No where do you see TC?

Not TC... CC...

There's a button "CRUISE" on there setting something to all kinds of km/hs.

Quote from GTR Racer :

kinda weird having guitar-amp knobs on a formula 1 control unit...

Try to find knobs that look like the ones on the BMW steering wheel, you'll tear your hair out. After a week of searching to no avail, I gave up. The guitar amp knobs are the best I could come up with.

If anyone knows where I can get good-looking knobs, please tell me.

Video is coming soon (I had a busy weekend). I should be able to put something up tonight.

Quote from TagForce :

Can you tell me what kind of dials you've used?

I've been looking for a couple that give different signals depending on the direction of turn (1 button for left, 1 button for right) but haven't found one...

Would be sweet for adjusting rollbar/brakebalance, and do pit adjustments (like more/less fuel).

Yes, I use Bourns rotary digital contacting encoders. They send quadrature code output, the U-HID interprets one button press for one direction and another button press for the other direction (which is exactly what you want ).

Adjusting roll bars, brake balance, etc. with the knobs will require some shenanigans with LFS scripts. I'm pretty sure it will work, I just haven't gotten around to it yet.

You should make a how to guide, with how you made all the buttons and LCD display. So we can make it too, and you could update it when ever you want with new functions you found and stuff. This is offcourse if you would want to share your secrets with the rest of the world

Thanks... I'll see if I can get a couple of those.

Scripting is a challenge, yes. But it should indeed work.

It looks really nice! I'm interested to see how it progresses

Quote from TagForce :

Yeah, I haven't identified anything yet that I don't think will work. It's just going to be a little gross writing a script to navigate the menus to change the brake bias or ARBs instead of exposing controls for increasing or decreasing them directly.

Hint, hint, Scawen.

were did you get the documentation about simgauge from simtools? their website doesn´t seem to be working.

Great mod

I found something similar to this...... have a look http://www.wcgtr2.com/Download ... oni_RSW-G25itaRidotto.pdf

I don't use SimGauge. I wrote everything myself.

That does look pretty cool, thanks for the link.

For anyone who's wondering about a tutorial, I haven't much time at all to work on it. I'd like to get one up sometime, but I can't speculate when that would happen. I'm more than happy to ask questions, though, so feel free to send me PMs.

Also, if anybody wants to buy one or if there are any venture capitalists among you, I'd love to hear from you.

How much would you be offering?

Because im very interested, depending on the price.

PM me and we'll discuss.

Done!

Here's my latest, of which aoun will soon be the proud owner:

This wheel uses a Leo Bodnar SLI-PRO and has 12 buttons, six 12-way switches, and two rotary encoders. Two of the switches control the display and one of the encoders controls brightness (as you'll see in the first video).

Mods, this thread would definitely be more appropriate in Hardware. I won't complain if you move it.

Holy ****, that's a lot of switches and buttons

It looks rlly great, would like to have something like that too

but i'm also happy with my g25
