Hi all,
Congratulations to Colin for this wonderful job!
My only scare is that after two years of search, prototypes and hard job the final price will be horrible expensive.
Also, I am not sure if this was already asked (if yes, apologize) what about the airbag? Will it be fitted (and working)?
It looks like you are so close! Keep trying! Goooooood job!

Thanks for your considered comments.
There is for sure always a substantial initial investment of both time and money in developing anything.
By example, the current version of the MSV-2 hardware is 57.
Ultimately this cost is eventually recovered in the cost of supplying it, but never to such a degree that affects the items value or worth or that can be noted.
I would never have invested in this project at all if i did not truly believe there would be more than enough sales of it to cover the investment within an eventual price that would be reasonable to most anyone
The Airbag system is totally unaffected.
And yes we are sooooooo close now we can actually smell success

Is there an option to add the paddles to a D3 wheel? The RRS wheel with paddles seems to have the same rear casing as the D3, just needs the RRS paddles plumbing in. 'Just' I know dead easy!

Hiya Colin
The amount of time we've been waiting, one might expect the unit to make coffee too
Come on, out with a ballpark price please, you have people wanting to part with money. Get me a set at a decent price and I will write up an installation post

Sadly, i have unexpectedly been left short handed on devolping this particular project, however i have just taken delivery of some high wattage rheostats & potentiometers that will allow me to figure out the value of the external resistor required and the changes to the internal ones.
Progress may be slow, but it is being made and is always in a positive direction.
