had a quick look and didnt see a thread relating to racing games on any platform and who races what si i thought i could start one
what platform do you race?
favourite game?
do you have a sim setup?
currently i am racing with a group of blokes and we race F1,s on iracing.we are all activly changing our setups all the time and its very adictive but also alot of fun
here are a couple of pics of sims i have made and the evoloution from crappy box to somethin a bit better.
would love to get some actualtors on at some stage to get thing realy moving but that will have to wait
FIRST ATTEMPT
SECOND ATTEMPT
SECOND ATTEMPT UPGRADED TO FRAME
LATEST ATTEMPT
like a boss! ( but music slightly homo erotic)
dont sweat the petty... pet the sweaty...
looks pretty good.
always thought about getting a steering wheel for driving games (well i have one but need an adaptor as it was for the PS2 =P)
oh and wouldnt that pic on the screen distract from the racing =P
So that's where the latest lotto win went...
The New Ride - The Class 2 Shuttle Craft (VE)
I'll be he comes to get you, some shopping trolley kind of thing, that gets you where your going nice and slow... Well off you go that's fine, the pleasure's all mine.
When I light the nitro on my HQ 454 Monroe!
That setup looks mint mate! Im still running V8 supercars on the old X-Box. Ten years and still goin strong, much love for Surfers, Adelaide, Bathurst an Sandown!
I always wanted to build a racing sim with proper VX Dash etc, would cost a bucket but the results would be decent.
Holy shit talk about keen,,, im not a gamer but that's cool
F1 car at Phillip Island ey?
Awesome setup!!!
love the little heater in the background of the 3rd shot, is that to simulate in car temps?
Outstanding work mate!
Whats the specs on the PC?

well i got a chance to get the screens a bit lower and off the saw horse at last :excited:
only problem i had was the screen falling over onto some steel and punching a nice hole in it >
not all bad news as i can get another but have to wait a few weeks

Just as well you mounted the speakers in front of the centre screen!
just as well There not mounted there.just sitting there untill I work out where I want them!
quick update on the sim progress
decided to re do the shape as i wasnt happy with the old one but much happyer with it now , also the wheel is now all wired up and full of buttons. aiming to fiberglass over the whole thing so i can get a prety smooth finish and a decent paint job in the red bull scheme

ever thought about getting the fanatec clubsport pedals over the plastic looking g27 ones? I wish these wheels and pedals werent so expensive lol, need to get something for when i play forza 4
a mate has thosefanatec clubsport pedals , havent tried them myself as yet but i will do. i have put a load cell on the brake pedal wich helps a bit , feels alot better than the spring.there is always an extra mod or two to get![]()
Thats an awesome simulator!! but you need to print this on your MDF and cut it to shape to make it even more realistic!!
