Now that's a man who takes his truck simulatin' serious!
Crazy nice setup!
That has to be one of the best driving set ups I have ever seen, awesome.
Thanks.
Nothing more dangerous than an overworked truck driver, half-awake.... about 15 yarns in this video. Glad you made it to the destination only one bump against that guardrail, lol. Great video... enjoyed it!
Who gives a shit where he is shifting? Why insult the guy? This is all for fun and he has done a fantastic job with his clusters, very awesome. So many dipshit rude people on UA-cam. Step away from the keyboard.
This is the most awesome stuff ive seen around
Fabricio Teidy Thanks
Avenga76 Can i ask u...
Are those real gauges and how do u make them work with pc?
is there any adapter to conect them to pc and a program on pc to recognize them or something??
If its not asking too much....sry
Fabricio Teidy Yes, they are real gauges. They are standard aftermarket gauges that I brought from my local car parts store.
They are controlled by a Symprojects Pro-gauge and Rev-burner.
www.symprojects.com/shop/pro-gauge/
Avenga76 Nice setup!! Did you need to mess with capacitors and the signal conditioners to make your gauges work with the pro gauge board? I'd like to do something like you've got gauge wise but don't want have to deal with soldering a lot of stuff.
synaptik111 No, they just worked straight away.
You don't need to do any soldering. The pro gauge just has some screw down terminal blocks, you just pop the wires in those then away you go.
Just have to make sure you get the right sort of gauges. Most tachos and speedos are fine because they both work off pulses but the pressures and temperatures can be a bit harder. You need to make sure that the sender for the gauge is either 1 or 2 wires. The 3 wire senders won't work because they require a 5V reference feed to them. Also make sure the at a low enough resistance. I think anything below 500 Ohms is fine. I think mine are all about 0-250 Ohms.
I am not sure what the limit in Ohms is but that is when you start needed the signal adapter (I am pretty sure it just drops the Ohms, never had to use one)
That is a very good set up. I am I awe at those gauges !
love the gauge cluster! im reinstalling eurotruck 2 right now so i can go on a drive before bed . thanks for the upload
Thanks. Euro Truck has really good support for gauges, everything except my fuel pressure gauge works.
Really nice man! You just won the gaming setup of the year!:)
Thanks
bonjour, peux tu me dire quelle logicielle t'utilise pour RaceTech 95mm Electronic Speedometer ? pour la programmation
Merci
Holy S**t dude that setup is amazing!! It must have cost a fortune
Thanks. Yes, it wasn't cheap but it is worth it.
Great cockpit. I'm looking for truck sim shifter lever with 2 toggles for range, just like the real thing has. Logitech G27's shifter does not quite cut it. Any suggestions?
I have switched to a Fanatec Clubsport shifter now which you can adjust the tension on it to make it clunky like a truck but it has no buttons. One of my friend sent me this awesome video of a guy who made a dual stick gear shift lever for ets2. ETS2 DIY Cockpit Double H shifter inkl. V8 sound & TSM map TrackIR
Turbo nerd 10/10 setup would play again
sorry where did you buy this speedometer?
Symprojects Pro-gauge and Rev Burner running 8 Autogauge gauges
Awesome wish I had something like this lol.best driving kit I seen!!
Great looking set up, must be amazing on racing simulator.
Yes, it is awesome for racing simulators. Check out some of my other videos for some rally and Formula 3 racing. I use a hydraulic handbrake and sequential shifter for rally games.
How did you setup the H-Shifter? This has only 6 gears +N +R. What about over 6. Gear? trackIR is cool. what is your setup for this? I had to change the Euro Truck Simulator Profile a bit, but i don't feel it perfect, yet :) .
I have my gearbox setup as a Splitter tansmission. You can set it up in the controls section of the game.
It used a button which toggles between odd-numbered gears (1,3,5,7,9,11) and even-numbered (2,4,6,8,10,12) gears.
You can also use range mode which uses a button to toggle between gear set 1-6 and gear set 7-12
I have now switched over to a Fanatec Clubsport Shifter SQ which is 7 gears +N +R but Euro Truck only supports 6 gears.
Avenga76
Thx for your answer. I thought to buy the new Fanatec Shifter for my CSW set too.
Chrysx The new Fanatec Clubsport Shifter is really good. I would highly recommend it, it plugs in to the back of the CSW and it is outstanding quality. It is a all metal design and it is built like a tank. The adjustable tension on the gearbox is great, lets you tweak it to just how you like it.
Brilliant setup buddy, nice one!
Thanks
Really cool setup! How long (roughly) did it take you to do all of this?
Thanks. It took me about 3 months to import all the bits in to New Zealand, I did most of the fabrication while I was waiting for parts. The another few weeks of wiring and playing with the electronics to get it all to work,
Very cool set up and video.
Thanks heaps.
That's a class set up well done
when i buy the tach from symprojects, does it come with everything needed to connect it to PC or do i need to buy that separately? if so, which one to buy? thanks a lot for help!
If you just want a rev counter then you will need the gauge plus a Rev-burner.
You will need to wire up the gauge to the Rev-burner but it isn't hard.
Sim Racing Hardware makes a completed products that include the gauge and the Rev-Burner with all the wiring already done of your aren't in to electronics. So it is just plug and play.
simracinghardware.com/product/tach-stand/
That set up is an absolute beast :D
This is awesome! Good work!
Do you know if you can buy similar Controllers like the Symprojects Pro-gauge for the Gauges in NZ?
Hi Nick. I live in New Zealand also. There isn't a NZ supplier for the Pro-gauges so I just ordered them directly from the site.
Shipping wasn't too bad. The Pro-gauge is about $95 NZD and the shipping was about $20.
I am not aware of any other controllers that would do the same. Symprojects has good support for Euro Truck.
I got the gauges from here www.jonvy.co.nz
That is one of the best gaming setup's I have seen that must have taken you weeks to set up
Thanks.
I took me around 3 months to get all the parts imported to New Zealand then another few weeks to do all the electronics and wiring. I am still waiting on a few parts like my GS-4 motion simulator seat.
So is there any manual on the web to make such thing?! Is it possible to use an ordinary instrument panel or do I need fancy pricy glowshift gauges haha?!
Yes, you can use a ordinary instrument cluster as long as the speedometer works off pulses from the ECU. Also the other gauges like temperature need to work off the impedance range that the controller boards support.
The controllers are made by SymProjects and they have some info on their website www.symprojects.com/shop/pro-gauge/
They also have a forum which has quite a few projects which use standard dashboards. I post on that forum regularly. So have a browse through there and checkout so other projects. www.symprojects.com/forum/
My rig was built mostly for racing sims which is why I have all the shift lights and bright gauges so I can see them easily while racing.
Avenga76 Well I'll shall have a look at them indeed, thank you for the feedback.
Using arduino? 12 or 24 volts? How did you wire everything?
This is just mental now, I think you need to have help :D
Joking amazing
dude u got one badass set up, i'm really jealous and i want it lol
Can use any electronic cluster or do those have to be that ones in specific??
Hi Friend, This is Very Beautiful
This gauges works with Eurotruck Multiplayer ? Rev Buner or Pro-Gauges works with any car Gauges ?
Thanks
Hi. With the multiplayer, the creators of the multiplayer disabled the Advanced SDK so none of my gauges, dashboard or motion will work.
The Rev-burner and Pro-gauge will work with most car gauges. With the speedo, check that it runs off the ECU and isn't an old mechanical cable operated speedo. Some modern pressure gauges use a different method so check what the pressure sender looks like. If the pressure sender only has one or two wires then it should be fine. If it has three wires then it probably won't work.
Avenga76 Thank you
Very nice setup.
What's up with the racing gloves?
It's indoors, that's a sim, and truck drivers don't really use those things. ;-)
Amazing setup! Just wondering, how do you move your camera angle without a mouse?
I am using a TrackIR head tracking system. It has an infrared camera that sits on top of my monitor and I wear a hat that has reflectors on it so the camera can track my head movement and translate the back in to the game.
On triple monitors it feels really natural because the camera in the game moves exactly with my head movements so if I want to look left then I just turn my head to the left just like I would in real life. It adds heaps to the immersion factor.
Hello. Do you know if it is possible to use a boost gauge on ETS2? Thanks.
Where can I buy a Gauge like that? Did you buy that or make that for yourself?
Are the gloves incase the wheel sets alight or are they oven mits?
Wish I knew how to do all of that! Good job!
He didn't do any of it, just bought a kit online.. Now if only he would learn how to shift he would be off to the races.
I wouldn't really call it a kit, the only thing I ordered online was the 2 PCB's. As I said in the description and other comments, I am using a Symprojects Pro-gauge and a Rev Burner PCB controller board, my gauges are from my local autoshop. There is a a lot of soldering and wiring involved as well as a lot of welding involved in making the brackets. I never claimed to have invented this or anything and I have clearly listed all the hardware and controllers I have used. I just want to show people what you are capable of doing in Euro Truck with the hardware available.
subbed,awesome set up
Also where is your camera for the motion tracking?
How did you hook that up to make it all work and where did you buy it thanks
I was thinking, why dafuq would someone play something as boring as truck simulator, but then I realised I'm watching someone else play truck simulator which is even worse...
especially online...
+ThyerHazard haha no i mean in the companies but then again that's why the admisn are for and that's why i am admin too ;)
+ThyerHazard You do know I was only demonstrating how the gauges work don't you?
I am sorry I offended so AI drivers while trying to show how the gauges respond to your truck.
+ThyerHazard Sorry, I thought you were hassling me for stopping on the highway at 2:11
nice set up
Cool gauges nice set up
awesome set up, where can i get one and for how much?(euro please)
Is the DSD button controller working in this game?
very good man!
Missing the beer holder!!, Sub'd anyways
How much does this cost? Anyway nice set :-)
Thanks. The cost depends on your budget. You could build a cluster pretty cheaply. All you need is some gauges and the controller boards from www.symprojects.com/shop/category/pro-gauge
The Pro-Gauge which will run Speedometer, RPM and 5 gauges is only £50. I also use a Rev Burner which is only £30. You then need a set of gauges. Most gauges for cars should work (except for ones with a 3 wire senders). My gauges were quite expensive but you could get some cheap gauges or even use a second hand cluster out of a car or a truck.
It does take a fair bit of electronics skill because you have to wire up all the gauges to the controller and I have a switch to turn all the gauges on and off. So it might not be for everyone but it is a fun DIY project
The other option which might be cheaper and easier is use something like my Siminstruments dash I featured in one of my other video. That is just straight plug and play.
taking it to the next level lol
Wow I wonder how much a setup like this costs?
And just an idea you should do a video where you wear a Go-Pro on your head and play this game while recording with the Go-Pro.
or you can connect a real car counter the Pro-Gauges controller ???
and if u don't mind me asking how much was all of it?
Your gear is amazing, serious props for the set up you have.
But ohh my lord, please take an actual driving lesson. Indicator Jones.
How'd you get the camera angle so that the gauges didn't show?
You can edit the camera files to make a mod that will change your field of view. I might make a tutorial about it some day. I run 40 degrees horizontal FOV.
Ohh, alright.
What steering wheel would you recommend?
Best bang for your buck is a Logitech G27
But it depends on your budget. I used to use a Logitech G27 and that is a great entry level wheel. If you want quality then you can't go past the Fanatec Club Sport wheel I use now.
I plugged in my old G27 the other day to play Colin McRae Rally 2 and the difference is night and day. The G27 is gear driven so it feels really notchy and the Fanatec is belt driven so it is super smooth.
But the Fanatec is over 4 times as much as the G27 if you get both the the BMW and Formula rims. They also don't come with pedals or a shifter so by the time you add those it would be about 6 times more expensive than the G27.
Wow, das nenne ich mal heftig!!!
Wow i really want that but it so expensive so it could be awesome to try this
kako spojiti brojčanike na računalo i postavite?
I'm guessing this setup wasn't entirely for EuroTruck....I'm guessing the need for oil pressure and water temps you do sims like IRacing
Yes, you are correct, while Euro Truck does support oil pressures and temps they are more important in the racing sims I play. I mostly play sims like Game Stock Car, rFactor1&2, Assetto Corsa and the dirt series of games. I haven't started iRacing yet but I do plan to start racing there soon. I have some racing videos in my channel if you want check out the setup in a race.
but... why the gloves tho? are they really that necessary? xD
I don't know where to buy these things. Could you tell me please
Very cool setup
Thanks.
I am using a Symprojects Pro-Gauge and Rev Burner to run the gauges. You can order them here www.symprojects.com/shop/category/pro-gauge
You can run pretty much any car or truck gauge or dashboard with the Symprojects boards. I am using AutoGauge brand gauges with custom made mounts, they sell similar gauges on the Symprojects site but you need to mount them yourself.
Simracing Hardware sell fully made up complete gauge clusters including the controller and pre-wired. simracinghardware.com/product/tach-dash/
There is a fair bit of wiring and electronics involved if you plan on building your own cluster so it isn't for the faint of heart.
Avenga76 you set much cost a fortune
Man, can single gtx 680 handle all that on a three screen setup? I don't know what I'd do without my SLI setup...
The single GTX 680 runs great on triple monitors. I get over 60fps on pretty much any game. On old games like rFactor I get a few hundred fps. I am thinking of upgrading to a single GTX 780 Ti at some point but my 680 is coping fine. I also run a 4th monitor off my GTX 680.
Damn, well perhaps I play more demanding such as bf4 on a 144hz monitor. It may have made me abit greedy ;)
But its good to know that a 680 runs good on a triple screen setup. Is it a 4gb or 2gb version?
And I'd say you should go for a r9 290 crossfire setup, more bang for buck compared to a 780ti if you have a strong psu. May complicate in some games but it usually don't.
Ser Jaime Lannister I only have 60hz monitors so 60fps is fine for me. I wouldn't be able to get 144fps in bf4.
It is only the 2gb version, I would rather stick with Nvidia. I like Nvidia Surround better than Eyefinity.
Where can I buy the full gauge cluster ?
Trying to figure out why your shifter is on the left....
Get Trucked I live in New Zealand and we drive on the left hand side of the road, our cars and trucks are right hand drive so our shifter are on the left.
In the 60mm gauge hall how did you put 52mm fuel gauge?
+조재혁 I cut an adapter bracket on a waterjet cutter.
Basically it is just an aluminium ring that you can see sitting behind the gauge.
You can buy adapters for them like this conceptzperformance.com/ati-conversion-adapter-rings-60mm-to-52mm-5260-conv_p_7695.php but I figured it was easier and cheaper to just make my own.
+Avenga76 Thank you your reply.I am more one question.Try to use symprojects progauge.Speed, rpm, fual level of me succeeded.However, do not know fuel pressure, oil pressure, oil temp, water temp's connection way.Maybe, can I inform me?
+조재혁 What game are your using to test it? Not all games support pressure and temperature.
Here is a list of what gauges are working in each game. www.symprojects.com/go/simdata
If you go in to each of the gauges you need to set the correct value for 0-25-50-75-100% on each gauge. As long as you have that right and the game supports those gauges then it should work.
+Avenga76 I know , I knowI do not know method that connect fuel pressure, oil pressure, oil temp, water temp to progauge
+조재혁 Do they use a 2 wire sender? the 3 wire ones won't work.
The 2 wire gauges have a signal and a ground wire, connect all the grounds up to the ground connector on the Pro-gauge then the signal wire up to one of the ports S1-6
The 2 wire gauges work of Ohms and they will return a value of say 40-160 Ohms.
The 3 wire ones work totally different and they require a +5V reference feed then return a value between 0-5V. The Progauge can't provide this +5V feed and it measures resistance not Volts so 3 wire gauges won't work.
And, I'm assuming every single gauge will synchronize with the game?
In Euro Truck Simulator 2 every gauge except the fuel pressure gauge is synchronized with the game. It uses a plugin to read the new telemetry data from the game and a Symprojects controller card to run the gauges. Other games support all of the gauges but ETS2 doesn't output fuel pressure data.
Avenga76 Yeah, I did the stupid thing and went researching after I posted that. Even found some of your forum posts when you were building this assembly.
The one bad thing I did find, though, at least to me, is that the game doesn't allow for output of indicators, such as turn signals and high beams. I was really hoping to get a gauge cluster from a vehicle and use it, but it seems that I won't be able to make all the indicators work.
Oh well.
***** Euro Truck does allow the output of indicators etc. I have them running in one of my other video. Siminstrument Dash with Fanaleds in Euro Truck Simulator 2 I have all my indicators, turn signals, high beams and park warning lights running on Siminstruments dash using FanaLEDs. this supports turn signals and all the other warning lights. You could rewire one of these dashs to run your warning lights.
Unfortunately the software which runs the Symprojects board doesn't support warning lights for Euro Truck, the game does output the warning light data so they should be able to add that support. Maybe if you ask on the forum then they could add the warning light support that way you could use a Symprojects DLC-247 to run the warning lights www.symprojects.com/shop/dlc-247/ it supports up to 192 LED lights so just replace the standard warning lights in your truck dash with LEDs and get the DLC-247 to control them.
Avenga76 So, basically...it does do it, just not with that software, got it.
I take it you can't get something like that DLC-247 from Siminstruments, though, huh?
***** Unfortunately Siminstruments only make the pre-made dash. You could email Brendan from Siminstruments and see if he could sell you just the board, then you could solder on your own LEDs. I would say your best bet would be to jump on the Symprojects forum and ask Cristiano to add those features to the software. it shouldn't be too had since Fanaleds can read the data. The DLC-247 would be perfect because it has headers so you can just plug in the LEDs.
Hello. You used the Revburner with which gauge?
Hi.
The Revburner is running the small tachometer on the left hand side cluster (The first cluster you see in the video) The Pro-Gauge is running everything else.
The brand of the gauges are Autogauge.
Can you ever make a video as you connect the whole And where can the man buy the car gauges
DaSquirrelNuts
wouldn't it be easier, better and cheaper to just get main peripherals and oculus rift?
I will probably get an Oculus Rift when CV1 comes out. I am just rebuilding my rig with motion so it will go really well with the Oculus.
how can I buy these guage clusters?
Tell me please references to devices and connect to a computer circuit
he has a bmw steering wheel with a logitech g27 H-shifter -_-
Real nice
Thanks
So... whats the approximate amount of this whole setup ;D
My whole rig is pretty expensive because there is a lot that you can't see in the video, like my GS-4 motion simulator seat and all my transducers. but for the gauge setup, it depends on how many gauges you want and what kind of gauges you want to use, because they range in price a lot. My gauges were quite pricey so it would have cost me about $1,000USD, but you could do it for a lot cheaper using different gauges and less of them. You could make a nice 4 gauge cluster for around $300-400USD.
why are you wearing gloves when you drive?
Can you tell me where you got those Gauges from?
Hi Bob.
They are AutoGauge brand gauges. I live in New Zealand so I got them from a local auto parts shop. They are rebranded as Racetech in the States or Depo in the UK. You can find them on Ebay buy searching for either of those depending on the country.
The model I am using is the 60mm Smoke Stepper motor gauges for the small ones and 115mm Smoke Steppers for the large gauges.
I am controlling them with a Symprojects Pro-Gauge and a Rev Burner. Both of them are available from their website www.symprojects.com/shop/category/pro-gauge They also sell compatible gauges on that site.
Avenga76 Ok thanks
Where do you get those gauges?
Really impressive, must have taken some effort to set all that up.
How! Tell me How I can do a working gauges!
how much money you recon you spent
Are those real like you could use that in your car?
Yes, they are standard aftermarket car gauges.
I run them through a Symprojects Pro-Gauge and a Rev-burner which sends the same signals that a normal car would so you can use standard car gauges.
The software then gets all the telemetry data from Euro Truck Simulator and outputs through the Symprojects boards and to my gauges.
In my other video I have setup an additional digital dashboard which shows pretty much every warning light and engine stat you can think of.
were can i get something like this
Some people just have way to much money to spend lol. Pretty cool though.
Thanks
Just like GTA but without the sex, violence and fun
DO you make those to sell?
where they buy?
cool dude
how you did that?
Is this game only for p.c?
Yes, It is only available on the PC. There is a Windows version and a Linux version. They are working on a Mac version but I don't know when it is coming out.
why you have 2 Rpm?
I envy you.. i want this :D
Thanks
It's Arduino?
top
Damn... for this much effort I would just get a CDL and earn some money while I was driving LOL
Needs a pitch, roll and yawn gauge.
Hello, I am looking some one who can edit the control.sii file. And i don't mind paying to have it done
omg he is wearing gloves wtf xD youre not playing assetto corsa mate....
viciooooooooooooooooo!!!
I want to buy. how do I do? I live in Brazil.
The gauge controllers are from Symprojects.com and the gauges are from a local auto parts store.
Thank you.
