@Stig Bidstrup the shifter is like the Logitech shifter or the Thrustmaster TH8A, it do the H pattern and the sequential too

Updates to my rig
Simucube 2 Pro
Cube Controls Formula Pro
Heusinkveld Sprint pedals
Let's say christmas came early this year.

The HE Sprints and the CC Formula Pro are awesome, but I'm especially surprised by the difference between the CS2 and the CSW2.5. It's not just the amount of torque either. The SC2 offers much more detail in its feedback compared to the CSW2.5.

An ignitiON NA2-SA button box is on its way from VRS.

Really nice setup! If I may suggest, I would install damper on throttle pedal. you would be surprised how much better it feels. Enjoy!

Thanks, i've tried the damper on the throttle with and without the stronger spring but i find the pedal too hard but i did like the feel of the damper too bad it makes the pedal to hard for my taste.

Thank you! I can take more pictures of it. Anything specific you want to see?

The receipt?

On Reddit, I’m a rockstar baller with high end gear. On RD I feel like a simpleton playing with dirt.

We just moved into a new home. I asked my wife to use one room as an office since I work from home. So now I have a dedicated place for the sim rig.

Who knew? Expensive hobbies breed expensive hobbies. I might be slow as crap, but I’ll have an incredibly “well built” character in Cyberpunk 2077.

This is my humble setup. It's nothing fancy. It's out of the way and it gets the job done. Plus it offers some versatility when I play something other than one of the racing sims.

Believe it or not, the lawn chair is an upgrade over my normal chair. It doesn't move and has a mesh back so I stay nice and cool during long racing sessions.

@TedBrosby-
I will apreciate a more enlightening photo of your Sprints inverted mounting solution

Thanks you in advance

Always adding to my rig. I just added ground effects lighting under the frame edges. I am trying to learn what I want [need] in the way of Buttkickers, or Aura sound tactile effects and amps. Total motion 6DOF by 2022.

Slick! My crystal ball sees a color-coordinated PC in your future.

I've just bought a OMP Corsica (leather, 35 cm), together with another quick release by SimRacing Coach, not to replace my MOMO Montecarlo 320, but just to give a little variety to my driving experience. I will use it specially for older cars. It feels quite different from my MOMO. It's not only the extra size, but the almost round grip section and the completelly rounded contour. At first it felt a little weird, but now I'm enjoying it even more than my MOMO. Obvously it a rim more oriented for dirty driving. Oh, and since it's deep dish (95 mm), it sits exactly at the same distance than my other rim (with a spacer), so I don't need to adjust my seat when I swap them. I do, however, have to re-center the steering wheel in Simucube.

Is this tensioner documented elsewhere?

It's part of the SFX-100 family and controlled by SimFeedback. I use a modified version of Flag Ghost's design.

Looks awesome, cool job!
Please tell me the dimensions of the frame?
I am currently assembling my SFX-100 platform and cannot find what dimensions I need for the frame.

Sorry, I've replaced the entire base, so my measurements wouldn't match what you'd get from 4Play Racing.
