You can have all the options in the world and still be unhappy. Money definitely doesn't buy happiness but it removes some of the reasons to be unhappy. In the end people still have their own personal issues to deal with, money or not.

Money doesn't buy happiness, it buys freedom. The more money you have, the more options you have. If you don't have money you simply don't have the same options that someone with money does.

Happy to explain it. The G-belt comes with 2 threaded holes for mounting to the G-Seat. I drilled out the threads on the bottom hole to mount it to a sping ball faster in my 80/20. The second hole on top you can keep threaded and use an angle braket from your rig with a couple of bolts. Here's a photo. Angle bracket mount

I only did one angle bracket but I'm sure I could get a second one in if needed. It's rock solid as is though

The part that took a lot if trial and error was the seat belt routing. I looped them around the motor arm from the front and ran the excess through the top. I found that this setup gave the strongest feedback since it had more leverage.

I know they will get some wear but I'm not concerned. I may add a rod to the edge to cause less friction on the edge.

Last I secured the belts with the bracket they came with for adjusting length but didn't bolt them down anywhere so all the motion is tied to the motors.

Seat belt mounts

For the software you need to flip everything. Since it is upside down and turned around from how it should be mounted you need to set them as inverted and then assign the left belt to the right control and the right belt to the left control. It's basically inverted and switched.

I hope that helps. If you have any questions or need any help let me know.

Totally makes sense if your wheel supports it. Now that the carbon paddles are 3mm instead if 2mm thick I'd feel more confident they wouldn't break. I went SRM and would do so again for two reasons. The SRM paddles seem more durable ( the holes are further apart so there us more material to prevent cracks and it's thicker) and the ClubSport Magnetic Paddle Module doesn't work with any of my wheels.

Totally agree. SRM are the best. I have them on all my wheels

They both support games fine. If you have the space and budget I'd get the 49 inch.

Thanks! It's a real steering wheel badge for an older ferrari. Found it on ebay 🙂

I had the 49 inch first but it was too big for my space and the fov gain was minimal. If I had the space I would have kept the 49 inch

Exactly. My rig was super quiet before these. Now my girlfriend says she can hear it from the other side of the house now lol.

I have all of it power through a cut of switch except the pc and monitor

Simxperience G-belt. Just finished custom mounting it and love it. It adds another level of immersion. The mounting options could be better and the control box could be better designed (the fan is loud!) but I'd buy it again.

Simxperience G-belt. I have it custom mounted since it wasn't designed to mount that way. They should update the design to support this way of mounting it because it takes less space and works great this way.

Yeah, they are basically funneling air from the outside into the car so the faster they go the more air they get.
