    Yes. I think surge is too strong too. I have to add roll, pitch and heave effects and do a lot of tests.
    Yes the harness will give more realism

    You can start easily as I said with Roll and Pitch. You'll feel the difference !

    No, no plans. I built it according to my size.
    And I tried to shorten compared to the model I choose.

    Belts are NIGHT and DAY difference, your upper torso tends to steal alot of the small stuff. Overall tho, Good stuff. Your moving now all thats left is the fine tuning (take your time, it takes a while)

    Are you using the standard Arduino code from @Wanegain?
    As standard it comes with 180degrees motor movement, but once you change it to 150degrees, it is more responsive. The details are here on my thread if you want to try it. (You can always go back to 180) Its very easy to change. Its half way down on the page.
    I do prefer it at 150.

    http://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/2-dof-simukit-build.6702/page-2

    But the rig looks much better already! Well done!

    I agree also that the 'gear change' looks a bit too strong.

    The Ferrari itself seems to have a little more "ummph" when changing gears as a whole compared to say the Mclaren mp4....Just tweek down the Surge in the Ferrari's Profile.

    In the game you can tweak each car individually o_O?

    Yes, I use the code from @Wanegain.
    I have already saw the lines to change for the min and max for the pots in the code.
    I'll try the change soon. I have much work on the rig.

    Yesterday, I installed windows 10 properly.
    I had a lot of crashes in Asseto corsa.
    I hope it will solve the problems.

    J'ai un peu avancé sur mon simulateur.
    J'ai fini le caisson qui contient l'alim, l’électronique et les moteurs, ainsi qu'un ventilateur pour refroidir les moteurs.
    J'ai fait une bôite de commande qui permet d'afficher la température des deux moteurs, de l'alimentation et de la Sabertooth.
    J'ai un interupteur qui donne le jus à l'alim (celui de gauche).
    3 interupteurs (2 actifs pour le moment) pour gérer la ventilation en fonction des températures (à droite) et un pour la gérer manuellement.
    J'ai un bouton de réglage de la luminosité et deux boutons poussoirs pour afficher quelques secondes la température de l'alim et la sabertooth, et régler la température de déclenchement de la ventilation en mode Auto.
    Voilà une petite vidéo.

    I have a little progress on my simulator.
    I finished the box that contains the power supply , electronics and engines, as well as a fan to cool the engines.
    I did a control box that displays the temperature of both motors , food and Sabertooth .
    I have a interuptor that gives the power (on the left ) .
    3 interuptors (2 actives for now ) to manage ventilation based on temperature (right) and to manage it manually.
    I have a brightness control knob and two buttons to display within seconds the temperature of the power supply and sabertooth , and adjust the fan triggering temperature in Auto mode.
    Here is a little video.

    Very nice work, stylish and practical.

    I and I suspect others would be interested in the schematics of how your control panel is wired, if you would care to share that.

    Yes I'll share. I need a little time to schematize.
