The video quality is a bit rough.

I haven't build up my rack again, but I am running a second monitor on my standard computer since 3 weeks now, so I started up the Live for Speed Race Simulator (don't mix it up with Need-for-speed) and I must say:
2x 23" Monitors with 4096x1152 pixel in a Race-Simulator is breathtaking!

It is a much deeper experiences than just runing it with a single monitor.

Cheers,

Daniel

I can't afford a real race car so this one has to do, had a friend from Norway paint a GT40 in PTS Livery! Took the pleasure of lifting a few PTS customer logos and added them to the paint job for that realistic look :)

I always thought that was the "pin" for the motor. Meaning, when it is pulled the motor grenades......

The red ring would be the tow-hook, the guys who model the real life cars in these sims take great pride in making them as realistic as possible with the physics of the engine/suspension down to the body work.

That would take up more than the area alotted for my sim rig "by she who must be obeyed"!

Would be an interesting conversation piece though! :mrgreen:

I don't drive very many open-wheeled cars though, I like the Grand Am DP's
