Hi,

I’ve calculated that with myself and my gear the total weight is going to be in the region of 145kg.

Question is: How long would i be able to run the simulator continuously without the actuators getting too hot and stop functioning?

Usually only on saturdays I play Elite Dangerous with my friends in the States and this game usually lasts between 12 to 14 hours. Will the sim be able to perform all that time?

Hi Sudaf,

Yeah, when we attended the expo it was in operation 10 hours a day. Max temperature we experienced was ~45degress Celsius.

The actuators is rated to 80.000 hours before possible failure. that means if you use it for 8 hours 365 days a year. They will last 24 years. We also added safety to be able to monitor heat. If the actuators is getting too hot, the simulator will slow down, or possible not move. 

But if you stay within the max weight and balance the simulator before use, that is not issue running it for 12 hours.
