Design Advice

I edited the video to show some "action" - that is code for me hitting the wall and spinning out. But, at least it shows the seat moving.

@noorbeast - what do you mean by full motion? Do you mean show the entire seat? I was trying to create as many of the different types of motion I could during the last drive. The only track I have available doesn't really have hills so I cannot test the surge (uphill/downhill) too much yet.

Believe me, I would welcome any and all suggestions! Thanks.

what game do you have?
theres heaps of games via "borrowed" sources.
Oh and pitch is to test the going up and down hills.
Surge is for acceleration , gear shift force(if its there) and braking

@bsft - I am using Live for Speed - the trial version that is used to setup SimTools. I looked over the track options in LFS and it looks like if I can unlock 1, it will have some nice hills.

I am still just using my basic laptop for playing. I am kind of hoping my wife sees how cool/fun it is and gives me permission for a computer upgrade. I have started looking for a crossover cable though. It is a pain to bounce back and forth between the playing screen and tuning centre screen. Do you run 1 or 2 computers? Can you reach everything computer related from your game seat or do you have to start the game/race and jump in? Because of USB cord lengths, I currently have to start the race and then hustle into playing position.

I am always getting the acceleration/braking and uphill/downhill official terms all tuned around. I am going to keep a cheat sheet with me so I stop looking like a total newbie!

up to you if you run one pc and alt tab to minimize game window, or run 2 pc, with game engine , one with game and game manager.
I have 2 sims here, one is pc and laptop, the other is only one pc.

theres profile writing info in this doc, maybe it can help.
Good luck with your wife agreeing to let you finance a larger PC.
