Thank you very much Derek i really appreciate it thanks , may i suggest you putting it up on your site good promotional tool for people like me who like to have a bash at Diy 👍 they get to see your products too .

hats off thanks

I don't put DIY efforts such as this on my site to minimize any confusion. These side projects are ones for the forums. If someone has enough DIY Spirit, they'll find what they want.

I just received my tilton style pedals from DSD. They look good. I'm hoping to have some time to get some seat time in this weekend so I can try them out then.

I've also been eyeing getting a different wheel for my G27, and the adapters and wheel plates on Derek's site are tempting me to take the plunge. Anybody have steering wheel recommendations? I'd be looking to get one just slightly larger than the stock diameter wheel, but would like one covered with alcantara or suede, with a thicker rim.

This site has what I hope is good prices http://www.rallydesign.co.uk/index.php?cPath=82&osCsid=kf1qmno19qe5tj5915ub4dh0n5

I bought a rmd malaga 320 mm. Think you should save up for a T500RS first though they are getting really cheap.

Hey Norforce , we were in the same split last Sunday night , I recognise your car.

Inspired by Lopsided , I made some labels for my Track Boss. Let me know if you want the files and I'll send them to you. I have also added a battery powered book light to my box. (I like to race in subdued room lighting)

This is used primarily for the Falcon V8 SC. Toggle isn't needed anymore since the last build update. The slot next to it is also unused.

Received the velocity R5 and i like it very much. For my rig it's the right size and i really love the rotary encoders

One small note: an angled USB cable included would be nice extra

Forgive me for missing your photo, Henk - thanks for posting it, and your setup looks GREAT! 👍

Happy racing!

Right Angle USB Cable - USB A to B

Hello all,

I am posting this for posterity as it is often asked or sought. I use right angled USB cables on some of my test setups, and I know others would like them. They do save space and at 4 bucks a pop shipped, a good deal.

Here's the ebay seller I use and the link for where to buy them:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/290637007832?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

I don't have commercial sources for these cables, but I've ordered several from them. Hopefully this post will find its way into search results for the future, my motive for posting.

Hi Derek,
After two weeks of using the GT shifter. I must say it is really good and worth it.. Truely value for money compare to rest of the more expensive ones. At first without mounting it, it feels so hard to push. But once it is mounted to my table, the strength is just nice and realistic (me not mascular type like you haha). My Fanatec or G27 shifter had been the weakest link since it is so plasticky toyish light feeling. So once change to the GT shifter, every shift is so positive click that lets you feel that you are in a REAL car and not shifting a toy. Superb fun and imersiveness! I finally get what i see in youtube real GT drivers shifting seq gears in GT cars!

Can't find your threads in Iracing, hence post here. Cheers!

Hi Boons - thanks for your post. I am pleased to hear the shifter is now at home and to your liking! It can be a bit intimidating when it first comes out of the package, but once it's mounted, it just feels "right".

Here's my main thread on iRacing:

I just wanted to post my experience with Derek and DSD.

Some time back I ordered a Black Max button box. It arrived without issue and as expected, it is a well constructed, quality item. Plug and play with iracing and other titles and simply flawless in use.

I think Derek prides himself on his reputation and it is well deserved. I have now placed an order for his bent rod Pro Sequential Shifter and I'm really looking forward to receiving it. I have no doubts it will also be superb.

Keep up the great work Derek, with your products and approach, your business will go from strength to strength.

 

[derekspeare]

Thank you kindl sir! Your confirmation email has been sent, and your shifter will ship in the morning tomorrow. Thanks for the opportunity to earn your business once again

Cheers,

As a sim noob , I looked around internet for some good parts. Found DSD , and had to try it out. Ordered a velocity , and as many before have said. It's quality stuff!!! And the best part is that I thought the package was still in the US, yet when I woke up after the nightshift the package was already laying on the table here... But the icing on the cake there was a free membership promocode for iRacing in the package aswell.
You're too kind, sir. But it is sureley appreciated, Don't need to think about joining now, now I can and will.
