Hello folks,
Some months ago i started working on an old simracer dream that i have.
I want an f1 cockpit replica, with wheel and pedal set as close as possible as the real thing.
I started with the steering wheel design process since it is the the most sourced (infos) thing of the whole project.
I'm an "IT guy" but my shool background is more about technical drawings, automatism and machining, but this was 20-25 years ago .
My wheel project is inspired by the Mclaren MP4-26 steering wheel and based on an SLI-Pro since the SLI-f1 seems to be abandoned or at least delayed to nowhere
It will come with :
9 Buttons
2 Toggle Switchs
4 Shifting pads
2 Analog pads (for clutch or anything else ^^)
6 Rotary switches (its missing on from the real thing but sli-pro only manages 6 if i'm correct).
The design is almost complete, most of the parts have been modelled including switchs, rotary swith or encoders, this will prevent bad surprises when I will send the cad files for machining and assembling the whole thing after that .
A lot of polishing to do, i hope to be able to have my first wheel around July or August 2013 as well as the pedal set which the design as not been started yet.
