I had a buddy over last night and decided I wanted to show him my set up. I'm pretty pleased with my DIY rig...it came together in a way that I really get a kick out of and I wanted to show it off a bit. So, I took it out of the closet and put it together - a process that takes about 3 minutes, which is one of the things I'm most pleased about. Now, when I use the rig it's 100% stable and locked down. I have no issues at all with things shifting or moving around or anything like that - which is another aspect I'm pleased about. But, I'm familiar with using wheel sets with games and with Force Feedback in general. My buddy gets behind the wheel and within seconds he's attempted to save a spin by applying 100% of the force of both legs to the pedals at the same time and pushed the base a couple inches forward against the TV console. As I'm watching him attempt to steer I can see the wheel base flexing on the plate it's mounted on from the force of him pulling on the wheel. At times, he's actually lifting the whole stand off the floor...lol. He spent about 15 minutes driving around in a few different cars and by the end he was sort of getting the hang of it and was enjoying himself but the whole time I"m thinking "**** I hope my gear survives this!"
I think I've rid myself of the urge to show off my toys.![LOL :lol: :lol:](/wp-content/themes/gtp16/images/smilies/lol.svg?v=3)
