Hi, there is no aditional software of any kind. Only plugin for display and software and plugin for that small LCD display. Wheel is shown as two gaming devices, but wiring of electronics, and some of my creativity, took advantage of what electronics are giving me.

I want to get a hold of the software for this wheel. The hardware can probably be built in a cheaper way than he did when doing this replica but again, the software for all those features would be nice.

Anyone know how to contact him? Were did virtualr get the news?

Building you own wheel isn’t that hard to do. I built my own over four years ago and it has served me very well. Granted, it not nearly as elaborate as Mr. Roso’s wheel. RSC has a page that is a great resource for building your own stuff.
Mabye it’s time for me to update my wheel????

so if you buy the really expensive Amalgam 1:1 wheel you would just need to find a way to hook up the dials and rotary switches.

When is a manufacturer going to realize there is a market for an F1 wheel? I mean seriously, in an era when F1 drivers have every vehicle control option on their wheel, logitech thinks they revolutionized the steering wheel with 6 buttons.
That the G25 shipped with 2 buttons was a complete joke.

That’s some serious craftsmanship. I’d buy one. =)

That’s the first custom wheel I’ve seen that’s actually any good. Impressive.

WOW I would love a wheel like that. Amazing what some people will do for sim-racing.
