6 DOF Motion Software

6 Degree of Freedom Motion Cue Software

 


ONLINE USER GUIDE & DOWNLOAD


6 DOF Motion Cockpit - Drive Software

BFF 6 DOF Motion Driver V3.0 beta

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.
