You have to purchase it and the controller app from their site using 'coins' - i have a few (not many)  if you want them donating

Hello DD,
If you got to xsimulator.net they host simtools and its plugins, this allows you to create a full system using their host software/game plugins and various affordable hardware. The software is serial based so you only need a USB to serial lead(s) for the connection, these are cheap and use the normal FTDI chip.

The software allows full tuning of control loops without any programming  ;) A plugin was listed for GPB - i do not know if it has been maintained for b7(8) but it would probably be OK as a template to modify as i guess its probably just a simple text script.

N.B. never used it myself but it does seem to be a 'standard' for car/plane custom platform builds.

Only catch, you need to become a forum member to earn coins by posting or reading to purchase the software/plugins from their 'shop', if you post an interesting project concept and ask for donations people might donate coins to speed things up.

One nice project currently listed uses cheap hobby servos to build a fully working concept test model at very low cost.
