feeling abit lost :-(

Hi all

I am new to the motion sim system, but not new to sim multi screen have been into them for years well since the early 1990s when I built my first race rig ( a bucket seat and a playstation lol) then it evolved to triple 50" screens, triple ps3 n gt 5. all setup with race seat g25 linked into poss the only 3 screen real full arcade ridge racer machine in the uk.
the arcade 2 screens I changed for 50" palsma and then used the 5 speed box n clutch from the arcade machine as it was a full mech system which clonked n clicked great feeling, that was a fun basic system for me.
anyway back to my problem :-(

so now I move to pc and motion with my shed dedicated for it and feel quite lost I have a frex with 2 scn5 100mm actuators.
But ive been trying and trying to setup or at least get the actuators to calibrate but I am struggling where to check this ?
how do I know if the software has actually connected to my 2x scn5 ?

I am really down right now as its all sat there waiting for my brain to focus and find the solution to at least some kind of visual movement to say I'm in the right track, I swear its laughing at me.

I am only wanting to test that all kit is working as it should and nothing has failed.
is there a check to see in the software that the vscom has connected and recognised by the software ?

I am so happy for the future of all this but I guess being new to this kind of build is confusing.
I have no idea atm what I should be doing.
ive followed the video trainer but the 3d think failed which is common I read but then I'm stuck.
I got the rock and ride part working via game moving so I ashume this is all good to this point.
now how do I get the actualtors to work to this rock n ride I had working ??? I'm guessing its not talking to my vs com.

cheers all I really do hope you can help in my quest.


I have installed x-sim
