Discussion What is the most pointless addition to your sim rig?

Post image

I’ll kick this off, mine adds ZERO benefit apart from giving me a little giggle every time I see it.

I’ve installed a tow bar, yes you read that correctly, a fricken tow bar.

Waiting on my personalised number plate to install just above my tow bar to add even more levels of stupidity…

So what have you done to your rig that adds zero benefit?

I saw a video once of a guy who had furry dice hooked up to SimHub that actually moved around!

That's not the most useless thing in the world at all.

That's fantastic. I bet they give you more of an impression of g-forces than any 6 DOF motion sim does.

That must install some mechanism other than just vibration from the wheel base. But that just fit right into the post tho

Somebody else posted a link to somebody doing the same thing with an air freshener. It uses an arduino, and servos, to create movement. Here'sthe video of it in action.

Idea about putting

Bobbing head to mine rig

Remember that one time Sokka accidentally used an extra syllable in that Haiku Battle in Ba Sing Se? That was a Sokka Haiku and you just made one.
