Ricmotech got its name with the RS1 Do It Yourself sim chassis many years ago. I have built one myself and I have met countless of other sim racers who have conquered the same challenge. Since then Ricmotech has expanded into one of the premiere after market product makers in sim racing. Their lineup includes modifications to the ever popular Logitech and Thrustmaster wheels and pedals. It also includes stand alone products such as button boxes and hydraulic pedal sets.
I sat down and interviewed Frank of Ricmotech to talk about the history behind the company and some of the thought process behind some of his great products. It is always such a pleasure to meet the people behind the companies, especially someone like Frank who makes himself very accessible to his clients and potential customers. He is one of the rare cases of someone who actually has all of their contact information right on their website.

I recommend painting it with an oil based primer first, then you can use any type of paint on it. The other option is to wrap it with a vinyl wrap. I would still paint the edges first, then the large areas can be wrapped with a carbon fiber pattern vinyl or custom graphics.

While I can't imagine wanting an Hyundai interior, it is very well done and looks incredible. Well done.

I like War Thunder, it has some real decent triple screen graphics and sound for flying the airplanes. I prefer the bombers at Arcade Battle rating, but some of the radial engined fighters are a lot of fun too. Other than that, I am an avaid truck driver driving a lot in American Truck Simulator and European Truck Simulator 2. They even have some really good multiplayer for both games, the ETS2 has a Winter mod built in, it looks like Winter with snow on everything and falling. Both games even have a short range "cb radio" that works in line of sight, you just set the microphone in the game and then it goes to a hot mike and people can hear you, but if you get out of sight, you can't hear each other. Now I wish other games would get the technology and incorporate it.

Just received an email from Jon at BasherBoards. He days he has a prototype in the works that would allow you to use a shifter... Will have more on this as it becomes available
