[Pedals Set MOD] G.Thrust-natec or G.Fan-master?

Hi,

you get bored with your (too good) HE PRO or Sim3Pedal !
need to feel the good old days…

or simply pacing like a caged lion (maybe sick of working from home! )?

okay, don’t worry, here’s some cool stuff for you!
go to your kitchen (i.e. garage)
and prepare the diner (i.e. make a hardcore pedals set mod).

first, rummage through getting some broken, not functioning, unreliable, soft like “caramel custard” (flanby) parts from your old G25/27, T3PA Pro, CSP V1/V2, CSL Elite,…

 

 

then do your magical mix!

adding some screws, nuts, washers, a bit of elbow grease as usual in DIY project!, also a bit of 3D printing and after some hard work, feel happy like a teen getting his first date and get a pretty decent pedals set:

okay now the big challenge!
try to get a T.RJ12 USB adapter….

damn’! out of stock worldwide…

anyway, if you can’t find it use the big USB adapter provided with your T3PA Pro:

(no error here, the dust on it is also part of the adapter! keep it to increase reliability)

That’s it!

😉

Cheers,

DIY Motion Simulator 2DOF+ZTLS (Zappadoc Traction Loss System) Powered by MotionMax Manager

Hi,

Many people contact me since 2019 to get more info on my DIY concept of motion simulator 2DOF+ZTLS (Zappadoc Traction Loss System) powered by MotionMax Manager software, A PRO grade car racing simulator at affordable price and suitable from casual to PRO driver. Thank you all for your interest and you patience.

Good news! the time to disclose this exiting project in details is arrived.

Bye Bye Fanatec Podium Back To Simucube!

SCORE: FANATEC=5/10 – SimuCUBE1=9/10

Hi,

Here at EKSIMRacing Lab we’re currently finishing a prototype of motion simulator 2DOF+ZTLS (I will talk about the DIY 2DOF simulator with the Zappadoc Traction Loss System soon…) with a steering wheel based on SimuCUBE 1 and WOW!!!!!!!!

Based on the simple Mige motor OSW KIT from SimRacingBay ( I strongly recommend to shop your SC from SRB) but far better than a Podium DD (we have the latest available FW version 1.0.25, we dropped MMOS), I really love this feeling more close to a real racing car.

For those who have a Podium DDx and an unused SC1 MIGE taking dust… I strongly suggest to install back the SC, update the FW (adjust your game settings ) and compare!

no weird noises of the base or/and the power supply,
no weird behaviors of driver,
super stable and reliable,
super responsive,
no flexy QR,
clear feeling of the track surface,
no longer feeling disconnected from car,
very accurate during all session (no loosing ffb accuracy after a session of more than one hour),
strong enough (anything stronger than small MIGE is NOT for you but real trained racing driver, if someone tells you that you need a more powerful motor, that’s pure bullshit ).
cheaper,
nice and recommended!

Start with this simple, neutral and clean SC1 setup below (using 900° or 1080°) which is suitable in 90% of cases and preferably mod the ffb settings of each game, the games today have plenty ffb settings and you need rarely to change your SC1 default. Get into the habit of returning the steering wheel to the center after turning off the PC (or simply check the wheel center after PC startup).

 

Now after that I would love to give the small SC2 a try… even if there’s no gain to expect in terms of pure driving (DD2/SC2 is more about marketing than real improvement related to direct drive technology and minus all other redundant (useless for me) features like wireless, direct button/axe management, integrated shifter and pedals set management, etc. )…

The Fanatec “ecosystem” is outstanding but keeping backward compatibility with old hardware on Podium series was a big mistake and leads to more complex software driver/firmware and electronics making the podium series unreliable, IMHO.

Cheers,
z
