    Right been all go at mine and had a small change of plan, i was supposed to be sorting the amps out this weekend, but i managed to upgrade my triple 50" screens to 1920x1080p and its full cost was £150 for all 3 screen lol so had to be done tbh.
    as for the car amps i want to run for theaura transducers i will have to wait another week now to buy the right psu to power them.
    also about start on the dash again.

    i fitted the new screens today tho and juyst waiting for the mini dp hdmi adaptors to arrive so i can run full res :)
    i will have some photos shortly as it is so far with it adjusted one its bricks ! lol

    what you can see in these pics just is the angle dexion on the floor.
    i have screwd that to the floor so it stays put and then thru the holes in the side i can move the seat back as much as i like now as i can just put a pin thru it in fact if you look you can see in 1st pic theres an orange screwdriver doing the job ! lol
    as you can see the steering now is completely apart so i could acomadate anyone now.
    these are quite old its changed since then as i have th8rs fitted to seat and hand brake and keyboard is on other side.
    slight alteration to the rift holder to take the cv1 now and it there so i can reach round to get from the seat, same with headphones aswell they are out the way but easy to get while keeping the system all together.
    next on the cards is the brake pedals and making the clutch with feel and then the brake mods with a caliper and master cylinder with a pressure sensor fitted in the fluid run somewhere.
    the clutch i was thinking of model car shox and setting the angle so it pushing the spring but then when a certain angle is reached the load goesas it turns to a push away not compressingit stays compressed but pressure is released abit to give the feel of clutch spring.
    have no idea if this would work but i really must get onto doing the things ive been trying to get done.
    i have gave up for now on the shakers as i am waiting for simtools v2.
    so i want the main factors sorting
    wheel
    gears
    pedals.
    handbrak to convince your brain
    seq shift.
    its going to be a hard slog to get all them how i want them to feel as its all about that if you ask me the feel if these items to convince your brain.

    hi back again with some slight mods i have done to my rig still messing about with it when i can.

    new adition are h shift th8rs mounted to seat.
    hand brake next to wheel to be moved and upgrade or made diffrent.
    moved the rack holding the rift and headphones just grab easy to get from seat.
    moved the keyboard across as alot better that side with th mouse.
    changed mouse mat and fitted the edging around it to stop mouse falling off ( bloody dirt rally issue ! lol) ok its my crashing i admit it . ;-)
    changed the top rose joint to ball rod ends and is easy mod but need to get counter sink screws but nothing else needed to cahnge to them on a frex system or profile system you ndont need to make brakets just use both l brackets and put them together and strong as your gunna get.
    i have also mounted the frame to back of the seat direct now and took some profile off saves abit of weight too.
    you can see the runner system abit better and my loverly screwdriver i keep needing ! lol ( pul it out move seat put it back :) n)
    also upgraded monitors to 3x 50" panasonic 1080p ( i have not switched the outer ones on since the rift tbh, vr rules now)

    i am looking at making a new full system soon but just messing with things now with this set up.
    due to vr i have prob gave up on the dash idea now but might do something still as with vr your dials no good to you ect... but buttons would be but if nothing else it might get fitted just coz it will look good like the other pics other have done with the dashs.

    hope you like so far.

    i am also working at sorting a brake system with real cars pedals and presure sensors with real calipers where you can just change the rubber in the caliper to change feel and will see if it works.
    also same with the race hand brakes.
    just need a sequencial shifter now as want to be able to have bothe ready not swop bits.

    my goals for my new rig will be osw or accuforce wheel.

    Hi all
    ihave not been about much recently but i will be updating this shortly with a pc build i have been doping and possibly a change to my rig too.
    its summer so not much happens with me on the gaming front normally.
    but this year abit different tho i have now set upanother system for room scale vr with the oculus rift and it will be used in the garden aswell as house but more space in the garden.
    i have upgraded i think 3 times my pc so have 2 decent systems i think running both vr systems.
    i will be updating in a few days with some pc build pics as it taking shape now.

    hope to post some more whenthe autum/winter starts edging in again.

    speak soon all

    If you plan VR use outdoors @f1iceman then be very wary of direct sunlight on any VR HMD lenses, it will destroy screens in minutes. IR sources like the sun can also be problematic for tracking.
