Hello from Canada.
I currently use the X-SIM environment to feed my Arduino micro-controller + Car dashboard setup with racing sims telemetry. The dashboard is for the Mazda 3 model. I will provide a complete guide book on how to build that setup within this year. The sims that I'm successfully using with X-SIM are Assetto Corsa, DIrt2, Project CARS, rFactor2 and Euro Truck Simulator 2.
Examples of my setup are provided on Youtube. To watch them, enter the following keywords in Youtube's search engine: rqoRMZMPC9M
Visit my Youtube channel (OpAnaconda2430) to find downloadable mods that I made for Assetto Corsa.
I eventually plan to build a 3 DOF motion seat with 3 scn5 actuators. I'm still collecting informations on how to build that setup at the lowest possible cost.
Here are my specs:
CPU: Intel I7 4770k @ 4.7GHz cooled by a Noctua NHD14
RAM: Kingston HyperX 16GB / Motherboard: Asus Saberthooth Z87 / GFX: NVidia GTX 770
Main OS drive: Samsung 840 Evo SSD 250 GB / Operating system: Windows 10
Power Supply: Corsair Professional HX850 850W / Sound Card: Creative XFi Titanium Pro
Racing simulation interface: X-Sim, Logitech G27, Arduino microcontroller, Mazda 3 instrument cluster
Display configuration: VR support with Oculus Rift DK2 and Samsung 55 inches
Assetto Corsa specs: GFX to highest settings / Realism: Pro
