    I used to have mine attached to an old school desk. The whole desk would shake when ya went over the ripple strips or on to the grass! It was the full 4D experience lol

    I used to have mine attached to the back of a wooden kitchen chair. I had a bunch of heavy things sitting on the chair to stop it from moving so much. I think it helped me to appreciate it more once I did get a rig (F1GT from Pagnian).

    I’m hoping muscle memory will kick in, plus on AC/ACC it tells you on screen what you’ve changed it too... though atm ACC the font is tiny...

    My setup.
    I use the Thrustmaster t300 Wheel and peddles. The wheel is attached to my table. It's bloody stable. I reckon I could put a direct drive wheel on it and get no shakes.

    For the flawed design of the Thrustmaster peddles, I built my own housing for them out of poly board, to keep them solid as a rock and to stop them from tipping over.
    I sit on a zq racing seat. Very happy with it. Very sturdy considering I haven't screwd it down into a cockpit.

    I recently just built some stainless steel headphone holders. Got tired of fumbling with them on the table. I think they turned out fantastic. Strong too. I do mostly sheet metal and welding at my work. So these were a cinch to make. I'd be more than happy to make more up for anyone here.

    Well it's the end of an era. This ol' G25 has been through alot and soldiered on through a few significant repairs over the 10 odd years of thrashing erm I mean service. Shame the GTEye spring upgrade on the pedals was just getting worn in :)

    Have upgraded to the Fanatec CSL Elite PS4 and LC.

    Had one quick play on it last night after I got it all set up. Wheel feels buttery smooth. Build quality is nice and very solid. The brake feels good but surprised that the throttle and especially clutch feel a bit light compared to the GTEye springs in the G25 pedals. Tried putting the high density foam back in the clutch that's supplied in lieu of the load cell brake kit, but it's a bit too hard for a clutch, so might try some different sponge compounds in the same spot.

    Didn't even know you could use it as a handbrake. Thought you just really liked ace combat or something lol
