Show us your Rig / Cockpit

Check out this amazing setup. He has built a real old school short throw gear lever setup that links to the his shifter positioned behind the seat (see bottom left of screen)!
Lots more vids on his channel..

Here is a few of me Rigs. I am selling the 180 degree screen.

I can't decide if that's genius or insanity. I suppose it is genius if one is stuck on just F1 drives of that era.

Here's my setup. Still tweaking them since I got the Fanatec stuff last week. Will tidy up once mounting positions are finalized.

Specs:
Gaming computer (GTX1070, I7-7700k, 16GB RAM)
Rseat S1 cockpit
Rseat S1 Shifter/handbrake mount
Rseat triple monitor stand (using single 49" LG TV currently)
Fanatec ClubSport Wheelbase v2.5
Fanatec ClubSport Pedals v3
Fanatec ClubSport Shifter SQ V 1.5
Fanatec ClubSport Steering Wheel Universal Hub
Fanatec ClubSport Handbrake V1.5

Just bought the Rseat keyboard mount and Rseat button box and tablet mount, and will install those next week.

My room is now finished, got my rig fully installed. Have the screen mountable for either VR (against the wall) or screen only. Made an effort to hide my wires as best I can!

 

[Dave_6]

My rig sits close to the wall but not right against it like yours. I never even thought about getting a wall mount for the monitor (I have the same one) as I do still use VR on occasion. I'm also working on my SFX-100 motion system and I need to take the monitor off the rig as it won't handle the motion I'm afraid. Do you have a link to the mount?

 

[metalnwood]

@Dave_6 I have the SFX100 and against the wall as well. I also have the monitor on the wall and it comes out from the wall about 800mm. I only use VR so it's a good solution to have a monitor off the rig without having a large stand around your motion rig.

Got my new beast with traction loss and simworx pedals.View attachment 325944

please excuse my ignorance but what is the maker of this traction loss I see on your rig?it seems super compact,I am interested to add such motion to my Playseat if applicable.

Quite the improvement with those thin bezels! I am always bothered by them. Like it.

Not a triple user here, but I see that you have a quite large angle between the monitors. What is the benefit of this setup to a smaller angle setup, where you are much more enclosed by the monitors?
Cheers

Your set up is a thing to behold for sure Mr Gourley.
Your keyboard mount, is it adjustable?

Thanks for showing some interest...Angle may appear to be large due to the photo possibly...although the side monitors are at approx 35 degrees...and also due to the construction of my Sim Rig I did not want the monitors to come to forward due to where the rig is positioned in the room against a wall...depth of the Sim Rig from the wall out to my TSXW wheel rim is only 900mm and this allows passage to walk past....so this was mainly the deciding factor for the larger screen angle.

Thanks for your response...no the keyboard mount is solid...but I could remove the screws holding it and re-position it if need be

Awesome setup. I have similar slim bezel 27s from iiyama which I love but very hard to align .

 

[DrRob]

@M D Gourley thanks for the explanation! It indeed looks like a lot larger angle in the photo than 35°.

 

[Tobbbles]

Humble beginnings. A friend getting his line all wrong.

I just moved to Germany from the UK; Looking at a cockpit next!

 

[Elaphe]

Just out of curiosity, has anyone here made a retro-style racing rig?

 

[Dennis Johnson]

Finally got my GT1 EVO with NLR V3 platform built!
Thanks to all the people to posted their builds and gave my lots of ideas to steal...lol

This view shows the rig in flying configuration. When I race, I removed the joystick and throttle and slide the seat forward to reach the pedals.

This is the slide mechanism that 8020.net sells to be able to move the seat forward and backward with ease. It works very well.

I recessed the rudders below the racing pedals. No issue of interference here at all.

The other side showing the shifter and handbrake mount.

Looking from the seat perspective.

Trying to make the rig as neat as possible. Hard to do with all the wires that I have going everywhere!
