Here you may see the last status of my project. I am having oscillation from the backlash of the reductors. It is so much that I am not even able test Fabi' s sw. I think I will need to replace the reductors with low backlash ones. I am also considering a top frame to fix reductors to eachother, in order to make the reductor installation more rigid. Please feel free to comment, advice if you have some similiar experience.

It has been a while. Here are some updates New sensor mounts for aeat sensors.

Looks amazing! I love the 3D printed sensor mount! When can we expect video of it in motion?

Still working on the foam cabin. It will be trimmed and send for carbon-epoxy cover. Due to the limited space, axis move ranges are limited on the video. This is a video of cross wind(15 kts +10 kts gust) landing on a 600m landing strip. Quite a challange!.. simulation really helps though. www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQe_3AaKZnw

What is your screen for the instruments? Separate touch computer or a simple screen linked with the main PC? Cheers

Sorry for late reply. I never had any notification on tapatalk, I don't know why? I use a sw app called airmanager. It is cheap and easy to use. The controlls via the touch screen is not that handy though. The screen is a touch screen monitor. My graphic card is able to drive upto 5 displays so it works fine. I made a stupid mistake and bought a large monitor, which takes larger than the original space in the aircraft. This makes it difficult to place yoke, pedals and the screens in the right place. I will replace it with analog instrument panel anyhow, but i recommend extra attention to size of the monitor and placement of it, if you consider this solution. Best

Which size do you recommend? 23, 27"?? I thought also about Two iPad pro set verticality so you can place the yoke in the middle of them. But it's a bit expensive solution Cheers

I use viewsonic 23.6 TD 2420-2. It is still very tall considering yoke position. Airmanager pc solution and ipad solution are not the same. Ipad solution seems to be more limited. I planned to use it for comm panel.

I planned to use it for comm panel. I see, I think it's also possible to use the IPads with Airmanager as additional monitors "screens streamers" to avoid limitations. The other solution would be an ultrawilde monitor but I didint find those with touch option. It's not an easy choice to find a good compromise. Keep posting your ideas. Cheers

I didn't ever try to "screen stream" with an ipad. I am using an ipad with "garmin pilot" application, which is developed as a touch screen application. Other than that the touch screen interface(not the touch screen) is not developed enough to simulate the real thing. It is difficult to adjust the altimeter or heading bug with it. So I will go for an analogue instrument panel. I will share my experience with it when it is integrated in may.

Here are some update photos of my trailer/container installation. I had a very strange experience. Actually it occurred twice 10-20 minutes in between. Everything was normally operating and i was checking movement ranges by using override sliders of bff. All of a sudden platform moved fast and up to the limits uncontrollably. I had to use emergency stop. I then reduced max speed and tried again and it was back to normal. Unfortunately at least two of the joints were damaged and moving very tightly. So i have to replace them. After 10-20 minutes it happened again and I recognised that all the crank arms were moving the same direction. Again emergency stop. Now i think maybe one of the common leads of the digital sensors is loose or cold-soldered so that it looses the connection, which makes sensor signal not available or 0. And that runs the motors wildly to same direction. I will replace the sensor connection adapter pcb tomorrow. Meanwhile Any thoughts?

Don't know if it's related to your issue but something similar has happen to me. What I concluded it was the lack of geometry limiters in bff. Addition of starting position offset without adjusting the general dof limits was responsible. Unproper use of limiters can lead into values drop from max to min. what puts the platform in the geometrically false position. If somebody wants to increase the motion range by pushing the limits of his platform I would strongly suggest to test it on a model first before moving to the full scale platform. Cheers

I replaced the sensor connection pcb and it was over. One loose connection cost me one new joint. Thank god, it could have been worse.
