Hey all, I found this forums while researching my simulator cockpit. I'm building a mock up of a 325a from the new game Star Citizen. I found "The-Viper" and wanted to mimic this style and enhance it a bit. For those that don't quite know what I'm talking about, it's full X and Y rotation using gearboxes and DC stepper motors. I want to go one step further and implement Z-axis rotation, should be rather simple. What I'm having difficulty with, is how to interface the motors with the simulator games. I am thinking there should be some type of screen tracking or a way to read my joystick inputs, but I haven't found anything yet. Since this is a simulator based site, I was hoping you folks could point me it the right direction.


Thank you!
