Edit forgot to list how much I spent. 

My streaming game rig. 

Not the best pic, also I now have 3 identical screens for triple monitor playing. 3 22 inches. 

momo wheel add on £10, mic £100 screens second hand £60, Shifter £50(secondhand) Side panel £50. Logitech wheel 150£ new but have had since 2017. GoPro not pictured, £160 but came with everything, tripods, head cam, SD card.

For what £580 spent, it ain’t to bad, it’s not the best gaming rig, but seriously triple screens change everything , and it’s so more realistic and easier to drive and reverse in cab view. And it so much easier than moving the mouse or thumb stick to look around.. And looking for oncoming traffic is awesome. 

Also the wheel I modified to a quick release. My cheap setup, and I’m proud of it tbh

PC - intel i9 , 32gbs ram. Nvidia RTX 2080. 1TB hard drive. 

I could have saved more money. But some people’s rigs costs more than 1k and it goes to show you don’t have to spend a ton to have the immersive feeling to gaming. And the gopros a head cam for YouTube streams, so people can see the monitors in action. 


Thoughts everyone? Did I over spend? Good setup and specs? 

Finally the edit worked...

Quick release function added to the G29, can have any wheel of my choice, just some minor wiring to do. Yes it was a 3d plastic creation

What ive been up to lately...
All the images below in a spoiler i feel its appropriate.....

So started off repairing 4 chainsaws, which when i was doing tip runs to the dump they were all sat outside the skip leaking fuel or either leaking bar oil. The best find for me personally was the
Husqvarna 130, what a saw, the issue was the fuel cap and oil cap needed replacing, and it was extremely flooded.... The Sheppach gardenline is a 41cc, it needed a new carb, adjusted it, its really lightweight, i use it for limbing, it also needed new fuel lines which were a pain in the ass. The other 2 saws which remind of stihls are called Neilsens, there both 56cc they are Chinese i reckon but was tolled there a British company, but they've rebranded as job site, both saws had hairline cracks in the oil tanks, so they leaked like mad, both flooded with water, couldn't believe the amount, honestly i thought they'd never run, it took a while to dry em out and get em all sorted, i feel the previous owner abused them didn't have a clue and bought a second, the guy at the dump said this guy dropped them both off, nuts.. Fixed them up, took a month and they actually run really well, im more than shocked to be fair, so all 4 chainsaws free is a massive win for me im sure i can grab a hefty profit, the husky is probably staying with me, i reckon it needs a new bar though.
The other pictures I've been really busy taking down trees which were overhanging onto the highway so was tolled to remove them or be charged a fee, got in a tractor bucket and let rip with the huski, no safety line or anything, looking back it was rather stupid, then limbed them all with the Neilsens, I did 15 trees in total with the nelsons so not finished by anymeans, but the 2 saws didn't miss a beat, like butter, and the oregan bar i brought was a cherry on top, they ran for ages, good on fuel and they never acted up or refused to start. But the husky which is a 40cc performed a lot better if im honest, its a shame the bar is so small.... I also put the logs in the shed for winter, been pretty hectic. Grabbed myself a shelve unit for my axes and oils and i also brought a leaf blower for £30, down from £130 in my local dealer, which was flogging stock for a shop upgrade. He's been trying to buy my husqvarna lt100 for years, and he tried to sell me an electric mower which offended me and actually pissed me right off so i haven't been back since....

The last thing was this strimmer, I still can't get it to run with it dying while trying to let it idle, i replaced the carb, the switches, exhaust, all the wiring, spark plug, cleaned her all out, fiddled with the carb adjustment, it runs a lot better, before it ran like it was on choke, it cuts well but you gotta keep your hand on that throttle, if you don't it turns off, ive tried everything, im really getting a pissed with it. But ya that's what ive been up to been hectic, this is all since january this year, ive only just recovered after operations and sick health, so hoping i haven't overdone it. Im deffo feeling it

SPOILER: Click to show

Hand log splitter, it really is kinder on the back than my axe set.



The 4 amigos saved

Still a work in progress.


Shed before

Shed after lmao


Got the saw stuck like a rookie, had to car jack it up in the end.


this pic reminds me of fs game lol

New fuel filter, cleaned the whole engine bay out, new starter, solenoid, fuel lines, pretty much new everything.


Still runs, engine is vibrating though and backfiring...

Darrell Mods are allowed but so many workshop modded trucks have wrong credits

Darrell , I do not use any truck mods.

If you are like me, and want to discover map state by state or country by country; zoom the map as close as it can,and drive/discover all things as close to cities as possible,and return to city in county/state you were in.

Example; i started in Tirana and Italy was 99% discovered and saw the ports of Bari and Ancona undiscovered,so i crossed to Italy. Then returned to Durres.

Same principle applies to ATS

[oggich]

Just my 2 cents on ETS2/ATS future implementations;

in 18WOS series we had an option to connect a specific trailer to specific truck and drive that combo when we wanted.

Please SCS,bring that option back

Got a response on Lonewolf forum

Not exactly. I got it setup like following - Pete 389 with a low bed trailer located in NYC in second garage,and my daily driver at time was also a 389 with a curtainsider. and i would switch between two. We have that principle to a degree now with the truck/trailer quick travel. I am saying scs should merge them together. Add the truck/trailer combinations to the quick travel/garage travel method
