    It's maybe difficult to see at the pictures, but under the plexiglass the is a 80mm fan,blowing up on the Pololu cards and the motors.And the motors are really cold even after long time at work!

    @Ken50 , you probably got your answer, but beta testing has been closed for a long time. Its now in the hands of a select few. So probably you will not be made a beta tester, doesnt matter how much you pay.

    Stainless is a beautiful material and makes your sim look really clean :thumbs

    Now you can spend some time refining motion profiles and having some fun!

    Thanks everyone, I'm very flattered, getting so much praise from the pro's!A better video will be made,still have to mount the surround sound, and 2 Buttkickers, one under the seat/shell and the other under the pedals, Simvibe to make the details that the chair won't!

    Buy the way, I managed to keep, only just, the movement of the rig inside the travel of the ball joints, luckily! And as an old-timer earlier in this thread predicted, I had to do something about the play in the driveshaft CV joint, so I mounted some 8mm ball joints and a bar to lock it up sideways, works perfectly!

    You are right, it is very time-consuming (and fun) to fine tune different setups, upto now I have only been working with F1 2014.I would really appreciate, if someone out there could share some plugins and tuning center setups for F1 2014,just to see if I'm way of, and what can be better? Thank you in advance!

    If you want better motion in general I HIGHLY suggest you take a look into Assetto and the Mod content for Formula Cars, Codies isn't exactly something i would Consider for quality motion telemetry.

    I couldn't agree more: in dirt rally e.g. sometimes I just feel shaked but nothing related to what my eyes see and my brain feels and I find myself thinking about it. In Assetto Corsa I feel more immersion and I hardly think about a fake movement.
