    Your sim is in the cellar. Just dig out more dirt left and right of your sim and you have plenty of space :)

    Almost done, only one projector more to stick. The rails on the floor will be fixed to each other and to the wall (the rig must not get out of place). The stand will be painted, then the wiring and at least I am dying to test finally. Videos are expected the coming week.

    Final countdown. Painted and all assembled. The TL has been refurbished. Only a few things to do, adding the PC, securing with cable ties, final adjusting the projectors, tuning the simtools settings and then FINALLY driving! :):):grin:D:thumbs

    so, after some troubles with the derek speare pedals (the brake pedal signal is very jerky, derek and me are looking for a solution, in the meantime I am using the T500RS f*** pedals), a first video. Bad quality, bad angle, bad all but after a long day testing I wanted to show you some impressions from the surge and sway tables. This or probably next week I will do some better recordings and I will explain, what I did and how I did.

    Thank you for watching :)

    HOLY SH!T that frikkin brilliant I love it !!!!

    Well done @Pit , like I said thats one beast of a machine !!! Bit more refinement and it will be perfect . I like the surge/sway table looks like it does really well loads of movement.

    Just cant believe the size of it now from when you first built it.

    BTW I have solved the pedal issue, the cell was not centered and touched the edge of the bottom plate which resulted in a jerking signal. Only TYI between the pedals of DS and Thrustmaster are decades...while the wheel is very well done the TM pedals are like a toy of children. JM2C.
