Hello everyone,sorry for my english, I made this f1 simulator, I wanted to know if you can do something to make it dynamic.

Awesome F1 cockpit

Total weight ?

Awesome cockpit!

If its not too heavy, the easiest way to add motion is to add a 6DOF platform under it, something similar to this:

But you could use AC gearmotors instead of these expensive linear actuators.


Imagine your F1 on top of a cheap 6DOF motion platform like this:

thanks for the replies, the cockpit has been adapted, is made ​​of iron and fiberglass, the weight is around 400kg! platform would be perfect, but it would take more than low.

Thanks for the pictures! very nice indeed!

Hello Manuel!
Welcome here!
Two questions to help you further:
- What is the weight of your F1 replica?
- What is your budget?
I'm sure everybody would be delighted to see pictures of your work in a dedicated topic!

What is your budget?

Idea! Since you went to the trouble to build the whole thing with tires and everything, maybe you should consider adding motion to the wheels (rotate forward under different speeds) and make them turn following the steering wheel!! X-sim can be used to get this simple wheel speed data...!
Spinning the wheels will also add some vibration to the cockpit and the steering wheel adding to the simulation immersion!

Something like this:

If you wondering what to use for the wheels to make them spin... try e-bike hub motors!
