Ledfoot's 2DOF simulator project

[ledfoot]

Yeah, that does suck. Hopefully, iRacing will redo this track and fix the issues or I'll just have to throw some more hardware at it .

Here are some pics of my current setup that I thought I would share. Next batch of upgrades will be a button box, Hydrolic brake (looking to try the Perfect Pedal for the G25) and another bass shaker (one currently undrer seat).

hi mike
nice look.is a better feeling now with more angel on the screens?

Yeah Mike, this setup ROCKS !!!

I see, that you use the same sound system now like I do - it's great !!! I have mounted the rear speaker higher than you, just the same height as my ears...

Regarding the brake: Take a look at the motoPC from Karsten - it's the best you can get at the moment. I also have the motoPC brake system, but I haven't installed it yet (still driving the JL hyperreal brake) - no time at all !
I already built a button box (have to take a few new pictures) with a Leo Bodnar Controller - it's great.

Keep on racing !

Thanks Niels. Yes, using a 60deg angle makes things much better.

Thanks Chris,

The Logitech system rocks

The MotoPC bake system is very nice but I'm not sure if it will work with my existing G25 pedals so I'm assuming I would have to upgrade to a differenct set of pedals first or make a custom design. I'll definately look into it though

I would appreciate it if you could send me some more information about you button box as I'm planning on building one this weekend.

Hi Mike,

I chose this controller from Leo: http://www.leobodnar.com/products/BU0836X/

I'm using the VPP pedals and changed the built-in Joywarrior controller with this net Leo BU0836X controller. Among other things it has also a higher resolution...
You can take simple buttons and connect it to the BU0836X. Once plugged in the PC recognizes it and you can set any ingame-function to the button(s).

It was NO PROBLEM at all, everything's working fine with my button box.

Amazing setup Mike!
I can recommend the leo boards for a button box, works like a charm

Thank you for sharing the pics

Cheers

Thanks splendiddd,

I will look into the leo boards as well.

Mike,
This is a very nice looking setup! I am sure the imersion experience you get is amazing.

To get your Eyefinity to work are you using an active displayport adaptor?

About the peddles, I am very happy with the "FANATEC" ClubSport Pedals, are made of aluminium good and sturdy and also use this contactless load cell sensors event the brake pedal a little force feedback and are fully adjustable. check em out.
