UoA FSAE Simulator demo

The University of Auckland Formula SAE team decided to turn their 2007 car - which no longer ran, into a basic simulator. Uses an extensively modified Logitech G25 - the wheel was replaced with one of original steering wheel for the car, the brake and accelerator pedals have been mounted on a sliding tray, and the clutch pedal is cable actuated using the vehicle's original clutch lever.

Hey, are these still around?

@KWAKNZ - I haven't been in the team for a couple of years now, so I've kinda lost touch with the exact status - I know they had been having difficulties with failures of the computer components (using quite an old computer + it has a bit of a hard life) so while the simulator is still intact, I'm not sure whether it's functioning at present

It's done in Live for Speed, we just used the autocross carpark and set out the track based on in-car video footage and sketches we took of the track.

That is friggin awesome! Great job.

By what method did you get the surface map of the track? What software is the car simulator?
