That Dirt 3 performance improvement though...
Game Upstream ntsync improvement
Dirt 3 110.6 860.7 678%
Might have to go dust off that game just to experience the speed

wow... I hadn't thought of that until you mentioned it but a trackpoint in thumb's reach on a steamdeck-like device is a great idea. And good marketing continuity for Lenovo
In addition to everything everyone else has said, the launch option: PROTON_LOG=1 %command% (from the wiki). It will create a steam-<gameid>.log in your homedir which can have lots of good wine/proton specific information in it.
You can also rename the user-settings.sample.py file in a given proton version in $HOME/.steam/root/steamapps/common/Proton - <version>/ to user-settings.py and uncomment the additional wine debugging options (PROTON_LOG is already set in this file, but it is not active until it's renamed or passed directly on the Launch Options line).
Someone posted this https://webvm.io/alpine.html in another community and it made me think of this post. I've never used webvm and I suspect there are many downsides but seemed relevant and the demo seems to be able to run a full desktop environment. You have to find a CAD software that supports Linux though which is a controversial topic at best.
There is also Cascade Studio (Demo). Sadly development has stalled, it was a really cool project.
Probably not at all what OP is looking for though since TinkerCAD is just sketch/primitive type workflow, not like openscad.
Interesting, I'm having trouble understanding where the 5 axes are on that? I thought there were only 2, the Y axis and (maybe??) the RZ (rotational) axis. Are you counting the knobs or is there some other way to move it? In the video I only see you move it back and forth, no rotation, but it's kindof dark and partially obstructed so it's hard to tell.
Also thanks for the tip in your video about antimicrox, that IS very cool software!
Looks good! How many analog axes (proportional axes) does the Cougar have in your configuration?
Yeah I think it probably is. Streaming output from it causes the infrared LED to flash rapidly and the image isn't coming from the main lens, it's the smaller lens right next to it.
The really hilarious thing to me is that the NextPush app (unified push provider that can be run on your nextcloud server) is unsupported by nextcloud talk. But it is supported by a bunch of other competing applications.
Yeah.... I'm glad I'm not the only one that doesn't like it that much. I would even go so far as to say that there really aren't any "good" rally games that I've played. There are some that do one or two things well, but none that really stand out and make me say "I really want to play that one".
AC's rally stuff is interesting because it looks great, has very good FFB (if you tune the surfacefx correctly), and it's very flexible, but the content is basically two cars and a handful of maps that are rather lackluster. RBR is the only thing that's really comparable since it's all mods too, it's similar in flexibility but has way more content and the gameplay is OK, but it looks it's age so it's a bit hard for me to get into it after playing something newer.
Got the TM R383 Mod wheel all mounted and everything is working. I'm doing more driving than debugging which is a sign that I think it's near done.
The OpenFFBoard has shift register support so with no modification to the wheel other than a coily cable I was able to get all the buttons working. I designed some adapters to mount to an ebay QR (highly recommend this one called "For Racing Simulator Simagic Moza 70mm Steering Wheel Quick Release+Wheel Base" on ebay) which is rock solid. I was all ready to machine the adapter flanges out of metal but I put the prototypes on to check the fit and they were so rigid there's no point in taking the time to do it. It feels easily just as solid as my real car. Kindof amazing considering the threads are even printed into the PLA, no heatserts or anything.
Feel free to let me know if you want the FreeCAD models, I suspect at least the 70mm wheel side adapter would be compatible with other TM wheels too. I use the RT FreeCAD branch so they won't work in normal FreeCAD unfortunately.
It's running at about 14Nm right now, I don't have a thermister on the motor coils so I'm trying to be a bit conservative however I'm pretty sure 14Nm peak is way way more than I need personally. The motor and supporting hardware should technically support about 22 but I don't think I'll ever push it that hard. 14Nm is scary enough.
cross-posted from: https://infosec.pub/post/3508656 . I made some modifications since the last rig post, thought I'd cross post here too.
I don't have a lot of space where my desk is but wanted a combo space combat and racing rig that was fully rigid except for the seat.
The chair sits in a wheel trough with some 3d printed wheel chalks that fit the wheels exactly so it doesn't really move much at all when braking.
Everything is running on Linux using a lot of SDL and input device spoofing hacks to get it all recognized correctly in games. I mostly play DirtRally2.0, BeamNG, AMS2, and Overload. Trying to get into Elite Dangerous but it's not really my type of game. Maybe it will be some day though. Also play a little RBR but not all that much.
List of gear:
T300rs with a R383 Mod wheel - tmff2 driver. I designed a "quick" release ring so it's not a pain to take the wheel off for flight.
Heusinkveld Ultimate+ pedals - protopedal or xboxdrv depending on the game
TH8A shifter - heavily modified to fit in the small space I had and with a 3d printed short throw plate that I designed. It's not ideal, but works for occasional use.
Some ebay handbrake - I use xboxdrv for this sometimes if necessary but most games can find it. I also modified it to be mounted under the plate for a bit more space on top.
Gladiator NXT EVO Omni Throttle (Left and Right hand models) - These are a pain in most games. I use a winehid hack where I adjust the registry values
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE System CurrentControlSet Enum WINEBUS VID_231D&PID_{200,201} {Service, CompatibleIds}from xinput to winehid. This works but depends on the bus the device is currently connected to. Looking for a better SDL env var alternative but haven't got it working yet.Acer Nitro 37.5" QHD+ 3840 x 1600 curved display
NextLevelRacing "Wheel Stand 2.0" - I made some steel parts for it on the mill to increase rigidity, 3d printed spacers for the adjustable arms to tighten them up a bit since the stock ones are a bit sloppy, and made some extra plates for mounting the sticks and other stuff out of 10mm aluminum plate.
VKB UCM-S drop mount brackets for the sticks. I modified these as well to fit under the aluminum plates. The left one is hinged so that it can be folded upwards to get in and out of the chair when the chair wheels are fixed in place.
annnd... yes I know the shifter and handbrake are reversed... I like it that way.

Had a nice relaxing series of crashes today.

I'd suggest a decongestant, looks like you've got a lot of snot going on there =]
In all seriousness though, we all have to start somewhere. Just keep practicing, you'll get the hang of it.
