    Nice Job Chris, I have been reading this site for months and just had to comment on you're rig, Love it. Have you taken any more videos?

    Do you happen to have a 80/20 part list of the peices you used? It's very hard to source in australia without having to order the parts needed, dont know where to start.

    Cheers,
    Kurt

    Kein Problem, willkommen hier bei den Verrückten :hi: !

    hmm, ich könnte ja jetzt sagen ein Gentleman schweigt und geniesst... ;)
    Eine Aussage über den Preis zu treffen ist schwierig. Ich habe das ja nicht auf einmal gekauft, sondern Schritt für Schritt entwickelt und immer wieder erweitert. Mittlerweile hat sich ja schon wieder einiges getan - habe nur noch keine Bilder. Und für den einen oder anderen habe ich auch schon ein Rig gebaut - allerdings waren das bislang keine mit Motion, sondern nur feste Sims - und dadurch kommt man eben an manche Teile auch mal günstiger ran oder kriegt andere Konditionen...

    Driftiger Grund - cooles Wortspiel, genau mein Rallygeschmack :clap: ! Was genau meinst Du ? Der Aufbau, also Joyrider oder SimforceGT ? Also ich wollte einen realistischen Simulator für RENN- und RALLYsimulationen bauen - und da kam für mich nichts anderes in Frage. Da gibt's im Forum hier irgendwo aber einen recht ausführlichen Thread zum Thema, wenn ich nicht irre... Und was das Dach angeht - hey, setz Dich mal rein und erlebe das Mittendringefühl. Macht echt was aus, alleine vom Sound her. Mittlerweile habe ich auch eine Fahrertür - das ist echt klasse: Tür zu und losfahren :rofl: !

    Ersatz in Form von was ? In der Tat bin ich schon länger auf der Suche nach einem neuen Sitz mit seitlichem Kopfschutz (so wie z.B. der Revenge oder Revolution von Corbeau) - bin da aber noch nicht zu einer Entscheidung gekommen...

    Bis bald,
    Chris

    Hi Kurt,

    thanks for the commendation !
    I will take some more videos with the latest version of my sim, but until today I haven't had the time to do that... but stay tuned ;) !

    Unfortunately I don't have any plan or partslist, because I've built it totally from the scratch. It's grown more and more and I haven't set up a storyboard. And also unfortunately I'm not sure, where you could order those parts in Australia... you should open a new thread and ask the members here in the board - I think there will be someone who can help you !

    Good luck :hi: !

    Bye, Chris

    Look forward to seeing the video :)

    Thanks for the feedback I looked into t-slot parts last night, the plan is you can design it in autocad with an add-on from 80/20 that can generate an order from the parts selected.

    I like the idea of having no welded parts so it can be changed at any one time. I look forward to starting and contributing back to the forum.

    That is incredible. Can't wait for the video. All you need now is windows on either side to enclose you even more. :)

    Hallo Chris,
    das freut mich, Ihr seit genau auf meiner Wellenlänge hier.

    Das dachte ich mir schon. Ich bin gespannt auf die neuen Bilder!
    Gibt es die Möglichkeit dass wir uns mal unterhalten?

    Joyrider Simforce GT??? Ich glaub ich muß mich noch ein bischen durchs Forum lesen.
    Meinte eigentlich das System mit den zwei Zylindern hinterm Sitz und nicht z.B. mit Wischermotoren usw.?

    Mit einem Sitz kann ich Dir bestimmt behilflich sein.
    Arbeite in der Firma von der Dein Sitz kommt.

    Gruß
    VH

    Hallo VH,

    das mit dem Sitz klingt gut - habt Ihr welche mit seitlichem Kopfschutz im Angebot ?

    Das was Du vorhast, ist ein Simulator mit SCN5 - das sind die Hochleistungsantriebe mit 100mm oder 150mm Hub. Die kannst Du z.B. bei Bernard (bvillersjr) bestellen... aber Dich hier richtig einzulesen und ein paar Threads durchzuforsten ist sicherlich nicht schlecht, da findest Du tausend Antworten auf tausend Fragen :cheers: !

    Meld Dich einfach, wennst was brauchst... :hi:

    Ciao,
    Chris

    Hi Tobi,

    ich denke, EIN Posting bzw. Thread dazu reicht ;D - hier helfen Dir alle gern !
    Niels hat Dir ja schon einen guten Tipp gegeben - schau wg. der SCN5 (ich habe die mit 100mmHub) mal bei Bernard, da geht es recht fix und Du hast guten Support. Bernard ist hier im Forum (bvillersjr). Dort bekommst Du die SCN5 komplett mit Kabelsatz und Montagewinkeln.

    An Teilen brauchst Du 2x Signalconverter (RS485 auf USB), 1x Netzteil, einen Killswitch, Dioden, ein Pivot (Schwingmetall bzw. Gummipuffer oder ein Kardangelenk) und ein paar Gelenkköpfe. Dann noch etwas Dämpfermaterial, um die Antriebsarme vom Rig zu entkoppeln. All das findest Du perfekt bebildert, bestens beschrieben und sogar mit Links und Bezugsquellen versehen hier im Forum (u.a. im SCN5-Hardware-Thread und in den DIY-Sim-Threads) ! Falls Dir Details fehlen oder Du mit den (oft) englischen Beschreibungen Probleme haben solltest, dann meld Dich.

    Am besten wir machen ab jetzt in Deinem Thread weiter und Du lässt uns Schritt für Schritt an Deinem Projekt teilhaben, dann wird das schon :thbup: !

    Ciao,
    Chris

    Beside some other modifications on my sim, I just wanted to change my joint heads with some new angle joint heads. They seem to be very solid, but as soon as I put some more weight resp. force on these angle joint heads (when built in), the head clips off (see att. pic). Is this due to wrong angle in the built-in position or due to low-quality material, or which other hints do you have ? I have seen a few from you guys who also use those angle joint heads...

    Thanks in advance ;D !

    Okay, got it working - I changed the angles a little bit to the inner side and after a 2-hours-racing-test no joint head clipped off.

    The new dampening bar on the bottom of the back-side is also doing a great job.

    I have a new video of my current sim. Sorry for the bad sound - the internal mic isn't that good, I have to use an external one the next time. The squeezing of the SCN5 isn't that noisy as it seems in the video !

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EOwCHjoZdQY

    I will take my other DV-cam for the next footage, it has more wide angle (but less quality *fg*).

    Hope, you enjoy it ;D !

    Awesome setup Chris. I like the mount you made for the profiler monitor :).

    Thanks, Mike - that's my car door :D !!! It's absolutely handy to have the screen and the illuminated keyboard next to you... and, by the way, every car needs a door :rofl: (the window nets are still missing - stay tuned *fg*)

    How did you end up implementing the dampening bar. Do you have a picture of you setup? I had a failure of my dampeners last week but it may have been due to the fact that I was using a mixture of a 120lb and 70lb dampener on each side. I have switched to 2, 120lb dampeners on each side and they are holding up good so far.

    Hi Mike,

    I will take a few pictures the next days and post it here !
    I don't know which specs my dampers have, but they are not VERY hard/stiff...

    Here's the second video.

    Better sound now, but unfortunately (due to my old cam) less picture quality :? !

    But I'm working on it... ;D

    Hi Chris,

    You've got a real nice configuration there!
    The driver's door rocks :thbup:
    Listen, I noticed you got a 7 tft display
    for revs, speed etc. Can you propose any site to
    buy one for my rig?
    I would really appreciate it.

    Regards,

    John

    Hi John,

    I've got mine from ebay approx. one year ago.
    I just searched on ebay and found this one: http://cgi.ebay.de/7-VGA-TFT-LCD-To...Monitore_Flachbildschirme?hash=item3efc892d3d - it seems to be exactly the same model, but I've got mine from a German dealer/store, the one here's from Hong Kong.

    All of the Touchscreens offered here at the moment have a native resolution of 800x480, but the one I have (and the one mentioned above), has 800x600 !

    Hope this helps... :cheers:
