I saw the pic and read the first post, skipped the other 12 pages. James, you are the fucking man. I've always wanted to build a setup with a chair, wheel & pedals, and a sick TV. I must now add a dash.

I don't think there will be much extra wear on the logitech wheel motors - they are made to fight the leverage a human exerts on the wheel so I'm sure they can withstand a few ounces of inertia.

That would be awesome - not sure about the application of those blueprints lol - but using e30 pedals is a must.

Use some springs too so everything has decent weight and feel to it.

And the horn, ebrake etc, are ran through a series of relays (to turn on lights and such) and also interfaced with a I-PAC VE

Looks like James is getting a little bit of attention from the gaming community. There was a link on Kotaku (kotaku.com) to a site that did a small article on the simulator.
