At the end of 2019 the simulator trailer had some technical problems.
I took it all apart, every power usb and monitor cable, to diagnose why some of the seats were shutting down.
I could not recreate the problem at home, it only happened when fully setup at events, I even had to refund a good portion of the last event I did. I came to the conclusion this was something to do with running them all on one computer. The only solution was a separate PC for each player.
Then the lockdowns happened... and I was not going to dump $10,000.00 in to a business I was being told I could not run. So everything has sat in a mess of cables and components for 3 years.
I recently decided to take the risk and invest that $ back into this thing. Even though I am basically just a crude game trailer that only plays one game: "Race Cars".
I have been reassembling things for the last week, I still have a few more things to get ready, but I hope that sometime tonight I will be powering it up tonight for the first test run in 3 years.
Thinking of live streaming via facebook for all 0-viewers that will watch me turn it on. lol

It will be connected via Star Link... so it will be possible to log into the race server when that goes up.
