6 Degree of Freedom Motion Cue Software
Beta motion software for 6 DOF hexapod or
"Stewart" type platform is available.
The beta 6 DOF motion software is available for
FS9/X, X-Plane v9.6+ and Condor Soaring.
The online
user guide provides information on installation and
operation. Please read the guide carefully before trying to use
the software.
The motion software generates position demand
cues for each of 6 actuators in a hexapod arrangement. The cues
are based on calculated Pitch, Surge, Roll, Sway, Heave and Yaw
movements to simulate flight forces and aircraft angle
following. The
geometry of your platform is defined in the motion driver
configuration file and the software uses this definition to
calculate the correct cues for each actuator. It can handle
direct acting linear actuators (eg hydraulic actuators) or crank
arm type actuators (eg motor/gearbox drives with a crank arm).
The cues are fully tuneable to suit your application.
The software can be downloaded using the links on
the Online User Guide Introduction page. It will run with full
functions for a limited flight time in demo mode. Please
download and experiment with the software if you are interested
in using it.
The cost of a personal non-commercial use
registration is UKŁ75. Please contact me for commercial
use licensing.
If you wish to order please email me and I will
send you a PayPal email invoice which will allow you to pay
securely via PayPal.
Please note - I do not provide hardware
for 6 DOF motion platform drives. To use this software you will
need to make your own servo drive hardware arrangements. The
data formats in which the software exports the actuator position
demands are described in the online user guide.
