    New plan,
    enough were from the pneumatics, cannot move gently and fast enough. For a airplane, sure this is the perfect solution. For car, unfortunately not the luckiest one. I spent many super hour in him, but for comfortable usage, i have to rebuild it.

    Thanx for Thanos! :D

    Re: Pointer's simulator project...

    i have a basic question :D
    I need this stabilizator only, to prevent the seat left-right rotation? stab.JPG
    Or it has, an other function?

    Because what pivot i use, can't rotate :)

    Re: Pointer's simulator project...

    Excellent! The second video looks much more fluid and accurate.

    What type of gauge can you control with that RevBurner? In the documentation I only see 1 signal wire. Do you know what type of signal it is?

    Re: Pointer's simulator project...

    Any gauge what you found in car tuning shops. (not diesel)
    In a real car, the ignition coil give a saw-signal (i hope my technical translate was understandable). Depends on the number of cylinders. You can switch beetween 4-6-8 cylinder, booth place (software and the RPM gauge).
    And in the software give you a chance to finetune it.

    Watch out, this true only for the tuning components only. The factory meters many times works another way.

    És kapd be, hogy ezt nem bírod MSN-en megkérdezni :p

    Re: Pointer's simulator project...

    Hi man,

    excellent work :clap: :thbup: !!! Looks very good.
    Please let me know which size the screens have. I'm planning to set up three screens as well and I want to take 3x 32 FullHD LG. At the moment I'm not sure wether the frames will disturb the feeling of immersion... what do you think about it ?

    I've also got the rpm meter revburner - but at first I will use my SLI Pro. As far as I know, both devices WON'T work together, hmm ?

    Re: Pointer's simulator project...

    Thank You! :D

    - This is three 32 FullHD TV, running at Ati Eyefinity (5870). Working good, with 5760*1080 resolution.
    - I was afraid of the frames to, but at the first moment, as if they would not have been there.
    - SLI and REVburner work together, i never saw an any kind of compatible problem. (but i never succeed to start SLI under the LFS, i tryed everything... in EKsim forum a jerk barked me down...)

    Re: Pointer's simulator project...

    Ohh, i almost forget.
    When you choose a TV, pay attention to the input-lag. Not every TV fast enough as a monitor.
    In our days, some TV-s have special 'Gaming' mode, to reduce this input-lag. Google first it, about your chosen TV!

    Use a CRT monitor and the LCD in clone mode, run the test util, and shoot a photo :D
    Use a preferred resolution and refresh rate!! Different screen-modes have a different results.

    Well done! :clap:

    Imho a little bit more action would be better though...

    Btw, is the simulator yours, or from TronicGr? The video title is confusing.

    Like Interview I will be glad if you shared some profiles, because there are not too many profiles to download for viper-powered-seat-movers. (ofcourse it is a good lesson making them by yourself, but it helps to see what others do). Do you play any simbin-games, or have profiles for it?

    btw: Good job on your sim!!! :thbup:

    Regards Fred
