KevB v5 Elite Dangerous 6DOF Motion Simulator

[@elethiomelzakalwe4453]

Wow, this is an impressive amount of effort dedicated to Elite Dangerous.

[@savagegiraffe1]

Holy shit man, after watching 2 minutes of this video that was the easiest subscribe I think ive ever done! Love your work fella.

[@FlightSimMuseum]

What a great build, congratulations!

[@cmdrherbrand4030]

Amazing job CMDR!!!

[@mikek6049]

Massive respect for that. I wish i had half the skills you have to make that. Good work.

[@cmdrpausanias2332]

Amazing - I appreciate the time that must have taken.

[@defendersofthefaith8157]

Wow! Nice job!

[@delta4phoenix4]

Now that makes me envious. Hope to see you in the arena or in the black, CMDR! o7

[@alejandropenedo6676]

Incredible work there! Any plan on open-sourcing the designs and code or offering them on a paid basis? I understand that a project like this is not for the faint of heart, but really cool to build

[@lastsonofktn]

Nice work

[@fredblogs618]

you should sell kits or plans & build instructions to recoup some of your costs in designing and building this excellent rig.

[@tdg911]

Badass build! mad respect

[@RVRCloset]

Wow, that's an awesome build!!

[@DMAX_DIY]

R-VR! So we meet again! Yep this is incredible! My new winter project I guess.. Ordering stuff as we speak! DMAX motion sim

[@RVRCloset]

@@DMAX_DIY That will be awesome mate!! :) Wish I had more room in the closet.. ';D

[@DMAX_DIY]

@@RVRCloset Yeah my friend! I'm seriously considering building one.. I already ordered some CF for the upper frame.. I have no idea what I'm getting into but if BRANSON can rocket into friggin space.. I can make a 6DOF!

[@RVRCloset]

@@DMAX_DIY :D

[@crikycrocky]

Very nice work, probably not far off a commercial proposition...

[@NETBotic]

You've been busy ;) Love it!

[@cmdrblastard5774]

many thanks - I enjoyed this build. Just added a touchscreen to monitor all the drive temps.

[@DMAX_DIY]

I love the two joystick control. I recently built my 3DOF. but.. want to FLY like this.. so 6 DOF is up next.. (winter project). Epoxy sets up too quick when it's 90 degress in Mississippi! DMAX motion sim ch

[@tflahant]

I wish I had the know how you do mate !!! Love to make one for flight sims. Well done matey :)

[@smokje]

I lost you after the base hahaha

[@supershamer]

Nice job! Was wondering has any one used a motor driven wheel to spin the rig inside it's own axis? I was considering this as it would allow for essential limitless spin left or right.

[@UltraNyan]

cyberpunk is now and one should start living it

[@pkf4124]

Superb work, Come on FDev hand over the API, we need more third party applications for this game.

[@StarBellySneetch]

You might try some long dampers to smooth out the movement

[@cmdrblastard5774]

Hi - it doesn't need dampers (like my v3 one did). The motors on this v5 are actually pretty smooth due to their 'over' power - thanks tho

[@gamersplaygroundliquidm3th526]

How u getting the Telemetry from the games, so the chair knows what's going on?

[@MollyWi]

The funny thing is in space, the craft would have to suspend all g-force or suppress it to 1G (in simulation) so you didn't get flattened like a pancake due to acceleration or breaking from FSD / Supercruise... Go figure what the real G force would be.

[@cmdrblastard5774]

very true Stuart but as FTL motion is impossible, I use is real world forces so I have 'imaginary inertial dampers' in place. Being a maths teacher I could work out the real' Inertial Forces' (not G-force btw - in space there won't be any sizable 'g' unless near a massive object) but no reason too really as its a moot point.

[@MollyWi]

​@@cmdrblastard5774nice! Have you tried hooking it up to fs2020? I been playing a fair bit of that lately.

[@danhammond9967]

your work looks great but you look eerily reminiscent of Belters

[@grafire80]

Wow 8) ! If u have any things to test - send it to me to germany - i will test it ! :D :D . Good job

[@tokkelcs]

very nice have fun .

[@snowwolvesproductions]

I used a voice recognition program to create key presses, just an fyi...

[@snowwolvesproductions]

voicebot

[@iangraham6730]

@@snowwolvesproductions I use voiceattack, it's very good . . never heard of voicebot, I must check it out!

[@VanFS3K]

My goodness man, that seat you used in your rig, is that a $1000 stressless chair?

[@tomsimonis]

Hi Cmdr Blastard, Looks really cool! I would love to copy/paste your efforts. Did you create a how-to? Especially of the I/O of ED itself? Did Frontier get back to you?

[@PrinzMidas]

Hello, can you tell us the costs for all parts? And is it stabil/solid enough because I would fear that the thin parts (blade and sticks) could bend or break under the weight and moves. Regards? Chris PS: Great work!

[@radioproffi]

What a great setup! Was it worth all the efforts and budget I guess went over the price of off the shelf 6 DOF from DOF Reality?

[@warlockd]

Huh, I think I got something I can use these 20 year old 8 amp stepper motors on now:P

[@muntee33]

Please tell me youve tried a racing drone while sitting here

[@LukazChrom]

Wow.

[@ramenhausten]

mind sharing the know how would love to build this as part of me college project mate

[@kaywoodparsons7967]

Awesome but where the heck you put it. not a household item.

[@PALOSDEAJO]

How can i buy you one?

[@KateStutter]

Can you fit a seatbelt for when it’s my turn!? 😂 xx
