The next update is my personal favorite: The modified High-End wheel by Jo Lueg !
It was big luck that I’ve got a used JL-G25, because the delivery time of this handmade wheel is nearly one year !!!

As soon as the new sim is built up, I’ll write a review of this awesome wheel. And guys – I’m really looking forward to test this great piece of High-Tech !

the next upcoming part resp. update is Leo’s SLI PRO !
I’ve got two rotary switches and the cable set and I will probably go for two rotary encoders and some buttons…

At first I wanted to mount it to the wheel, but now I’m planning to integrate it into the dashboard.

At the moment we are refurbishing the new room in the basement, but it’s time to show the upcoming parts and updates.

No. 1 is the revburner and an analogue rpm meter with shift light:

Hi guys, time has come – I had to disassemble the simulator for the planned move to the new house.

It was cruel – building up the sim took weeks, but unmounting everything was done in one day… Anyway – I tried to keep records of the single parts and of the unmounting process. Maybe it helps some of you who are looking for details and have questions how I’ve built this or that… hope, this makes things a little bit clearer !

Zur Abwechslung geht’s hier bei sim-parts.com mal nicht um virtuelle Rennstrecken und Simulatoren, sondern um richtige Rennatmosphäre, heisse Rennwagen und einen kompletten Tag am Ring.

Am 24.04.2010 wurden wir vom Rennteam rund um Daniel Schrey zur STT / Alpenpokal an den Salzburgring eingeladen. Der Tagesplan war prall gefüllt und so kamen wir um 9.00 Uhr morgens bei Nebel und ungemütlichen 8°C dort an. Uns fuhren schon diverse Porsche im Renntrimm und einige KTM XBows mit ohrenbetäubendem (aber geilem) Sound um die Ohren und wir wussten, das würde ein richtig genialer Tag werden.

We’ve found a new house with more space for us and the growing family *fg* (and for my photo studio !) – but this does also mean that my sim has to be completely disassembled !
On the one hand it’s so much to do, but on the other hand I’m able to do some modifications when I mount it again:

• both computers will be fixed directly to the sim (maybe w/o the cases)
• the sim will be moveable (with wheels)
• I think I will prepare the hardware for a triple-screen (or triple-projector) setup
• the subwoofer of the Z-5500 and the amplifier for the two buttkickers will be integrated in the sim
• maybe I will add a third axis for drift

As you can see – there are many ideas and plans, but I don’t know yet WHEN I will do this… I think I will start disassembling the sim in May. Stay tuned !

Mal wieder ein kleiner Hardwaretest – diesmal geht es um den SST Lightning H-Shifter von Sim Gear, der mir freundlicherweise vom Virtual Racing Center Rutesheim (www.rennsimulator-vermietung.de) zum Testen zur Verfügung gestellt wurde ! Danke, Bernd !

Als mir das Päckchen mit dem Shifter vom Paketboten überreicht wurde, wunderte ich mich schon über das Gewicht – da schien wirklich etwas ziemlich Stabiles drin zu sein, also genau das richtige Heavy-Duty-Stück für meinen Sim !
