a charge per use  basis.But i just want to build one to try and run this  or other simulator games like racing,bobsledding,roller coaster, or even eye-max type  3D movies.I'm not counting any chickens till all the  ducks are in a  row!
  It will not  be  easy or  cheap for a  1   manned unit  i guess 30-50gs to build it.But i appreciate all the negative comments!
