  for the pedals moving around on the carpet. On the bottom of the pedals there is a spiky edge. Right below the spiky edge there is a button. If you press that button the spiky edge comes out which helps to grip onto carpet.

  &quot;I don&apos;t think racing is for me&quot; .... plans next 5 upgrades 😂<br>my path was - Logitech wheel on desk - Logitech wheel on wheel stand (can bolt down the pedals) - Direct drive wheel on stand - direct drive wheel in cockpit.

  IDEA FOR A CHALLENGE: build a flight simulator setup, with an ultrawide in front of u, 2 smaller monitors to make 3/4 of a circle around u, and 1 or 2 monitors over head with all the needed equipment + those toggle switches for turning on ur pc remotely.

  Hey Ed! For the next step, definitely a cockpit, but maybe one that does not have monitor mounts so you can go for a VR setup instead. VR takes up less space, and is usually cheaper than a triple monitor setup. You can use the extra funds to put into getting a better quality cockpit. I recommend the BigScreen Beyond VR headset. Its tiny and high quality.
