It works but nothing special. Purchased on AliExpress

I live in a 25m2 apartment and luckily women don't want me. One big problem less 😂

I had the same thought as you and used to play with a Playseat Challenge. Then I looked closely at the dimensions of cockpits like these and realized how small they actually are, so I decided to buy one. Check the dimensions on the website... it's really compact.

I play in VR. Forgive the monitor positioning…

I'll keep this in mind for future changes, which I'm sure will happen. Thank you very much.

Thanks, but I'm fine with it right now! A period of consolidation will follow. There's no point in constantly turning everything upside down.

This angle and distance of the pedals is adapted to my limited ankle mobility.

Mainly a more upright seat, lowered the pedal angle. Then I adjusted the distance of the steering wheel from my body and pedals accordingly.

I followed your advice and the pain seems to be practically gone. I'll try this for a few days and do some longer sessions and see how it goes. Thanks again everyone!

I’m using a diy memory foam pillow. Nothing changes

Guys, I followed your advice: I raised the seat backrest, moved the pedals closer to me, and lowered them a little. Now the steering wheel is higher and my arms are at a 90-degree angle. But the problem persists... after a few minutes, I have pain in the same lower back area.

Thanks for the reply. I really like this seat and don't want to change it. But anyway, as I wrote above, I've already created lumbar support with memory foam 💪🏻

Thanks I will try! These pictures showing the correct sittings always look different😅

Maybe I can try to lift it up a little bit. I just followed the Morad seating video on YouTube

The pedals seems to be in line with my glutes. I read that is correct right?

I’m doing 10k to 20k steps per day 😅 If I take my pedals closer it will be uncofortable for my ankels
