I estimate the rig would actually cost perhaps 3000 USD. Beware when going the DIY route for rigs; the aluminum is usually fine but cheap fittings can/will explode in a few months. The bolts tear through the corner brackets eventually with no warning. I am expecting the Exodus ones to explode eventually, but who knows. If they don't, amazing. The rig is about 440 USD anyway, it should be somewhat of an acceptable quality, but always be prepared for it. Also be prepared to buy an extra nut or two due to bad machining tolerances etc, I think the Exodus does come with plenty of spares. When I say professionally I mean simulation engineering. I make the individual models for cars and I'm always self-studying to be able to make the general tire, kinematic, drivetrain etc. implementation some day for a custom product. Well, this is a bit tongue in cheek because it's not my day job nor much of a real job either, more like a small bonus infrequently, but I consider myself an expert and I'm going to grow the business more as time goes on, hopefully start getting some really serious client work. Not much of a driver apart from driving for fun or testing. I've been doing the sim dev thing for almost a decade or so. Thanks Arch for the help, wasn´t aware of the fittings Issues one could have with the alu profiles. Can´t say I am happy to know that now but hey It Is what It Is. 440 USD seems quite reasonable and not as expensive as I though, so yes It looks like a good deal. Ok so you kind of make mods, or 3rd party content for AC? I have bought some from URD (United Racing Design) for rF2 for example and really like them (Scuderia Glickenhaus SCG 007 and Moyoda Hypercar). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard horror stories of 250usd rigs but 400+ is hopefully okay. Mods effectively. I'd just argue the quality is not comparable, public cars for AC are not intended to be used for actual setup engineering or driver training but my better ones are. Keyword is intended, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red2112 Posted May 13 Author Share Posted May 13 @Arch Thanks for the Info. Feel free to share you´re mods, personally I would like to try some out. If you do go pro product, then please share you´re store link, I wish you the best In that regard. Back to flight... Did pick this up for cheap (€12), and as anyone´s first semi-pro twin prop comercial airliner I think this Is a good choice, price Is a steal too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some resources in the link too. No store link as I only do private commission. Unlikely to release a commercial product any time soon, maybe in the future. Those things don't just come out of nowhere. Rig's built, still need to get an ebrake and figure out how to hell to mount it. Then the endless setting tweaking. Talking about flight, that'll be the next money sink to get back into. Luckily my standards are a bit lower so I can make do with a lot less. Been really itching to try BMS again, and DCS is finally starting to move in a more sensible direction in terms of dev priorities. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems MicroProse Is also going to bring back the original Falcon 4, so will see what they bring us with there "new" acquirement... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think some day I should bust out the NASA documents and start studying how to make aerospace physics. I don't think the MicroProse re-acquirement will do anything particularly to BMS, but it's interesting to see if they will actually try to make a modern sim contender. Somehow I have a feeling it'd be simcade though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might want to have a look at Reentry (sim), the dev Is heavy Into the old NASA manual (Apollo ect.)...
