There's no practical way to keep the motion onset cues in sync with what you're seeing via the video camera on the model plane. g.

I would like to put a simpit into a set of gimbals so there is the capacity to yaw, roll and pitch. This, if my dream is to work, is coupled to a RC with camera that reflects image back to simpit and the two are tied together so I would fly the RC and the simpit would respond in concert with the flight. Has anyone developed such a system? A question. I would like to put a simpit into a set of gimbals so there is the capacity to yaw, roll and pitch.

The Devasys board was actually the master; the GPS board served to provide rotary and switch input. This was a side project someone asked me to develop for a sim Garmin GPS, but they never took it further than prototype. Unfortunately, I've long since lost the firmware code and the PC software code needed to run this. However the Devasys board is a nice little development board in its own right and you can probably obtain stock firmware from the devasys site with which to reprogram it.
