I saw that a while ago but I never worked out how to get the data from x-sim for the racers I was using :(
hopefully sliversgyj would be able to help us figure it out. The app that fergo tech included seems very simple. I'm pretty sure to add support for other sims should be rather easy. I'm not a programmer, but would definitely be able to pay if someone makes an app for the arduino to support multiple games for sim wind.

for i am not at home yet.i will show you the datail and code later.
 
Here's my current setup. still in the progress of getting the quick release system working. As the others, It's an ever evolving rig and I spend way too much time rig building, maintaining and fixing instead of racing. As of now the fans just work with iracing. Eager to getting them working on other titles. The gs-4 motion seat works great with all the simxperience supported titles now. The porsche wheel center cap is actually from an old fanatec wheel and i stuck it onto the Ecci momo team leather wheel and fits perfectly.

Some lighting so i could race in the dark and still see button box.

Please do let us know how you got the software and fan running with x-sim. I've only managed to get it working on iracing so far using fergotech's method of driving PC 120mm fans. Would love to try it out with that fan you showed and have support on other sims.

Here's the link to what I followed. http://fergotech.net/diy-wind-simulation
The communication from adrunio to x-sim is through USO interface.you may reference this post:
http://www.x-sim.de/forum/viewtopic.php?t=155
my code is base on that.(move the gear digit to a single output,and add some key setting ,and fans control)


BTW,Nicholas,It a pity,I can't see your share pics:thumbsdown:For my G25 is still work fine.so I also decide to add a cheap quick release for it to change a formula style wheel.

Thanks for looking.
How stable is the wheel mount with force feed back. From the pics on their site it doesn't look very stable but this seat look s to have most of the options I want.
 
my simulator DIY with xsim.
this is my last working installation.
right now I'm in an apartment the time to build my house.
I'd installed in February, with a new steering wheel, and can be my new simulator if it is done!

So how do you get the Levono tablet to display all the info in iracing? Very interested.
 
Where's your speakers Mohammed? I see a sub there, but not much else.
I know that not everyone can afford an amp/speaker system like mine, hell, even I can't, ;-) but you have got to have some sound at least.

Monitor speakers? Headphones? Or am I just being blind?

It took me about 5 attempts to get this uploaded, I can never remember which bloody link you need to use, DOH!
