Look, I just bought..

Because the head of my old one broke a few days back,

I've seen this kind of thread on a few forums, and it's actually a convivial place for general talk. So, why not us too .

 

[luchian]

..because Black Friday, at Derek Speare Designs

 

[cata82]

niceeee, enjoy it man

 

[luchian]

Little update for the cockpit .

 

[Alexjonson]

Oh holy shit this will be my new fav. thread!! LOL

 

[luchian]

..aaand Black Friday strikes again. Although I had to also bring in Santa to get the "OK" . Still worth it. I hope. Will see when they get here.

Hadn't found this thread before. Not directly sim racing, but I will use it to help texture my buildings.

Oculus Rift purchased in the black friday frenzy... not 100% my 970 is up to the task but we'll find out soon!

Bit self-centred, but the thing I'm most looking forward to is seeing my own creations come to life in AC!

[emoji28] any reason is a good reason ! Indeed the Balck Friday prices were finally what Palmer initially announced "ball park around 350 $/€", considering the package includes the Touch controllers.
I got/received mine last summer for my birthday but.. can't use it in AC: I get dizzy !

I'm extremely interested to see how I cope with it in AC, given thats what I plan on using it for 95% of the time!

I tried VR at Spa this year for 3 measly laps on Project Cars 2... And whilst it did cause some strange discomfort in the first couple of braking zones/corners, by the 3rd lap it was feeling great!

I expect being able to fit it correctly and take the time to ensure its setup properly will be a big advantage, though I am expecting it to push me to spending more money on a new GPU... Hope i can hold off till the next gen!

Still rockin' a 5D mkII. It's been round the clock but still working so I can't justify a mkIV. Yet...

 

[luchian]

@garyjpaterson I would definitely wait for the next generation. Somehow..

@Willy Wale my favorite model, I love all 5Ds. Even though I only own a 550d. But my lenses will fit the full frame, when I will be able to upgrade. My main lens is a 17-40mm F/4L.

@luchian we may need a photo equipment GAS thread

Yes, the 5D is the right size and it does the job. I bought mine when the mk III was launched and the price dropped.

My main lens changes. I go through phases of leaving the 50mm f/1.8 attached. Superb quality for less than 80 pounds. But otherwise it's the 24-70mm f/2.8

Picked up this piece of junk today ;-)
Paid $100 for it!

SEGA 1989 Super Monaco GP

In working order, steering wheel needs work as well as paddle shifters, but still playable.
Going to be a fun resto project.
I restored a Tekken 3 machine a couple years back.

Haven't taken a pic of the screen but here's a screenshot I found online ^^^

..I say forget the "old" one, make a modern cockpit out of it

 

[Prototype]

Ha ha that DID cross my mind !
I think the layout is a bit limited though ... small single screen, seat cant be adjusted ... wheel position ... etc
But if you gutted the entire thing and put in a racing seat on rails etc .. could be fun.
No rush to do anything with it yet...
