Sure. It's just a button box I created for American truck simulator so that I can have things like a keyed ignition and various buttons to map for in game use. Utilizing a old Xbox 360 controller I was able to attach leads to the buttons pads and use the controller in place of a USB encoder. I run simhub with a custom dash from my phone and the lighting is for ambiance and function. My cab is kinda dark so there are times where having a light is very handy.

It's pretty fun finding creative ways to have a car in your house without having a car in your house :-).

Here's some pics of what I threw together. It's all hot glued and messy but it works. Spring loaded nut and bolt presses the micro switch after pulling the fulcrum lever.

With VR all my attempts at a cab recreation are wasted.

Looking good! I just picked up my first flightsim. I really feel like I've been missing out.

I dont think ill ever be into VR. Im not a fan of the headsets. I dont like not being able to see outside of the game. I feel the same way about gaming with headphones though. I dont like being isolated from the real world.

I've been thinking about building my own ffb wheel. I want to first focus on cab/dash recreation

I have found so far as long as I stick to vanilla things have been pretty good. I was able to throw in a few trailer and a couple trucks so far. The new UI has been really nice. I have been tinkering with the new graphics features which has been great.

I dont know how VA would work as the left and right monitor but I have a single curved VA as my primary and two IPS as my left and right and outside of color matching its not too shabby. I like it. I'm soon going to be replacing the IPS monitors so I have three identical screens. I have tested the viewing angles and I dont believe Ill have any issues.

I posted the video in case your are interested.

Man thats cool. I want to build my own wheel too. I think once I determine which motor to use Ill be golden just hard to decide. Im hoping to build a motion rig also in the future.

Honestly I have a Poang chair from ikea and I was thinking about using windshield wiper motors like this fella did. https://www.xsimulator.net/... I think it would be a great entry level start then Ill maybe move on to actuators and big boy stuff.

I really like it and I think I could hide all the guts underneath the chair when its all said and done.

The truck is the Kenworth K100E by MrOverFloater. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1815959194&searchtext=k100 The paint job is Oldies pack Sludig https://steamcommunity.com/...

I love that nothing is right about it.

Will do thank you.

This looks really cool. It has to be pretty slick for SCS when they land these gigs for the game.

I just recently started using steam on Ubuntu 22.04 and I love it. I've used windows for my whole life and Linux for the last couple decades. I tried here and there to game on Linux and would occasionally have some success. I just stuck with windows when I thought about gaming. I just had my windows gaming rig and my Linux workstation. Now I'm able to meld the two. I was able to move all my games from my windows system to Linux with zero problems. I haven't had a chance to play my entire library but what I really enjoy works and works well. I really like racing sims and the Dirt franchise. I've also played most recent fighting games and all work well for me.

I really like mine. Its comfortable for long races. I did brace the chair so at the moment mine doesnt have the rocking effect. Here are some pics for a couple months ago when I got my g29. https://imgur.com/gallery/9kkFi4T
