ERacer's DFP setup

[ERacer]

Just went over to Fly Racing's website(www.flyracing.com) and had a look @ the gloves that you were talking about. Those gloves look pretty good. Even in blue. Now if I can only figure out the correct size for it so that it can fit on my hand. I take L or XL, but their size chart is in numbers. For the time being, I'll settle for a pair of gloves I was able to buy from The Home Depot. It's not too thick, but it's soft and has padding on the palms.

Hey CAM,

The gloves come in a few different colors - red/black, blue/black, grey/black, etc and their web site has a sizing chart with instructions on how to correctly size your hand. If I remember, you need to measure the width of your index and middle fingers combined and then find that measurement on their chart. Keep in mind, the gloves stretch a bit.

Wow! Really? That's something to definitely look into! You wouldn't have any kind of link/URL to any type of news article or confirmation on this do you by chance?

Cheers,

I did a quick search and found this link which gives a brief glimpse into a professional gamers' life in South Korea. This 23 year old pulls in $190,000 a year playing one game! Incredible!!

Say, ERacer - can you hear the game thru the helmet. I use a headset so my kids don't hear the game when I play. They make speakers for helmets. Amazon has them for $29.

Thanks Jag! Yeah, I kinda went a bit overboard with all the gear, but I feel it's all about the racing simulation, right?

You've got a good start there with your setup. I'm curious - is that table stable enough? You might try to build a rectangular frame as a base and secure the legs to that and then, at some point, get a chair and attach that to the frame. I'm sure you've seen that type of design posted here.

Keep us posted on your setup. 👍

Cool looking rig!!!

I couldn't help but to notice your shoes. What kind of shoes are they and how much do they cost? As of late, the bottom of my feet have not been too pleased while racing in socks I put some house shoes on today and I had an issue with the left foot (brake) getting hung up on the clutch if my foot had slipped off a bit. So, I'm looking for shoes that are comfy, firm bottom (I suppose) and a grippy bottom. There is no traction on those G25 pedals

The shoes are Adidas Mat Hog Shoes. Wresting shoes. Very light weight and breathable mesh makes for a very comfortable shoe. Great grip too. Got them on Amazon and very pleased.

Looking into them, thanks a bunch!

They pretty much form to your foot, not much larger than wearing socks? My concern is having my foot getting hung up on the clutch pedal as with my house slippers or with regular running shoes.
