Kameraden,

Although I'm happy with the build quality of my Thrustmaster T3PA-PRO Pedals the braking never felt right to me. After a bit of reading, I decided to get these mods from Ricmotech for Load Cell / Clutch & Throttle Spring Upgrade / Heel Toe Spacer.

Disassembly phase:

Factory standard:

Mod installed:

Rewired (which was easy):

I'll let you know how it drives, hope to be testing by Sunday.

Firefly,

When I get a moment I'll take a picture of a few other items from my collection, hate to date myself but I fought online with Mechwarrior 2 in the Grand Council as *SJ* Osis for the Smoke Jaguars. In fact, I was heavily involved with Clan Star Adder / Clan Smoke Adder in Mechwarrior Online until I tired of the poor vision of the developers. 

Here is our total kickass logo:

And my Signature:

Oh wow, I never realised we had such serious MechWarriors in the squadron! I'm all about the Periphery (my allegiance belongs to the Taurian Concordat - yes, I know, laugh it up ), so I'm always happy to see those evil Spheroids have their butts kicked. 

By the way, what's the story behind the Smoke Adders? Did your MWO group challenge the Smoke Jaguar remnant to a Trial of Absorption? Also, that is a kickass logo.

Kameraden,

Because Mechwarrior Online did not add Clan Star Adder, we had a problem. I had been *SJ*Osis through all the various iterations of the game, one of my sibko *SJ*Tyr from the Grand Council days was in Clan Star Adder. He sponsored me to join and I got heavy into it, we decided to compete at a high level and thus we created Clan Smoke Adders for the tourney side of things which took over the original Clan Star Adder. I accumulated 10,881 Combat Drops with the unit, until the developers really annoyed me.

Right now I have 284,401,447 Credits accumulated and 125 Battlemechs in the hangers. Game is presently uninstalled.

Nice setup Lip, we're in trouble now 

Just noticed your shots of BC. You hit this part of the world at a good time Lip because Sept. has been chilly and getting wetter each week.

Update from 29 Sept 2019, this got installed on Saturday.

Couch is in and the goal is completely done in the next 2 weeks.

I'll post my rig progress in the other thread, this one can take a rest.

I found this video of my original Mechwarrior Online Unit "The Remnant" 

Put together by Celestial with us scripted to walk around and some battle footage thrown in:

S! Lipfert,

enjoyed the private insights you gave - it does make online contacts to JG-1 members much more personal and enjoyable.

The nice thing is, even with a long distance between members, we´re very much the same ...

Recently we also bought a MB C300 coupé - it´s such a beauty and joy to drive. In Germany there is partially no speed limit on the highways and you

could push it to the limit of 260 km/h. It´s such powerful for a 4-cylinder in-line engine. 0 - 100 km/h within 5,8 sec! I love it!

The new car is a gift my wife and me made to ourself for our wedding, which was on 19.09.19 this year. Most wonderful day in my life!

Finally as well our Simpits are very similar. Built and configured it for the MiG21bis and the F-16C Viper in DCS :-))).

Wishing a wonderful weekend to everyone!

Gus,

Willkommen, thank you for sharing. With any luck I'll get a few minutes over the holidays to stop working and get the flying portion of my setup finished.

Already looks very complete. The years end is a thankful time to enjoy the hobby. I wish I would be back in my twenties with the Simpit, where there was more free time and less daily duties :-)))
