Getting back to the benefits of sims............

Are there any set-ups that deal with clutches and/or H/T?

It's not my set up but one that I would like to build. The pedals are made by a guy named Todd Cannon, who sells a guide to make the pedal set for $12. He has both floor mounted and hanging set ups. Here is a movie of him testing the pedals:

Yeah, some people take it a little far with sim driving.

If you're going to build some pedals, let me know, I would be interested in building another set for my office.

My system has the clutch pedal. With rear gear grinding if you don't use it.

No sim will ever come close to the pucker factor of on track though. Force Feedback is improving. But until something cracks me up side the head when I roll the car or better yet, empties my bank account when I smack the wall. It will have it's limitations.

ECCI, based in the Twin Cities has the best wheel and pedal I have ever felt BTW.
