Has anyone ever tried using tracks from GTR2? The Imola on that is great and a MOD version.

All you need is to have a pressure sensor that could bolt into the master cylinder directly, BUT there would be no space for fluid to move and it would be like the brake is on all the time, the lever would be nearly solid. You would need something for the fluid to press against until it stopped. Dont forget the brake pads only move 2mm to 5mm then hit the disk.......solid lever. Love the lil ol diagram Max. All we need is to have a small unit that bolts between the master cylinder and the sensor, that will move a small amount= initial braking and then block= actual full braking and putting full pressure on the sensor.  This would mean few components and real feel, it will take a bit of playing around to get right but it should work.

Teeds that switch on the master cylinder(universal Harley I custom built them 25 years) its just the brake switch and no use. its digital not analog.

Cheers bro, the USA shit killed me and having to start fresh in UK aint easy but getting there.

Road warrior says remember the nightrider, guess its time to pull up a mad max video lol

DD

Yeah gotta agree with you. I just know there must be a way to get the right feeling with the right data output some way or another, but thats what this is about, making something that dont exist is so much fun and challenging that when you find the solution it feels 10 times better than getting it off the shelf at a high price. I will stick to washing up bottles and duck tape method lol.

DD

Yeah but do you have the T-shirt Max lmao

DD

LOL funny f**ker love it. Great to see you again Doc.

DD

Thanks H. I found them before but forgot it lmao. Im old.

I am thinking to try with no caliper and just a pressure sensor to save on components needed and weight for shipping. I have to think of these things bugger lol. I think trying different fluids might bring surprise results as you dont need to think about heat. It depends on the brake systems seals. DOT 5 is best as it will not damage paint etc if spilled in the home.

I want to make a system that uses as little amount of components as possible so am trying all sorts of weird and wonderful shit out lol.

It reminds me of when I was a kid watching Blue Peter and how they made so much out of washing up bottles and a sponge lol. God Im old!!!!

DD

NO fair it wont work on mine. Had it in 6b but wont work on my 6c???

Bummer

DD

LOL glad someone posted at last. The bike can get carried away with itself and not want to stop in some places.

DD

Thats impressive H. Wonder what price though???

DD

It may be an ugly duckling now, but it dont take much to cover it up lol. Great work m8.

DD

Hi "H" can you give the link for the lever set please. Thats a dang good price. My problem is I cant use used parts and need to ensure all parts are good quality and supply is good too. The hydraulic way is better than using cables but more expensive so it will be offered as an option.

This thread is getting good.

DD

Cant get it to work in 6c???

Well that make 4 of us for night ridin. We could start a club and all say "Remember the night rider" lol. For those not in the know its the classic MAD MAX saying, love it.

I will look around the TDU Modder forums as I remember a guy did a mod for TDU1 for night riding. I used it and was pretty good from what I remember.

I am hoping to go to Slightly Mad Studios in 2 weeks to talk to Andy about my controllers and will also ask if anyone of the guys has tried GPBikes and try to get a wee bit of help on modding.

If we try we might get something going.

Hi SAS, hey bro dont give up on owning a scoot man. Your only 17, so much can happen in life. If I told you all the things Ive done and I left school with NO papers I paid cash for my first Rolls, owned my own custom Harley shop and driven every supercar I ever wanted to, all because I am determined to do it. You WILL have your own ride one day. Until then keep with the dream and put as much in your sim racing as you can.

I remember building RC motorbikes and having lights to race at night as it is so much fun and a challenge too. I hope it gets made so we at least have the option to have night racing, could you imagine LeMans on bikes!!! That would be so frickin cool. You could have 3 riders in a team each doing 2 hour stints like LeMans kinda has. I just think it should be an option and who is to say that in real life it will never happen??

Hope to see some of your work with lights on bikes, love it.
