    Great to see your rig in action :thumbs

    Just check as it seems to me that you may have the sway axis reversed, as it should lean away from a corner.

    Thanks @noorbeast

    I'll double check. But I think it might be the roll that's making it seem like the seat is moving the wrong way. The Finland stages are super banked with deep ditches. I'll check a German tarmac stage. But I think its set up correctly.

    a quick VR run on Spa in the Audi R8 LMS.



    Already thinking about more things to add, lol

    I think next would be a wind generator.
    I have seen a couple projects kicking around. I have a spare arduino Uno, as well as a couple JRK's kicking around. Can the JRk's be used to control the blower?

    From what I have seen, for the Arduino I would need to pick up a Monstermoto Shield? I would rather not spend more money if i can utilize the JRKs.

    Any suggestions?

    Here are the settings for the various sims. The motion feels great. Brings so much immersion in VR! So happy with the result.
