Went to see "The Green Hell" with Sharon last night. It's a documentary about the Nurburgring. We both quite enjoyed it. Here's the trailer

The basic frame is made from a multifold ladder, lined with plywood and carpet tiles, + Logitech G27 Wheel with the pedals inverted, + car seat.Originally posted by RdstrBlk View Post
This pic is from when I first made it, have made some further mods to it since then.

pedals.jpg
That seat has been changed to a MX5 seat, which has speakers built into the headrest.
Have added 4 tactile transducers, (2 on front behind the pedals, 1 each side of seat) which are set to vibrate on certain sound frequencies - so you can feel ripple strips, for example. They are like subwoofers, but output vibration instead of sound. The wheel has force feedback as well, so the rig gives you lots of feedback!
The 3 screens are 1980 x 1200 resolution each, so when take into account the border of the screens, the PC is basically outputting 6000 x 1200
PC is a mix of parts, old and new, but fairly high spec - Sabertooth X99 motherboard, i7-5820k cpu, quad sli gpu (2 x asus rog mars 760x2), 32gb ram, Samsung NVMe M.2 SSD
Mainly use it to play Assetto Corsa, which it can run easily with most of the settings maxed out and the frame rate rarely dips below 120 fps.Last edited by reddragon; 05-19-2017, 12:54 AM.Comment
