Hi, I need help finding a tank driving simulation game.
Let me explain, I have a 6-axis gaming station, something like this:
QS-S25_2.png

and I would like to use it for a tank driving simulation. I tried to search among the most famous titles, but it seems that none of them have the ability to send telemetry to play with a platform like the one I have.
Do you know of a game where you can drive a tank and that can send telemetry?

For a tank driving simulation that supports telemetry output for use with a 6-axis gaming station like the QS-S25, here are a few options:

  1. Steel Beasts Pro PE – A professional tank simulator known for its realistic tank driving experience and telemetry output compatibility. It is widely used in military training, and you might be able to configure it with your setup.
  2. DCS World (Digital Combat Simulator) – While primarily focused on aircraft, DCS also offers ground-based vehicles like tanks. With some customization and external software (like SimTools), it’s possible to extract telemetry data for motion rigs.
  3. War Thunder – Though primarily an online multiplayer game, War Thunder features realistic tank driving and battle scenarios. With third-party tools like SimTools or X-Sim, you might be able to extract telemetry for your motion platform.
  4. Arma 3 – A military simulator that includes tanks and other vehicles. Though not built-in, telemetry can be extracted using SimTools or other motion software for your gaming rig.
Make sure to explore these games and configure them with software like SimTools or X-Sim for sending telemetry data to your gaming platform. This should allow you to integrate the motion of your 6-axis setup for an immersive tank-driving experience.

For a tank driving simulation that works with a 6-axis gaming station, you need a game capable of sending telemetry data to your motion platform. Unfortunately, many mainstream tank simulators focus more on combat than realism in driving physics and telemetry compatibility. However, a few specialized simulators might meet your requirements:

1. **Steel Beasts Pro PE**: This military-grade tank simulator is known for its realistic vehicle physics and is often used by defense forces for training. It supports telemetry output, making it suitable for advanced setups like your 6-axis gaming station.

2. **DCS World (with Combined Arms module)**: While primarily an aircraft simulator, DCS offers a Combined Arms module where you can take control of ground vehicles, including tanks. DCS has robust telemetry support for motion platforms, and its detailed physics engine makes it a solid choice.

3. **War Thunder (Simulator Mode)**: While primarily known as an online multiplayer game, War Thunder has a realistic simulator mode for tanks. It can provide telemetry data, but you’ll need to configure third-party software to integrate with your setup.

4. **ARMA 3 (with mods)**: ARMA 3 is a military simulation game known for its flexibility and modding community. There are several tank-driving mods available, and with the right telemetry plug-ins, you can connect the game to your motion platform for an immersive experience.

It’s essential to verify the telemetry output capabilities of each game and ensure that your 6-axis platform software can interpret the data. Forums or developer communities often have plugins or scripts that make this possible, so reaching out to other users with similar setups can be helpful.
