Show us your Rig / Cockpit

[Knightly_]

I am feeling very comfortable in the seat, but I guess some people would find the side monitors too close. No straining on my eyes. And yes AC does indeed a good gob rendering the individual screens even at high screen angle.

My low budget DIY rig with G27.
Chair is an IKEA Nolmyra, I used it because of the net-type fabric and its cheap (about USD25), could use a headrest though.
The rig itself is made with wood from two IKEA Albert rack units(USD14 x 2 = USD28). Bad point is the rig flexes up and down.
For handbrake is a Logitech joystick with a plate holder spring attached. Position is way too far and needs to be redone.
Monitor is a 27" curved Samsung IPS panel.

Nice starter rig! Add a diagonal brace on the right & left and you'll have a sturdier rig.

... and a plank screwed to the poles at the front of your rig (near the wall) will help as well.

Wow, I want that kind of solution sometime in my life, I guess a VR headset will have to suffice, it's easier to sell in to the wife if nothing else

Some very nice cockpits here. I was excited for finishing my own but now I want to make it more hardcore

Tommi - what's your H-shifter, a modified G-27?

Tommi - what's your H-shifter, a modified G-27?

Yes it's a modified g27, a lot stiffer with a modified spring Had to modify the bearing ball holes too so it worked with the extra stiffness.

This reminds me. People do a lot of brake pedal modifications with a spring. Spring force is too linear without much feel to it. I have a (personal opinion) much better and cheaper option to this.
It's an old bushing out of mercedes antiroll bar. This makes the brake pedal feel very much like a road car brake pedal, just the right amount of stiffness and flexibility, and is durable too

Used bushings for the handbrake too, and it too feels like the real thing.

Just something to consider when building your own rig!

That looks like a real steady construction!

Wilfred, love your setup mate and was wondering what keyboard with touch pad that was as i think it might be ideal for my setup as well.

Thanks.

Jason.

It is no flex at all makes a big difference and its pre drilled for buttkickers

That is one tidy and high quality rig you have there.
I certainly like it and further than that, I reckon you are now ready to step up to RF2
