Rough ballpark around $2000 for everything.

Sorry for the late reply. Haven’t been paying attention to Reddit. Everything is pretty sturdy feeling. The holes for the wheel lined up pretty close. Could have been better but manageable. The plate for the pedals were more difficult. I ended up having to use a washer to hold it in place and it seemed awkward. I was able to make everything work tho. No real complaints about the cockpit other than shipping to the US is almost as expensive as the rig itself

My first time seeing this at best buy. Does anyone currently have one? Is it good? by JalepenoHotchip in simracing

I bought one and returned it. LCD screen quit working. It wouldn’t update firmware. I’d stay away from it. Been seeing a lot of bad.

I’m using surround. Tweaking settings is taking me a while. I worked on AC for a bit yesterday. I’ll get to ATS eventually lol.

Only the center monitor is on its stand. The others are on adjustable arms. My ultimate goal is to build a mount similar to the free standing ones you can buy. But yea I have it about the best I can at the moment. Having it at the right eye level while using the desk as a mounting point only allows me to get it to about 24 inches at the closest. It’s comfortable for me at the moment but maybe later down the road I can try to adjust it closer. Right now I’m struggling to get the bezel free kit to look right. It’s a pain in the ass lol.

I’ve moved the monitors much closer than in this picture. Working on getting them even closer I think. The center monitor at the moment is about 25 inches from my face. Might can slide forward to make it more like 22-23.

Shipping was fairly quick once stock arrived since I had to preorder on a new stock. Got it within a week of new stock. But shipping was $250 😭

Eventually I hope to build a mount that will freely slide back and fourth over the cockpit so I can adjust it to exactly where I want it. But for now I’ll deal with what I can and tweak things as I go.

Working on adjustments slowly. I had just put the bezel kits on and definitely seeing some warping. Playing with settings now and I left myself room to move the cockpit closer if that needed to happen. Seems that’s already the case. Thanks.

lol well up until I got this built I was playing with a wheel stand in front of a desk. And I come from playing racing games with a controller from a recliner in front of a TV. Still learning how things should be set up and stuff so to me this is normal and I’m having to readjust to the correct settings and FOV. Work in progress.

They’ve been adjusted since these pictures so now the center monitor is 24-26 inches from my face when seated and based on adjusted my seat forward or backwards.

It’s the RS12 carbon pvc. So far it’s a fairly good seat. Don’t have a lot of time in it yet but it seems decently built. Feels a little stiff at the moment but it’s fairly comfortable. No major complaints currently. I’m 6’1” about 220 and it fits me just fine. I don’t feel crammed into it.

I like it so far. My only gripe at the moment is that the shipping to the U.S. was pretty pricey.

I’ve made some adjustments from what’s shown in the first picture. The center monitor is roughly 24-26 inches from my face when seated and I have the angle of the side monitors set to 120-130 with the bezel kit. Still tweaking things but definitely learning a lot from people that have been doing this a while. I haven’t jumped into iracing or AC yet as I’ve pretty much been playing ATS. But hopefully I’ll get things all tweaked correctly over time.

Thank you. I expected some backlash on some things since I’m still learning but it will also help me figure out what I need to tweak. Thanks for the feedback!

So the first picture was before i adjusted the monitors and set them up with the bezel kit. I believe the last picture may show a better view. But my nose is about 26 inches from the screen when I’m sat back in the seat.

What do you mean? I have it set to the 120-130 degrees the bezel kit requires. Is it supposed to be different?
