It would possess so much more gravitas if you had shared the German: Baum Bewegung.

Good Vibrations

The Discord server Good Vibrations is now welcoming members by invitation.

Goals:

• Share tactile documentation, recommended hardware lists and profiles
• Help anyone who is trying to setup a tactile system for private use

Principles:

• No paywall
• Closely aligned with Wotever and his Simhub administrators
  • upcoming synchronization with his Discord

Experts will share their profiles and setups to help community users to reach their next level tactile setup

Rules:

• use your real name “first name”
• be polite
• respect others and their opinions
• willingness to share and help
• introduce yourself
• no personal attacks
• no offensive messages nor harassing others
• no commercial usage out of gained material/information

How do I get an invitation?

If you agree with the rules above, you have already a tactile system, contact one of the Discord Administrators. That currently includes myself, Mark, and two others.

how far we can go you can see on my setup
but dont get scared - there are many ideas for great entry level setups available

Peter,

Thank you very much for making and sharing the three rig tactile diagrams complete with soundcard, transducers, amps, and cables.

Thank you also for the tips for making SpeakOn cables a little less pricey!

Ausgezeichnet!

Sincerely,
Chris

New Project

following months i will do a new real vs sim project. i did already some XBOW vs SIM work, but this time i step into GT3. I will merge my sim with this beauty - a 991.2 CUP including ABS upgrade.

in a first shot i was asked to fix the steering wheel - Reverse button was not working - and a simracing expert has the original APEM hat home

honestly that was not a big challenge and the CUP steering wheel is ready to go

all tests went well - steering wheel back to the Porsche and we hope to hear this sound soon on the racetrack - its planned to do the first stints mid october.

Next, i started to set my pedals to the real feel. OK, my simtag are not inverted, but the pedal feel and pressure are 98% the same - now i know what simtag customers (real race driver) mean, when saying "it feels exactly the same". I was already super happy about real vs sim on XBOW - but when it comes to the Porsche - honestly its again much closer.

some ideas out of the last project brainstorming

- new steering wheel for my sim
- new Cosworth DDU for my sim
- new tactile & motion sensations
- ABS
- real vs sim telemetry data like already done, but a bit more detailed

next chapter in this amazing project/journey

i drove the Porsche GT3 Cup at Slovakia Ring - we spent 3 days on the racetrack together with the team with the clear mission
learn - listen - feel - execute

the repaired steering wheel was working without any problems
looks like sim knowledge is good enough for motorsports ......

let me share some highlights

sim preparation before we went on the track - with racelogic and motec

for sure we had some technical problems - like a broken V-belt - a minor Porsche tear down and a great example to get in touch with the racing hardware

great weather and a great track - for sure the GT3 cup is nice too

to get most out of my driving, the team offered a PRO coach to improve my skills as quick as possible

back home i started the deep dive to understand the car and driving data. Beside gained experience i will use all car data to improve/update my simrig setup (motion, tactile, force feedback). But now its time to read manuals and gain cosworth pi tool experiences.

Such an incredible rig!! I’m assuming you made the heel rest for your pedals?

thanks for your feedback
yes, my design - but the lasercut was done in a CNC shop

Epic, thanks. Have dropped you a pm with some questions. Hope that’s ok!

Hi @Aidan Hanlon ,

let me answer to the whole audience - supports the forum and other people maybe interested too. i made the following design in AUTOCAD Mechanical and sent it to a leaser cut company. I decided to use 3mm stainless steel. The green arrow marks the bending - the shop should be able to bend steel, but his is not needed, just a cosmetic thing to cover the 80/20 construction.

next chapter in this amazing project/journey

- cockpit ready for training sessions
- rearrangement of the whole seating position
- complete new motion/tactile setup to match PI Tools Data (telementry data from porsche gt3 cup)
- new steerng wheel
- new cosworth ddu
- some finetunine within AC - sol - pure - csp

 

[Peter Winkler]

as i will have more and more training sessions with different cars i was looking for a life hack to change the seat angle in few seconds

i newer loved my seat pillow - it was just too big - i hate when my legs touch the pillow during racing and during sim training - so the next life hack - just replaced it by a standard pillow foam. so much better feel
