Hello guys,

Before to start, please be cool with my poor english writing. I 'm better programmer than writer :D

I'm 36 yo software engineer, leaving in France and working in Switzerland in a Software and Hardware company (don't know if i am allowed to specify the name).

I was looking since 10 years about motion simulators. My sport passion is motor bike, then naturally, I begun with a Motorbike simulator in 2009.

In september 2014 i got a motocross accident that blocks me at home instead of going to the race park. I decided to develop a car racing simulator and i started to read the threads on the web and on this site... :shock:

I started without xsim first. Doing my own memory mapping but it was too long to get satisfactions. Then I implements the codemaster tcp/ip protocol (for F1 and Colin). But I was not satisfied. Then i tried xsim...

Some weeks on the mecanic and some days on the electronic and some hours on the firmware and testing softwares. During the dev, i tried different solutions for powering and controlling the motor (sabertooth, dedicated HBridge, etc...).

Since yesterday i can present to you my project just finished.

Even if you don't know it : Thank you all for your different experiences that makes me avert some mistakes! :roll: I hope i will also help other people when i will do my own tutorial.

In conclusion, here it is the conception video and first race demo :

Note : I can help in the developpement of plugins or xsim in general in case of need.
My specialities are : Artificial intelligence (and robotics), industrial communication protocols, image processing, Human Machine Interface...
Please don't ask me to do some web design or database it makes me sick
:lol:

Ok thank you I will do it (full presentation and tutorial). But I wait to finish all (I need to finish my H GearBox) first.

I know there is a protocol to respect to do the tutorial I need time to read all.

See you
