For the pedals, I had an idea that maybe someone could try. My plan was to take out the servo sensors from the pedal base and mount them upside-down on a vertical surface, with some extensions (I was thinking a set of pedals from a real car). That way, they would swing forward, like a real car, instead of down.

Yeah it could be pretty nice! My dad had said the same thing! It will be more realistic and maybe more comfortable?!

But what i though to make is probably a board with angle to put the pedal on it for beginning....and if it's ok...i think that i'll be happy with that :)

AND....in last...if i have more cash i'll probablye buy one of these pedal set and shifter
all compatible with the DFP i think

They have real momo wheels, hydrolic pedals with clutch, shifter with digital indicator, shaker cushion etc etc... :)

Very nice sled! :)

The amount of work that went into that is very admirable. Congratulations and many happy GT miles. :)

FYI The clutch will not work with PS2..but than I'm sure you already knew that...and only the shift+ (A sequential shifter) & Handbrake+ are going to work with the PS2/GT4...all in all though, Frex provides top notch products that will definitely make playing GT4 seem way more realistic than using the standard Logitech DFP Controls!
 
Alex, ton cockpit bouges-tu? Genre si il wobble d'un bord a l'autre ou il est tres ferme? Je regardais les meme materiel et pamal le meme design, mais chu pas sur si ca va pas trop bouger, chu pamal lourd.. :(
 
:dopey: I think you should write a nice letter to... Santa(hehehe) and tell Him how good you've been :bowdown: and... that you deserve a nice 52" HDTV screen(or larger) :lol:

Cest quand meme tres stable! LA seul chose qui bouge pour l'instant c'est la partie avant puisqu'elle est plutot longue. Donc si j'appuis vers le bas de mon volant ...le devant va lever!

2 Choix possible, ajouter du poidds a lavant...ou ce que je vais faire...me faire une braquette de metal en "T" ou en "L" qui va venir se fixer sur les patte qui monte a 90 degree et sur la base. Comme ca, il n'y aura plus de mouvement vu que la partie montante va etre "soudé" en quelques sorte avec la base :)

SI tu es intéresser contactes moi j te dirai un peu plus en detail comment jai fais..mais j crois pas que ca soit bien bien compliké. SI javais a refaire, j le ferais quand meme un peu plus court...Ca prendre de la place dans une maison :D Mais bon jpeux le deplacer, etant donner que j'lui ai mis des petit coussinets en dessous pour mieux glisser! :)

Bonne chance la!!
 
Nice cockpit 👍 But where do you put it when your not playing?

I Tried it today with NFS : Underground 2 and it was really fun, cause NFS support the 900 degree mode of the DFP! Very happy to have a cockpit now!!! DFP make all the difference, but the cockpit help a lot!!!!! :D
