    Honestly @stevieh how good or poor a TV screen is for simulators often relates more to how hard core a gamer you consider yourself to be, rather than actual specs. ;)

    For many, including myself, TVs make fine gaming monitors, but if you have high end expectations then consider gaming monitors instead.

    Thanks for your reply noorbeast I'm not interested in specs just won't want to by x3 TV's to find they suffer some sort of screen lag once set up and paid for. I have a Asus PG278Q and its great no lag but only 27" and very expensive so would like to get x3 TV's for the price of 1 to 1 and a half of these monitors I could then sell this to some battlefield junkie!

    My quest go's on a guess...

    I have installed the 3 Samsung 5070 (Full HD), aluminum is a bit too expensive for the TV.

    Hi Waldemar
    Naja so richtig NEWS gibt es nicht. Motion verkaufe ich im Moment da ich das nicht mehr brauche. Das ganze war eine Herausforderung die mir geglückt ist, (wie zu sehen auf meinen YouTube Kanal :) )
    Motion hat Spaß gemacht dies zu bauen aber es ist jetzt an der Zeit was neues zu machen. Sollte ich die Platinen nicht an denn Mann bringen baue ich es wieder auf :) Aber wie schon gesagt die 12volt Technik ist einfach zu langsam um richtiges Fahrgefühl zu simulieren. Tja und SCN & Open Wheel sind für meine Verhältnisse einfach zu Teuer.

    Ich denke eine vernünftige ( Getriebe H- Schaltung ) wird es werden , also mein neues Projekt. Wie schon bei der VR gesagt soll sich die Schaltstange bewegen (Vibration ) :) ......werde mich die nächsten Monate mal genauer damit auseinander setzen. ( Stockcar H - Shift ) ! :)
    Kostet jetzt nicht all zu viel und wird bestimmt cool........... ich meine wer hat schon ein Getriebe in der Wohnung :)

    Wenn die ersten H - Shift Bilder online Sind ist sicher wieder mehr los.

    Grüße Tom

    In 2 months when I have time I'll take care of 4 H + 1 R gear box. Then I think is my simulator finished. For Motion, I must say that in the Motion Oval I do not like, may also be the 12 volt Motors.

    IRacing would add only a powerful V8 sound in the Simulation:cool:

    I fail to see how you could think that 12V DC motor's are slow. Properly set up JRK's are FAR from Slow.

    Hello, I know this is the video Road Racing. I think for the Oval cars is motion not a good idea, does not feel good.
    Oval Racing is Hardcore Racing :)

    See :)

    If you are purely after the best lap times (limited interest in realism/simulation), then motion could be a distraction (especially on a oval course) and likely not give you the best times.

    I guess we all have our personal preferences and to each their own.

    I am an avid NASCAR spectator but not a big fan of competitive simulated oval racing. But for me some heave, sway and surge would definitely increase the immersion.

    Hard core IRacing is all about winning, not immersion :) .

    Hence why it does not interest the likes of myself, but I get the appeal it has for others.

    I find iRacing very immersive, and I do think that motion does give me a slight benefit. Of course I have never did an oval course only road races. But then, I am not a hard core type anyway.
