DIY Wheel/Cockpit mod


Recommended Posts

While the cat is away, the mice will play :p

I wasn't happy about the stability of the clamp on the MS wheel, so I removed the base and bolted it to a bit of wood.

This bit of wood alone, with only a non slip mat under it is so much better the the original clamp, no slipping at all. But if you pull down on the wheel the board tilts up a bit. You shouldn't really be pulling down on the wheel that much, but I bolted it to the unit anyway.

Then I wasn't happy with the screen being so far away and so high up, something had to be done lol

Just need to get it all put away before "she" comes home lol :p

I'm gonna get a sheet of wood to put on top of the table, to make it a bit wider, I'll put corner bits on the under side so it cant slip about, might line it with carpet too, so it won't mark the table. Think I'll paint some kind of floral stencil on it and hang it on the wall (gotta keep her happy) then get a sheet of non slip rubber to put over it while I'm using it.

no, she's far to busy running her farm and restaurant on facebook :rolleyes:

She doesn't know I've got my heart set on one of these yet ether http://www.fanatec.de/webshop/new_eu/index...mp;session=true

She'll find out soon enough I guess lol

    • I think this will appeal to a lot of enthusiasts. If the thermals are similar to those of a single system in a compact case, many people running multiple systems may choose to combine them into one machine, provided the case footprint remains reasonable.
    • No, "a great deal" for 32GB of DDR5 is $50, not $350. I mean I see what you mean, that it's a decent price compared to what's currently available, but you really should put a disclaimer in this articles explaining that it's still multiple times more expensive than it used to be.
    • Linux 7.1 stable launch looms as Linus Torvalds releases the final release candidate by Paul Hill Linus Torvalds has just released what’s expected to be the final release candidate of Linux 7.1, rc7. The Linux founder said that this RC is not small, but smaller than recent releases, which is a good sign because he expects the stable version to drop next week if things continue on this trajectory. Linux kernels see a merge window for the first two weeks of their life, where developers add new features, then there are about seven or eight weeks of release candidates before the stable version. Typically, there are seven release candidates, but if more time is needed, then an eighth release candidate is released too. This week’s RC’s biggest area of fixes was for GPUs, with networking just behind. Torvalds said that the rest of the release was “pretty random and spread out” with some architecture fixes, driver fixes, filesystem improvements, and build fixes for more unusual configs. In terms of specific pieces of hardware receiving improvements in this update, we had more AMD Zen6 models supported and fixes for AMD SDMA 7.1 and GFX11. Hardware that got improvements includes Lenovo laptops, HONOR laptops, and MSI laptops. Here are the changelogs for those: ASoC: amd: acp: Add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 15ASH11 Input: atkbd - add DMI quirk for Lenovo Yoga Air 14 (83QK) Input: atkbd - skip deactivate for HONOR BCC-N's internal keyboard ASoC: amd: yc: Add MSI Raider A18 HX A9WJG to quirk table ASoC: amd: yc: Enable internal mic on MSI Bravo 17 C7VF When the stable Linux 7.1 is released, it will be up to distribution maintainers, such as Canonical and Red Hat, to release the update to their users via the update manager. Some versions of Linux will get it before others, and some will never get it at all. Fedora and Arch-based distros will be among the first to get it, though. If you don’t get it, the security fixes will be backported to your system’s kernel, so you won’t be at risk, but you won’t get newer hardware support, which is fine if your computer works now.
