That is very cool. Especially the newer versions. Using a real dash board.

Defcon5 · 15 Dec 2007 at 23:31

Very good.

Probably as it's expensive and the dials are on the screen anyway. Over than the wow factor. There not that useful. They don't really add much realism to the game.

Damn that's nice

I want one...

Fair play on the hobby-factor

Reminds me of playing ridge racer down the arcade, what game is it.

It could be a usefull in a luxury way, you can make the dials bigger and they neednt obstruct your vision on the screen anymore

Theres a few of people done this, some of them are brilliant as they haev actually used an actual cars dash.

19ninety · 16 Dec 2007 at 10:21

you know what, I'd actually use these over screen ones, why? bacause you dials arent in the windscreen of your car, at each corner, they're specificaly placed between your hands. So turn the hud off, enjoy kool dials.

I'd love a sim style setup, like the flight sim guys use, but with a wheel, would be pretty kool, hmmm

Like this one?

Nice touch with the dials but there not for me as i don't like anything between my wheel & screen. I have a Superb Sim set up here using a Momo & peddles & a single CRT. Got it out last night to try the new Rally cross mod on RFactor, 6R4's, RS500's, Audis, Pugs etc Great mod.
I'd like a triple monitor set up though as that looks top & 1 monitor does make gaming a bit letterbox, Especially racers.
Good effort with the Dials though :cool:

If I had that at my house Id be classified a geek forever! Where can I get one?

Now that is an awesome home project! Its just a shame about the bezels on the screens if you could remove them it would look fantastic with no borders!
