I'm glad to hear VR is good in the sim.

I've never tried VR before, and having some real world track riding in curious how it will compare.

Helmet dragging might make me a little disoriented   

I'm still working on getting a new computer so that will be the next purchase to get the vr and motorcycle rig going.

Oh hey, nouvaic! Yes I did use it in the race.  I'm still getting used to the controls but it has seemed to be working pretty well! 

I'll bounce some ideas off you when I get to that point. I feel like I have a pretty solid design, but it will show it's weakness when made into reality I'm sure.

I'm just on a laptop with no DisplayPort or anything. So I think it is definitely time to upgrade to a gaming computer. I haven't played sim racing games in years so I'm really lacking haha.

Here's a little video of the most recent changes to my handlebars and then some laps. I'm thinking I need a lean axis next for the handlebars and whee to pivot in a half circle. I think that would help with lean but I think it would be more beneficial to be used with VR.

I'm really excited to see how VR feels, I'm expecting to want to have an actual motorcycle rig as the next step to gain more immersion.

Things are going. I've been working on a load cell front brake. I'm thinking my next purchase is a 3d printer( and then learning how to use it) because I feel like I need custom things to make my designs work.

I just picked up an Rift S but now need a better computer. Lol Making progress but slowly.

So I've been taking this time to actually race and get better at GPB.

How is the motion coming along?

Thanks! Will check it different mods. I've downloaded a few already. Hoping to find some leagues or something to race in regularly once I don't crash as often haha

Heck yeah! Looks like a good project.
What motors did you get?
Also, on your scale motors did you print some levers to go on the end of the motor shaft? I can seem to find any levers.
Good luck with the build!

Okay. I thought there were some based on some old YouTube videos or maybe I had just misinterpreted.

Thanks. Just making sure I wasn't missing something.

I have found some good mods though. Also some people to race with online makes things interesting.

I purchased the GPB through steam and I thought there was supposed to be addition bikes.

I still only have the M2?

Well, I should clarify they are only miniature motors, nothing full scale yet.
I would like to build a motorcycle cockpit first I think.

I'll have to look into something like that. Just ordered a bunch of arduino components and potentiometers and small motors to mess with a motion platform!

But here is my last creation, not my most prized masterpiece but it gets the job done for now. Haha

That's a nice design. So I'm guessing the magnet getting closer or further from the sensor is what allows slipping of the clutch?

No 3D printer but I have been reading your m300 thread and there's a lot of good information in there. I'll have to look more closely at it to get an idea for the clutch and foot pedals I think.

I would like to build a shifter and a clutch but that will require ordering some potentiometers and other things.
Still learning these things as I go so will probably be a while before I get to a motion sim though.

The auto clutch works, it must be because of the lower powered bike or something. If I press C and get the revs up it will take off just fine.

It's definitely not perfect, but I can at least make a full lap now, so I'm pretty happy.

Next step is to start working on peripherals!

Demonstration of version 2 and a lap in a much slower bike!
