GTS Direct Drive Exhibition Build

[azrilnazli]

This is my long term project, usually I use this for exhibition/rental for 1-2 days in Malaysia

Frame = Playseat F1 with 8040 aluminium frame to withstand the force from 90kg pedal and 20nm wheel base

Wheel base = Large MiGE with 480w SIMUCUBE controller

Rim = Fanatec Precision Formula 270mm with Leo Bodnar USB conversion

Pedal = Heusinkveld Engineering Loadcell 90kg

TV = Sony 1080p 40 inch

Adapter = GIMX

That's a very nice build!
I would be extremely interested of reading about all the details, the build and the know-how about it. You can post it under the Sim Racing Hardware section of this forum.
Most custom builds with direct drive wheels are meant for PC games, but I am very interested in how it feels on PS4 and Playstation.

Driving experience
- you'll slower with much more expensive hardware
- the wheel base will amplify every tiny FFB details up to 25nM in forces ( I only use 9-10nm )
- the brake force range is 75-90kg, similar to most GT3 cars ( F1 is 120kg )

short video of the drive experience, but I talk in Malay, summary..FFB details was amplified with direct drive in the video, the drive experience is much more harder

Is it possible to show the FFB telemetry? ... Damn how tempting that Fanatec F1 rim is.
