my custom TruckSim Rig - stopped counting the number of hours invested. Eventually: it was worth every second, but still i have ideas and i am making tweaks to it. Most recent thing done: Pull rope and switch for the air horn.
Why no analogue gauges? The answer:
on the one hand Canbus units in combination with Simhub Software and custom software at this time in an Windows Environment have quite a remarkable latency. I'd be frustrated to feel this ltency from input to output.
on the other hand the usability of the gauges and the display and control indicators are limited, compared to the use of Sim Dashboard, which does have infact ZERO latency.
Since i play ATS / ETS / FS on this rig, the display can be used as mutlifunctional unit either way for SimDashBoard or other windows apps.
So i knowingly decided to rather not use analogue gauges dashboard from genuine dashboard and same time the multi purpose use of the monitor is the most driving element for this decision. Nevermind on this piece of additional gaming immersion, which anyways would frustrate me by the latency delay.
Way more information on my discord and more close ups, showing the quality of the build. Make sure to apply for the setup role
