Hello!

Please help me out guys. I am working on my simulator but I am in trouble finding the right spot for the pedals and seat. Is there any way professionals do this or it's just build as you like? Same goes for the wheel.

The goal is for my son to sit in the joyrider and have some sort of controller/joystick whereby he could watch a video ...

I have a x-sim cockpit that was working with windows vista perfectly, but since I installed windows 7 is not working properly (it stops). So, I think that can be the driver from the converter, maybe its the Xsim software, but dont think.

I have the converter that you can see below.

Thanks for everyone

Hello,
i've tried browsing for a while to look for my answer, a bit overwhelming to be honest, so please forgive me if this question has been answered. :)
I already have a (a few actually) racing wheel, and PC etc. Is it possible to build a motion chasis that's nice (fairly accurate motion) under $1000.00 USD?
