    Ah its in French, bugger translation would be nice. oh well I keep working on my hack of a g25 into a custom fibreglass dash with working led gauges, something coming to simtools in the near future.
    Great info been searching for that, but existing links were down , thanks Mat.

    Google Chrome can auto translate pages for you. The syntax and grammar are still off but you can easily get the context of the topic.

    1000 euros is a pretty hefty price tag for DIY but I would sure like to take a stab at it sometime.

    Yes, it is very expensive indeed !
    But the comparison has to be made with Frex wheel or other professionnal sim wheel.
    (>2000$)
    And ithis design has been prove for years to be indestructible and faultless...

    On the contrary to commercial models often in maintenance...

    I wich that Santa's will see I have been a good boy !! ;-)

    Mat, I agree completely. The professionalism of that build is top notch, I was just commenting on a budgetary concern on my part ;)

    When you live on a farm you have to build your own! Course, my wife did ask why we needed a motion platform for our farm......

    I were just kidding, even when you are millionaire you should build your own motion simulator:)
    Nothing more satisfiying than making something with own hands, see and experience it after finishing, yeaa!

    But when you are a farmboy thats nothing new for you, i bet.

    Good arguments! I love my girl but ... i have to ask for everything that could transform our living room into a racing center lol
