"PING!!!!"
LOL
Although the weather forecast for the week predicted rain every day except one this week... It has been beautiful nearly every day. Outdoor, spring projects have therefore been consuming a majority of my time. I was able to get down there yesterday despite the sun shining and get the majority of assembly complete.
I do not yet have the keyboard or mouse tray installed and the keyboards these PCs came with are wired so will need to shop around for a wireless replacement.
I also did not do ANY wire management yet so no comments on the wiring... I ran the network lines up to the router in the den. As I was finishing the new electrical run, I realized I didn't have the breaker to install in the box, so I will need to grab that today.
Late last night I was powering up the first rig for the first time. These PC's are massive!!! 10.75 inches wide... which is EXACTLY how wide the shelves are...
Pedal install was extremely time consuming and placement on the pedal plate was with no particular spacing. I figure the gas and brake will possibly need to go closer together, but they are on there for now.
The brake has far less travel than I expected out the of the box but realized there are several adjustment and parts that came with it to adjust if necessary.
Did not download anything from my previous PC and just went with a clean install. Going to try to keep the amount of crap on these PCs limited.
Need to find something to download to try these out. I have read that Assetto Corsa may be a good place to start.
Both my daughters (recent college graduate and High Schooler) are familiar with multiple screen use, but I have no experience. I have to dig around in the setting a bit to figure it out. Thankfully, before powering up the PC for the first time, I had everything hooked up, so the PC recognized everything correctly. I have yet to power up the wheelbase.
Sun is shining again... (#%$#$) so progress may be delayed again...
I have a concrete leveling company coming today as well to do their magic on my driveway so that will be a bit of a distraction as well.
P.S. May have to go back and install some type of mat under the rigs as I notice they slide on the floor fairly easily when you are getting in/out of the rig. That will wait until I am better set up.
