With VR all my attempts at a cab recreation are wasted.

I dont think ill ever be into VR. Im not a fan of the headsets. I dont like not being able to see outside of the game. I feel the same way about gaming with headphones though. I dont like being isolated from the real world.
If you would like to see the Mic in action in game. I did a video using it with OBS. I havent done much with the convoy side outside of just making sure it worked.

Thank you! It's a lot of fun I love these truck sim games.
I for a long time had a wooden attachment to my Ikea Poang chair that I attached my wheel to. It became quite cumbersome to climb in and out of the chair like a canoe. So Finally I added a new shelf so the chair is free.
I've been thinking about building my own ffb wheel. I want to first focus on cab/dash recreation
Sure. It's just a button box I created for American truck simulator so that I can have things like a keyed ignition and various buttons to map for in game use. Utilizing a old Xbox 360 controller I was able to attach leads to the buttons pads and use the controller in place of a USB encoder. I run simhub with a custom dash from my phone and the lighting is for ambiance and function. My cab is kinda dark so there are times where having a light is very handy.
This was a fun build. I got to utilize a old xbox 360 controller and a LED touch light.
Stay tuned ill have a build video soon.
I really like mine. Its comfortable for long races. I did brace the chair so at the moment mine doesnt have the rocking effect. Here are some pics for a couple months ago when I got my g29. https://imgur.com/gallery/9kkFi4T
I really like it and I think I could hide all the guts underneath the chair when its all said and done.
Honestly I have a Poang chair from ikea and I was thinking about using windshield wiper motors like this fella did. https://www.xsimulator.net/community/threads/ikea-1-5-dof-ultra-comfort.5602/ I think it would be a great entry level start then Ill maybe move on to actuators and big boy stuff.
Man thats cool. I want to build my own wheel too. I think once I determine which motor to use Ill be golden just hard to decide. Im hoping to build a motion rig also in the future.
