How has mounting that steering wheel affected the feedback on the G27? I've been considering swapping the wheel to an actual truck wheel on mine and I'd appreciate if you told me the pros and cons of having that wheel mounted. I'm also interested in mounting a shifter similar to what you have, but I'd use an MAN TGA shifter as the range and splitter are electronically controlled. Any help or technical assistance would be much appreciated if you're willing to share some of your knowledge with us J.O

Nobody said this was an eyesore. Just because you dont get the responses your digging for doesnt mean its not noticed. I like what your doing here. Just do it at your pace.

You can always carry the project on in your spare time rather than trying to make a business of it straight away. Always wait til you finish your first build and see what you can improve visually and efficiency wise, then consider turning it into a business. At least you can have more fun when you're playing ATS/ETS with that beast.

Yeah don't get discouraged. This would be a hard product to sell even for the most popular game genres. Plus, you're just showing off your work here. This place isn't that big. I've released mods before that didn't get enough atttention as this and those were free, so... lol
Especially if you use twitch without announcing a few days prior.

If I were you, i'd work on perfecting a prototype before you try to market it or start a business. Once you've got it, maybe approach SCS or Saitek about it and see if they'd be interested in it to try and market, since their brands carry more weight. Also, if you're going to video it, probably best to get a better camera because those webcams are just so low quality that you can't see what you're doing, and it'd be a good idea to use only one camera and switch the screen back and forth for when you want to record your desktop that way you get the full view of what's going on in the camera feed. In addition, if you can get your hands on one, a 335 dash would be perfect for this, and maybe finding a 16" wheel so it's not as big. But a pete 355 dash cut off at the edge of the panel where it turns into a glovebox would work nicely, for a personal sim that is, i'd just stick to perfecting the shifter at the moment, because it looks good, just figure out a way to run the wires through the shift lever and be even better if you could make it plug in via USB as an additional controller, that way it could be used in unison with the g27.
