My trucking simulator :)

[Jo_SimTek]

Hey guys My name Is Jack. I Am going To tell you A story About My Business idea With The help Of a Makerspace  And  Wondering If anybody Could possibly Help out  First Let Me tell you Alittle Bit about myself  I Am 17 years Old And   Most of my Life I have been in and out of Group Homes Because My father Has Never really Been There In  My life. He is a truck Driver And He could never Take Care Of me. He Had People Watch Me over the years But I Could sometimes Be alittle bit of A hassle. Honestly The reason I was Upset Was because My father Was never There For me. I had always loved Pc gaming And never Actually Had A useable Computer.  I had A really had time With socializing With people Because Most of My Life I Had Always spent my time alone. There Was Always something That Made Me excited About Pc gaming. I have Never Actually Been Able to afford A working Computer. Living In a Group Home Can Be stressful. I live In A small Low Tech city In saint john New Brunswick canada. Alot Of The time people Bully Me Because I Always Tried To fit In.  In 2012 I had figured Out That I have FASD Fetal Alcohol  Syndrome. I Am A extremely intelligent Person.  But The Fact Of living In A group Home Had held Me back. I Cant Afford Alot of things I would Like To have But I Have just kinda Lived With Had i Have. Now Let Me Tell You The story Of My Attempted business    I Started Building This Simulator On a Very Tight Budget.   I had  Started building It From Just A Small Idea I Had After Watching some YouTube videos.  I have always Wanted To build truck simulators From a young age. in about september 2013 I  had an idea Of building A truck Simulator.  At the time I had A job And I got my First Paycheck! first Thing I went to Buy Was A Logitech G27! Man Was I ever Excited When I first got it!  Around The Same time I had Found a truck junk Yard near My town To look for a Truck Shifter For my g27 .  (This Is Before I Found Out about The Makerspace) One Day I went There To pick Up The Shifter And I found this  And I Thought To Myself??? Maybe I could turn This into a Truck Simulator. At The Time I never Had The Tools Or the Resouces To Build a Truck simulator. That year I had Started My grade 11 Year And Was Taking a entrepreneurship Class. A few Weeks Into That Class A guy From A Place Called Dreammaker innovations (Makerspace) Had Came To Do a Presentation On Their Makerspace! Instantly I Was Hooked!  I Had told Him About My idea And Later That Week I had Went To Their Makerspace  And i instantly Started Working On my simulator. At The Time I had No Clue On how To operate Powertools And Started Building The First Prototype!        After 7 months Of Constant Hard Work The Makerspace Had Lost It's funding. When This happened My business Had Completely Collapsed  I have always Wanted To continue to finish The project So I could Show That I have Done something in Life  I Know Its not right Asking For help But I really Need The Help of the community And The Community Of Lmg Seems To be The people To look For Help   Im not looking For 1000's Of dollars Because Thats Not What I Need. I just need Alittle Bit Of money To pay for Parts To finish The Dream Of building A truck Simulator. Right Now I Have A computer Thats Semi Capeable Of Running The Truck Sim. (Thank you so Much Marc

 But It Crashes Quite A Bit Because The Ram Is Bad  Here Are The Specs Core2duo 3ghz stock cooler 240gbssd 4gb OF ddr2 ram Thats Faulty. A gt630 gpu. Better than anything i have ever Had   And A Really Cheap vga monitior  And No name mouse And Keyboard. Honestly I have not even Had money For thermal Paste And Have to use toothpaste  If anybody Has spare Parts That could Help ME out with MY dream Of Having A Truck Simulator.  Anything Helps And it will Mean Alot To Me 

If I posted In The wrong Place Let Me Know.   http://imgur.com/a/CPdN8

It's a cool idea but I wish you would separate your sentences with periods and do Not Capitalize Each Single Letter In The Sentence

 

And It Should Be In The New Build Or Build Log

Go on gofundme then, this isn't the place to ask for free stuff, or if you say that this is a "buisness" idea kickstarter.

 

Also try to organize your text into paragraphs really hard to read, and don't try to hide the fact that this is you wanting money by burying it in text.

I Tried kickstarter Sorry I posted This.

Asking for help with things like hooking everything up is perfectly fine, there is plenty of people willing to help you here, but asking people to open there wallets you could try, but it really isn't worth the effort.

 

Neat project though.

It does not have to Be money. even If its Hardware. Im sorry.. I knew There Would be hate For posting this.

I am not trying to be mean, I hope I didn't come across as that.

 

You aren't the first to come to the forums to just ask for free stuff, there isn't anything against it, but you are better off going to a place like kickstarter where people are going to go to give money to people.

[Fluffinator]

Yeah no ones gonna gove you free stuff and money when you make a new account and go on a forum..

[Jo_SimTek]

Maybe Its just time To let it Go. Sorry For posting About it. That's My fuckup

I don't really have any money I could give but I just want to say, coming from another simracer with a g27, your project looks awesome and I wish you the best in completing it. And remember that even if you don't finish building it, it wasn't all a waste of time. You learned a lot, gained new skills, and got a chance to rip apart an old truck in a junkyard. So even if this specific project doesn't pan out, you can use those skills later, and at least you got a bad ass shifter for your g27.

 

Good luck, man.

I've always wanted to build an Apollo program simulator complete with both cockpits, all switches and systems simulated. I'm jealous of you, keep up the good work and keep us updated.
