Showroom Monster Sim - Carbon Loock 2DOF Upgrade 4DOF

​

Hello everyone

I took a bit of time to build this other sim (about 3 months in his spare time)
after I sold the other (only sruttura and electronics) I have left the G27 the
seat and seat belts ... for other things I bought back again.
My new sim is more or less built the foundations of the old one as
the lower structure cooling system electronic engines ....
I used wiper motors once again and I have to say
despite the extra weight ... they do their job egreggiamente and after 2 hours
of the race I noticed that the engines are pretty cool !! this means
that the cooling system works very well ... clearly I
also had to balance well the total weight !!!



This time, I cared too much aesthetics and tried to take care of even the smallest details.
Adhesives and lighting special effects and so on. wanted them to my son who is
amused to attack them everywhere



This time I installed the TV that moves with the upper structure
(Much better screen fixed) and the bracket adjustable in depth, height
I will modify the slope and then for a triple monitor.



I used square tubular
60x60x3
40x40x3
30x30x3
25x25x3
and 20x20x3

Compared to before I used 2mm tube that is more robust.



I added a 5.1 audio system and subwoofer and placed under
and some good vibrations to the structure as well as a fantastic sound

I used cooling fans 120x120 1200 rpm for electronics
and fans 80x80 2000 rpm for cooling the engines



If you have any questions please reply as soon as you can

I'll reserve a post for upgrades that I'm going to add as every time I create something

The next upgrade include:
Sequential shift lever (already done)
Handbrake
Triple screen 22 inches or 24
Monitor 7-inch
Substitution of the seat and seat belts

Future upgrades for next summer (if I have time and money to spend) include:

replacement of

Adding a slide under the seat replacing the original binary engine
to simulate the acceleration and braking

Adding the motor to simulate the loss of grip + underlying structure

Splendid!!

You're gifted!
Can we have a video?

Great job there, very detailed and looks real good.
Just drooling...

devo ripetermi ma hai fatto un lavoro spettacolare e la cura dei dettagli è strabiliante, uno dei 2dof migliori visti fino ad adesso...e poi se mi permettete un po' di spirito patriottico FORZA ITALIA


I have to repeat myself but you did a spectacular job and attention to detail is amazing, one of the best 2dof seen so far ... and then if you allow me a bit of patriotic spirit FORZA ITALIA

Grazie mille a tutti voi! mi fa piacere che il mio nuovo sim è di vostro gradimento. Appena finisco tutto, metto dei video del funzionamento del sim,cambio,freno a mano e altre cose


Thank you so much to all of you! I am glad that my new sim is to your liking. As soon as I finish everything, I put the video of the operation of the sim, gearbox ,handbrake and other things

is also the handbrake and done. More details photo in 2° post
For now it is digital then I can tell how to do it with analog potentiometer. If anyone knows how to say what I need to do analog. Thanks in advance

very creative and lovely touches. Cool looking sim

Thanks @noorbeast and @bosmeck

@noorbeast For details I meant the photos but also put a video so you can see better



Let me know if you can see it okay if I put no other details

I also placed an old monitor that I use as a dashboard 7 "touchscreen that I had ... I cut an aluminum box and plugged the monitor attached and the carbon film. I am using a software called SIM monitors unfortunately has a few skins and creating animated gifs with photoshop ..... but I do not know .... I will create them an accelerated course

Or if one of you knows how to create them in photoshop or use sim monitor and the skins and want to share anything better





Now I need is the video of the operation as soon as I post it

@noorbeast
It is a pleasure, if you need more info are here.
From your avatar, I assume you are using oculus rift? because I thought that instead of buying a triple monitor on my sim, I read that by ordering in the US would cost me around 380 euro DK2, it would also be an affordable price ... I wanted to ask a few questions before ordering: the resolution and good? and compatible with all games? me advice instead of triple flatscreen?

Thanks in advance

Very clear answer, thanks @noorbeast !
Surely the immersion in the game is the ultimate driving simulator, flight etc. with respect to the monitor that even having a better resolution does not give the same effect that gives the virtual reality. For 80% are decided by the DK2 but before ordering my searches and I better document also because as I know absolutely nothing oculus rift .. However, your response to me has already made it very clear ideas

@-kevin- , do you have a link for the "SIM monitors "software? I have a 7" tablet as well, I dont really use and it could be a good dash display

thanks, but I have to register for it
Cheers though

crap, they want legit steam details, will look into it later
