Congradulations!
Since most of the detail shown appears to relate to vehicle sims, how do they integrate flight?
What roll/pitch rate option did you go with?
Wood or metal enclosure?

HI
Simcraft have been excellent in assisting me. Sure the Videos all relate to auto sims, that was only because of the show and the market prospects therein.
What I am getting is gthe 3 DOF version with 8" of motion (50 degrees I think?)
I am getting a used frame from them which is being shipped in 3 shipments, the last one was shipped out today.
They have their own software suite with code for all the flight sims and all the racing ones too. The purchase includes a license to use all of these profiles at no cost.
I currently have a (much modified) Joyrider based sim which I will be dismantling and transferrring some of the parts to the simcraft one when it arrives. The sim will then be up for sale.
