Can't be Just Another FIA 'Observer' ALL the time....
Published on February 17, 2010 By Jafo In Personal Computing

I have the computer [i7-920 12gig and XFX 1g GTX285] ....I have the racing sims [GTR, GTR2, GTL, GT Evo, NetKar, GP4, rFactor, NFSU, TestDrive Unlimited] and....I already have the wheel/pedals [G25]....

Logical progression [and an Office/Computer desk rebuild imminent] and it's only fitting I drive in 'style'...

'Should' turn up here in a day or two...[for some reason it's coming from Perth, WA]....

If you experience G-forces while driving, let me know when you're on the road, so I can stay indoors.

G-force is felt in almost everything you do, including driving.

Here's some examples...

2.9 G's in a sneeze
3.5 G's in a cough
4.1 G's in a slap on back
8.1 G's in a hop off step

If you experience G forces at those levels in 'normal vehicle' dynamics then apologise to the tree you just hit....

My seat will be a black one so no 'issues' with panic on Nordschleife.

Re the screen....it'll stay on the 'work' desk where it belongs...

Well....I have it....

It's all black [frame and seat]...and I put the gear lever fitting on the left [where we use them in Oz].  The build quality is nothing short of excellent....and the all-up cost, with the gear selector addon and delivery [from Perth - 2000miles away] added up to AUD $777 ..... worth every penny, too....for anyone 'seriously' into driving....

I'll post some pics....though at the moment things are a bit temporary as I'm building a new office/computer desk soonish...

Bench/desk is currently happening...so seat is in the hall at the moment....

Um yes, you must have the gear lever on the correct side

Yep more money and now you need a HD Projector with a large screen and a large surround sound system.

Looks nice Paul.

That's awesome stuff. How much would that set you back in Dollars? I'm horrible at conversion rates. I take it you play a TON of driving games? It says it supports joysticks too so I'd use it for a flight sim or a mech game. Still, that's a killer set-up.
