General Discussions / GI Max & SimDash & pCars

« on: August 28, 2014, 09:41:31 am »

Hey Guys,

I have stepped away from Sim Racing for the past 4 or 5 months. Tonight I updated a few Sims and I noticed GI Max & SimDash are no longer working for pCARS. Is it because of all the updates pCARS has undergone lately? If so, any idea before the aforementioned are working again.

cheers

General Discussions / 64 bit iRacing

« on: November 01, 2012, 08:06:17 am »

I just installed iRacings new build which included the 64 bit architect. However SimDash does not work, I take it only works 32bit? The rev burner and GI Max does not work either. Do you need to code these for 64 bit before they work?

General Discussions / My Rig #1

« on: December 19, 2011, 03:44:22 am »

Hi guys,

 I began researching rigs in January of 2010 and it really opened my eyes to the possibilities out there. Myself and two friends built the frame over a two month period putting in a couple hours here and there. One design that I kept coming back to was the Zalem rig. Built out of the Country of Spain, I liked it's simplicity and it's unique design. The originator had put a blueprint on the net and I modified his plans to suit my own. I would like to thank this gentleman for providing these plans freely to us,  I believe he has updated his design and has had several new versions.

I got my Rev Burner and GI Max a week or two ago and have my tach running smoothly. My rig has been a WIP for some time now (aren't they always) I wanted to share some photos of it with you. BTW I want to order another rev burner for a Speedometer but finding a suitable Speedometer is becoming more challenging then I thought. I live in Western Canada in the Province of Alberta, does anyone know where I can find one, even if it has to be shipped?

I have a whole room dedicated to Sim racing, my plan is to have my room painted during the winter and posters and memorabilia put up. The walls are rather barren at the moment.  I am waiting for a Pro sequential shifter and Track Boss Button Box from Derek Speare. At this point the rig has been Powder Coated. I will be building a console along the left side of the rig. Above the keyboard is a 19" monitor with iSpeed telemetry display.

The sound system on rig #1 is built from older components and newer inexpensive components. At the heart of the system is a 12" sub woofer from Velodyne I have a Pioneer VSX-1017TXV-K, A/V amp along with Polk Audio and KEF Speakers. A Dayton APA 150 power amplifier and two Aura bass shakers

I have a second rig from Sim-Seats, it is rather bare at the moment but we use it for the Forza series.

General Discussions / Nothing working

« on: December 10, 2011, 10:00:37 pm »

Connected rev burner to my Auto meter 6858 tach and opened the SimDash, it told me I needed to update to version 2. I made a jumper cable and with the bootloade installed version 2. Then proceeded to config tach in the confiq screen, nothing worked in their. Then I tried connecting my GI Max, in the SimDash it showed it was not connected and I required another firmware, found that one and installed it via the bootloader. So now in the SimDash it shows the GI Max as connected but no light comes on. In the SimDash now it shows the rev burner disconnected. Is there any way to get the two to work? Nothing but total frustration at this point. Thanks for any help you can offer.
