D.I.Y. gauges in race game

May 31st, 2007

D.I.Y. gauges in race game Racing in a game just got a little bit more realistic, and this is made possible by a set of gauges taken from a real vehicle that are subsequently connected to a computer via a maze of wires and a little help from a USB cable. Not just meant for cosmetic purpoes, the real gauges actually respond whenever you floor the pedal in the game. The entire setup consists of a fuel gauge, a tachometer, and a speedometer. No idea on how to pull this neat mod off, but you will probably need a whole lot of D.I.Y. knowledge and some mean soldering skills. Digital gauges on your monitor? Pffft, why settle for that when you have the real thing at your disposal?
