This is with everything hooked up and running. I have the seat slid all the way forward. The seat has enough clearance to slide past the TH8A shifter mounted this way. I use this mounting pattern for the shifter in order to use all 7 gears plus reverse without running into the handbrake. Since I don't use the handbrake that often while driving it took priority to make the use of the shifter as easy as possible. The handbrake is a still a reach though.

There is enough room left on the mounting platform for me to place the Xbox One controller there. The controller has to be hooked up to the drive hub in order for the Xbox Console to recognize it. This allows the TH8A shifter to be used along with the Fanatec gear. The drive hub is on the floor to the right with the green and red lights. In order to use the Wheelbase you have to have it set to PC mode when attached to the drive hub.

In this picture I have the Fanatec F1 Clubsport V2 Steering Wheel attached to the Fanatec V2.5 wheelbase I love this steering wheel. It feels so amazing and has so many customization's that you can do with it! The mechanical feedback of the paddle shifting is pure exhilaration. This is high end hardware. The quick disconnect feature is so cool!

The gloves are actually racquetball gloves by HEAD. They are called Ballistic Copper Tech Gloves. Due to how abrasive the Alcantara leather is on the Fanatec steering wheels I have found that you need to wear gloves. These gloves are awesome! They keep your hands cool, and stop sweating while mapping to your hand perfectly. I can still feel the buttons and joystick through the leather. The leather is where it needs to be to protect your hands and the rest is a mesh system that actually has layered synthetic grip compound on top of it. So the white areas are actually grippy material and in between the mesh allows your hands to breathe. So if your rotating the steering wheel 360 degrees going across the back of your hand you don't have to worry about losing grip.

Next to the gloves is the mixamp for the Astro A40's.

If you are wondering what the white and black arms are for, you will see in the future!

I am using the Fanatec V3 inverted pedals which allow you to use the clutch and brake pretty much exactly how you would use it in a car. You can even adjust the position of the pedal plates including the angle, as well as switch plates if that is your thing. I don't like the raised platform that is aligned with the gas pedal. All of this should actually be the same level. It does get in the way of using the gas the way I normally would. The pedal platform can be slid toward or away from you. The angle can also be adjusted since the pedals mount directly to this Track Racer TR8 platform.

The spring tension can be adjusted by replacing the springs on the brake and clutch. The gas and brake pedals have rumble functionality. You can get the addition of dampeners for the gas and brake to increase the resistance. Those have the silver k***s at the end. The brake can have extra resistance by replacing the material within it or by using the k**b on it to increase or decrease resistance.

I love the adjustability of these pedals, and the chrome on black looks tough!

This is the racing rig with the Fanatec CSL Elite Xbox steering wheel attached to it, setup for driving right handed with the Fanatec shifter. I switch this positions around for the shifter and the handbrake, and as such the mounting plate itself I flip around, in order do drifting comfortably. Otherwise I would have to extend my arm too far. With the shifter in slap shift mode. I had to put in different drill patterns for the mounting plate, to mount it so that it would fit the way I wanted. The CSL Elite is much more comfortable and much more realistic to drive than the Logitech G29, which felt very plastic and cheap, as well as way too small. Like a complete toy for kids. Not worth the money to me.

For the CSL Elite it uses Alcantara leather which is really rough on your hands but grips really well. So you want to wear gloves with them that keep sweat down and have good grip. I use racquetball gloves from HEAD called Ballistic Copper Tech Gloves. They are infused with copper. These gloves are awesome! They keep your hands cool, and stop sweating while mapping to your hand perfectly. I can still feel the buttons and joystick through the leather. The leather is where it needs to be to protect your hands and the rest is a mesh system that actually has layered synthetic grip compound on top of it. So the white areas are actually grippy material and in between the mesh allows your hands to breathe. So if your rotating the steering wheel 360 degrees going across the back of your hand you don't have to worry about losing grip.

This is the initial basic driving/racing setup with Fanatec components mounted onto the Trak Racer TR8 platform. The shifters can be mounted ambidextrously. The PRP seat I acquired in my quest to find a seat that would feel comfortable to be in for extended periods of time while giving you the feeling of being in the cockpit of both a car and a plane. Most real race seats are too narrow and uncomfortable. The Alpha Composite is way better!

I found that the seat brackets and seat were to low and unaccommodating so I had to find the OMP mounting brackets and have those slotted out to fit the seat slider. So those are real mounting brackets and a real race seat in order to get the height and comfort I was going for to feel like I'm in a real car. The steering column platform can be angled and slid toward or away from you and the pedal platform can do the same thing.

Fanatec gear is comprised of Fanatec CSL Elite Xbox steering wheel attached to a Fanatec V2.5 wheelbase. Utilizing the Fanatec Clubsport Inverted V3 pedals. There is a Fanatec Clubsport V1.5 Handbrake and a Fanatec Clubsport Shifter SQ V1.5. The wheelbase really feels good, and gives great feedback and pull. I love that you can fine tune adjustments of force feedback and such through the steering wheel menu at anytime to get it to feel right to you! It looks really cool too!

I wanted something that wouldn't take up too much room or be to heavy to move about easily while being able to handle both driving and flying setup with some future proofing for additions that I would like to make. Such as if I wanted to switch to a direct drive wheel, this platform is strong enough to withstand the movement generated by the direct drive wheel.

Nlitend Theory amped up, epic driving and shooting showcase in multiplayer gameplay on Xbox Live in 2020.

Nlitend Theory here, with a gaming showcase trailer compilation of some awesome moments courtesy of playing Xbox Live on Xbox One X! This compilation is comprised of The Crew 2 and Black Ops 4. Featuring my sim rig in some of The Crew 2 shots with picture in picture gameplay. For those shots in The Crew 2 where you don't see me driving the simulation racing rig, I am still actually driving I just wasn't capturing footage of me driving it except for the drift at the end. I was driving a McLaren 12C drift edition (black car at the end with gold dust), as well as a McLaren 12C GT3 (orange hood). The final vehicle was the Mercedes SLS AMG C197 which was the green hood. It was the one that I used to do the jump onto the highway overpass, though you can't see it in this clip. The rig allows you to experience almost having the control of driving on the actual street. Youngledgen was on the motorcycle in Dakota Black Hills. We later head to St. Louis and Chicago for an insane ride! For the group shots, most were from my group antics video, which is a 2 part series. Where a group of us are in the California mountains. Tydrifter2008 did an amazing job flying his plane and helicopter and getting himself close enough to get in my cars view. Dude was flying upside down right next to the ground repeatedly in a plane, OMG! Dallyingbird95 was doing some epic drifts! This was just from part 2.
