Of course you could fit this on your current rig as there are plenty of mounting holes that you could use to adapt seats from other manufacturers.It’s a cinch to install and now I have fitted a couple of them, it takes less than 30 minutes to get you up and running. You can go all the way down to 0.2 and up to 2.5 on each of these sliders so the variation is incredibly vast and you can tune it to your own taste once you get a grip on it.The Park on pause option engages the two Electro-Magnetic Brakes whilst you are stationary to keep the seat perfectly still until you move the virtual vehicle.
I had tried a dbox solution out at Codies HQ in October 2013 during a communtiy feedback day for their GRID Autosport title prior to it's launch and actually suffered whiplash the next day. The perfect FOV is a compromise on most single screen set up, except if you have a huge screen. The rails also alow me to get the picture exactly lined up much easier without having to alter the optical zoom 1.0 - 1.2x). Once you input both of these values, the FOV calculator will tell you your ideal FOV setting for the specific sim racing game you are playing.Games which are included in this FOV calculator are;Using the correct field of view in a sim racing game will allow objects in the distance to approach your screen at the correct speed to replicate real life. This website is in no way associated with the Formula One group of companies. I could not find a solution for a mini 10 way din to replace the existing one and even if I had, it would mean altering every rim probably.I never got on that well with the static paddles of the T500RS and frankly they got in the way when the F1 rim was attached. This would give me a bit of redundancy if one of the pins broke having 2 pins/sockets per connection (USB has 4 connections, +5v, Gnd, Data + & Data -). 23" in length and fixed them together with biscuit joints and wood glue end to end to make the full arcs required.I used some of the spare pieces to strengthen the joints and wood glued them together along with some 1 1/4" wood screws to pull them into place. I was losing quite a lot of the picture at the bottom of each side in a triangle shape and this is now dramatically reduced.Back to the point of this update though..

It's opposite direction pressure to what is felt IRL.... but the G-Force is the same as in real life.
I chose a projector freindly colour scheme of mid grey to math the screen with a matt appearance and a light grey ceiling. I thought it was pretty good and definitely added to immersion... until a menu screen came up or the title screen with bassy music and it rattled the base of the seat more than it did in game. It's opposite direction pressure to what is felt IRL.... but the G-Force is the same as in real life. Perfect!The software is probably the most configurable piece of genius I have ever come across outside of the corporate world, where application costs thousands of pounds, but this is a few quid per device and free for some devices! You can use either an aspect ratio, or, if you do not know your screen's aspect ratio, you can input your screen's resolution. There is also an optional Buttkicker mounting post you can bolt on to the rear for added tactile feedback should you desire.The unit takes two cables at the front, one for the integrated power supply, direct from the mains, an IEC type that comes with a EU plug on the other end; the power draw is very low, less than a 1/4 of a KW and a USB 2.0 type ‘B’ socket that I have connected to a backwards compatible USB 3.0 from the motherboard, but the requirement is for a USB 2.0. It's so configurable but is also great out of the box for most titles. IRL, you feel pressure on your right hand side, as you are pushed in to the seat on that side.
By dwin20, August 28, 2018 in General Discussion. I've fitted a black out blind to the window, which stops most of the light, but not all for day use.

Use the tool below to correctly calculate the field of view setting for all sim racing games. I am now on version 4 of the screen and am a super dooper happy bunny.As a point of reference, the virtual steering wheel center for a 21:9 aspect ratio and vertical FOV of 74° is 25% up the screen from the bottom.I took the opportunity of rounding some corners too to make it more friendly in appearance.Aesthetically, it looked like a novice DIY project from the back, so I painted it a satin black.All I can say is WOW! The next obvious edition to my project was some form of motion. 16:9. The unit moves 10° from the centre point, forwards, backwards, left and right at a maximum speed of 20° per second, which may sound quite slow, but going from one extremity to the other on an axis at this speed is very violent and something I personally don’t really want to experience whilst racing as it would probably mean I was headlong at speed in to a wall!I have a very quiet man-cave and even the PC is watercooled in a different room, well the garage downstairs actually and having had the Geko previously, which was almost silent in use and air cooled, I was surprised that the fan(s) touted as ‘silent’ in the marketing bumf by Next Level are actually the noisiest sound in the room when at rest, it’s about 50% louder than the fan on the CSW v2 when it kicks in to cool the wheel base, but it really is not noticeable when racing with the volume up to a normal level on the 5.1 system.
I've let the paint harden now for a few days and it's a much tougher finish than the primer. They have a push button functioon on them as well, so I have 3 extra buttons now too. This seat makes the experience so much more immersive than I ever imagined.The very versatile G-Seat Manager software is great out of the box, but also allows what seems to be hundreds of fine tuning options per profile and a Sim/Game can have as many profiles as you can imagine.
