As my nickname implies; I have been more interested in flight sims than racing sims but lately I have found myself wanting to run cars more than planes. With that in mind I built an enclosed race simpit (see link below) and purchased a few games.

At this point I have more enthusiasm than skill and have found TDU2 to be the most fun of the racing games as I prefer open worlds to restrictive tracks. I do have an account with IRacing, RFactor, etc and they are great for full switch racing. Most of the time I want to just cruise though.

I look forward to interacting with other drivers in the future.

TDU DriveTime came up on a Google search when I was looking for support for a couple of issues that I am having with the game, which I will post in the help section as I cannot find answers by searching.

Thanks for keeping this community going.

Hi Bezrider, and thank you. Yes, I have a 1500sq ft toy shop. When I am not working on my hobbies, I build custom cabinets for the occasional customer. Luckily the commute is not arduous as my shop is across the driveway ;)

Nice, I would love my own workshop where I could tinker and make custom stuff (I install custom fitted Spam for a living so I guess we are not too far apart on the wood thing ;) )

Then you recognize the cabinet machinery in the background. Mostly small stuff as I do one off type of work. Hebrock edge bander, Grass boring machine, etc.

I build the CNC router table (5x9) originally to cut cabinet sides for me but never have used it for that purpose. Mostly custom architectural structures for sub contractors and of course signs.

My shop last week:

62 cabinets, 69 drawers, and 8 gallons of finish, lol.

The completed cabinets were filling up both stalls of our garage.

I installed the job last weekend. I now have time to tinker with my race pit and complete more ICP modules for F-16 hornet simpits ;)
