glrnet Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 That virtual driving thing looks like the nuts, now if you could have sorted virtual eating and drinking for the last week that would have been very beneficial Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spursmaddave Posted January 2, 2012 Author Share Posted January 2, 2012 Was watching a utube of Kinect last night apparently with Forza 4 it tilts the screen with your head movements.... I have been waiting for a reason to get a Kinect, I thought they were just for kids.... and big kids Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Build this EDIT Oooops, repost, lol Emmmmm this looks stupid. Fun for a flying game or something however the movements are not really representative of a cars movement..... I like the ones that move a little bit, they are cool.

jumping350 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 that looks awesome spurs those fanatec wheels are the nuts arent they!! i got a G25 with customised leo bodnar buttons Im in the middle of doing mine now having some problems mounting my cobra to the base but we welded together a frame and sprayed it quite a good job if i do say so myself..except till i can sit in it its useless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted January 2, 2012 Author Share Posted January 2, 2012 Yeah I went for a Fanatec one as it is the best one for Xbox 360 and also works with PC & PS3. I looked at a G25 & G27 which are great for PS3 and PC but not great for Xbox, you can get an adapter but it is not 100% apparently. The Fanatec is a work of art, beautifully made from aluminium and it feels so weighty and strong almost like a real wheel and the force feedback is unbelievable, if you loose it on a corner at speed it is a real workout to hold onto it I haven't attached the chair to the wheel frame as this way I can easily move it around and use the chair for Fifa and other games too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumping350 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 yeah ive done the same best you can move the chair bit around mine can screw in and then unscrew it and use it as an everyday chair..im also taking my pedals apart and reverse mounting them onto a frame so will be in spot on position yeah i dont own ps3 or xbox so mine does me fine..have you got rfactor game?? if not should get it can race ya online sometime..im not sure what other games we can race online though il get some pics of mine up in a bit and your right my mates got your wheel not as good though might be version before yours..but i played formula 1 2011 on it and you do wonder how the real drivers bloody manage to keep it in a straight line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted January 2, 2012 Author Share Posted January 2, 2012 I have rfactor and some older games on PC but my gaming PC has decided to just die.... there is power to the motherboard but no life have to open it up and have a look.... good excuse for an upgrade anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jumping350 Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Thought i would give SMD a run for his money wasnt prepared to pay near on £300 for a basic frame so me and my engineer wizard of a mate got to work with some alloy tubing this is stage one really and the basic inlay of the simulator im trying to build as my mate put it "elegantly finished in black" only to discover that its not finished yet Excuse the wiring and mess have still got to adjust seat!! dismantle pedals and fit independantly and mount to frame make then weld a triple monitor holder to front make and weld keyboard/desktop holder make a weld rear speaker stands figure out where to put all the wires few steering wheel mods add all the rumble and vibration stuff to seat/frame Ive only managed a half hour spell as a test at the moment and managed to set my fastest ever lap at melbourne It really is a different experience when you got the right kit and have good surround sound setup if i must say so myself im quite impressed with it glad i done this rather than get a ps3 or xbox except the seats slightly too low the steering wheels slightly to high and the pedals are slightly too far away will get it sorted though my gf said i seem to have brought my zed modding catastrophies into other genres now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
