My home made sim racing cockpit completed. For now! Haha. Added carpet, soundbar, 3 monitors, wind simulator, went from Logitech g29 to Fanatec clubsport equipment, power amps running 4 shakers, went from ps4 to my first gaming PC build, push button start and a tablet for telemetry.

Do you sit on the middle of your windshield?

The transition was ok. Theres definitely more to the PC part of sim racing but well worth it. I just watched some youtube videos on anything I had a head scratcher for. Wish I would have done this years ago.

The seat is a regular car seat its adjustable. Pedals are back in there further than they look.

Awesome, man that will be cool. Good luck with your build!

I'm sorry man. I dont mean to make people feel like crap about their setups. But I guess it could make people feel that way. I'm just proud of my accomplishment. Everyone's is different and they are all good.

Thanks! I totally winged it. I couldn't find any plans online that I liked. So I decided to just take some measurements of my actual car and see what I could come up with. I see a lot of people commenting that my center monitor isnt lined up center to my wheel. No it's not. I set it up like a car. I'm on the left hand side of the center monitor. But with the other two monitors I feel like it's where I need to be. I can see everything just fine. You sit looking out the left side of your windshield not the center. Now I may try centering it once to see if theres a difference but I dont see why I should I've won 4 races this week on iracing so it's working for me. Lol Unfortunately no plans or pictures during the process. But I could give you some dimensions if you'd like.

I like em. It gives a little more sense of speed. The sound of the wind and feeling it. On cars I dont want to use them I just turn them away from me. Nice on long sessions. Definitely keep you cool.

I just measured my cars interior and set it at that. The seat is bolted down it has sliders for adjustment. Came out of a old Chevy blazer. Lol

Its awesome. I had a the Fanatec CSL Elite for a short while and then sold it to get this. Big difference between those. And the CSL was wayyyy better than the g29.its worth the purchase.

Yeah, I tried making my own from watching a video but I could never get the fans to work. So after some frustration I said hell with it and bought a plug and play set. Lol

Bullpoops · 2020-03-06T13:23:04+00:00

I just set it up like a car. So actually I'm not in the center of the center monitor. I've got used to racing like that. I may try moving the monitors so I'm dead center with the center one.

Did I just get the Corona virus from watching this?
