    i never paint my wheels myself...Mercedes aluminum or hydropaint wheels paints in a professional car paint workshop.They have primer coating and then electrostatic painting.

    I know your more into building wheels more towards direct drive, but was wondering if fl0wf1r3 is unable to go down this route, maybe you could, to me it makes sense being able to make rims like this to attach to the Uni Hub, could be done as a kit, especially 300mm GT3 rims, just a thought.

    yes , you thinking right.But i don't work with Fanatec bases at all.That not means that i am not work to a solution as you said...I have think to build some wheel plates that can use with Fanatec Uni Hub....Btw , my wheels are already 300mm , so i think needs only some modifications....i think that i try it soon...

    Look forward to it..;)
    I think I mentioned to you awhile ago now, I would love for someone with the ability to strip down my Fanatec F1 rim and build a GT3 rim to contain all the workings, ever fancy using it for that we should talk..:)

    That's a nice setup. I have a spare set of g27 pedals, keep meaning to make a handbrake out of them.....

    Thanks.

    About handbrake:
    with #amstudio tutorial will be very simple. Choose your "structure", for example, you can start with a real hydraulic HB. Or you can work a simple bar, stick, rod or whatever you look like!

    Yes I've seen that, very good videos, he uses a 3d printed part which is very neat. I will probably just use the g27 pedal and some aluminium tubing or similar. Ive got various springs and foam inserts to make it feel decent.

    Cockpit looks good but you really need your screen closer, it should be right up behind the wheel base

    Honestly I tested and it's OK for me, my eyes don't like to have the screen(s) too closed

    It peoples own opinion on the distance and how they use the game view, it's the same as fov everyone has their own taste.

    @Lachaussette nicely built bud..;)

    Agree, but with fov there's a right and a wrong, even if some people won't admit it.

    I always prefered feeling to set my elements instead of respecting measures exactly but be sure that I'm very satisfied by distance of each element that I tested a month before fixing them :cool:

    You're not the only one who's tell me that my screen is too far and I'm agree that is not a recommended distance by scientifics of simracing :D But I'm cool with this setup ;) Ten years that I keep my screens so far with my distant vision :p

    If I set my fov at the recommended setting for my screen and distance it looks awful and driving is horrible, it's like you in slow motion and driving the car becomes so over sensitive also it's not natural to the eye.

    Same feeling if i follow the "FOV rules".

    Resolution, screen quality and aspect ratio are defined values but we have different visual/optical perception, habits and different time reaction.
