Great post..  Wind Sim all setup and keeping me cool under my Quest 3..  

I couldn’t find a 3D printable case that fitted the UNO R3 and Cytron MD10 so I amended a similar one.. 

Link for anyone else who needs one..

Hi everyone,

First of all, a big thanks to the creator of this post! Thanks to your guide, I upgraded from a Chinese Uno motor shield to the MDD10, powered by a Meanwell 12V 150W PSU.

With the motor shield, everything worked fine during testing, but due to the power demand of the fans, I decided to upgrade. I followed every step as described, but now I’m facing an issue:

Nothing happens until I reach 130 km/h, and then the fans suddenly go full throttle. Even when I maintain speed, they keep ramping up to max and stay there.

I’ve tried adjusting the speed settings, but the only difference is that as soon as they activate, they go crazy.

I’d really appreciate any ideas or suggestions you might have! Thanks in advance for your help. 😊

Game: ACC
But with BeamNG same story

@mbrown278 I bookmarked your awesome video to build my wind sim, bought all the parts, and now I'm back to do the build but your video is now gone. 😥 

Is there another place I could watch so I can put my wind sim together?

@tonup sorry about that. I had given up the YouTube channel due to available time but still got a lot of comments/queries on them which I couldn't continue to manage, so I set all video's to private. I have changed the channel name, but have now set that specific video to unlisted for you and this is the link:

I hope this helps and good luck with the build 👍

@myronnl sorry you're having issues, have you managed to sort it? This now feels like so long ago that I made this video/guide, and I stopped sim racing a while ago. So from my now relatively vague memory - have you lowered the minimum force setting? Try lowering that until your fans just start up and are able to stay on at that level. If you set it too low then the fans could cut in and out when maintaining a constant low speed. Hope that helps and hope you sorted it or that someone else can assist
