Hi, I'm new of this forum and I would share my cockpit with you. I run iRacing and Assetto Corsa and a Audi TT in the real life.
My SimRig is in my cave My rig is DIY; now my wheel is Fanatec CWS v2 but I'm waiting for OSW by MotionSys with Mige.
The shifter is a Sequential BlackBoxGT Limited Edition, a copy from Porsche GT3
My pedals are HPP 3P PRX, they are fantastic!
Now some photos, hope you like it

After the first day I had to raise the seq. shifter because was to low for fast shift. Now is Ok!

And this is my TT ;-)

TESTING LFS

 

[Flying Kefran]

I have finished mounting everything. I have to say that I am very pleased with the JCL Sim Racing rig.
I will write a review for a french site, I can translate and it on RD if some of you are interested.

The Heusinkveld pedals feel even better on this rig.

Some impressive rigs in this thread, after over 20 years of driving games and simulations i finally bought myself something that's worth showing too .

Main components:

• OSW with Lenze built by Reimer Motorsports

• OMP Superturismo built by Fitech

• KPCR Piez RIG Expert (shortened) with DIY wheel base & monitor mount, made from the profiles i cut away and some cheap wood boards

• G27 pedals with stiffened brake

• Corbeau Club Sport GFK Bucket

• Audio Technica ATH M50

• TH8RS

• Dashmeterpro on an old Galaxy Note

• Pink zip-ties

Don't think i'm much faster than with a G27 on a childrens desk, but still, i'm not going back .

Hi folks,
I decided to build a racing rig when I still was not satisfied with 3 monitors placed on a desk. I could not find a good compromise between sense of speed, FOV, and cars/tracks being distorted due to FOV. I experimented with two possible ways how to setup the monitors before I started to build: First is same viewing distance to the center of all three monitors but lower horizontal FOV, second is different viewing distance to the center of all three monitors but higher horizontal FOV due to larger screen angle. From driving realism I was way more satisfied with the latter one. That also fitted my plans of keeping the total width of the rig low as I don´t have to much space in the room. I was inspired by the rig on this page (http://www.flash.ae/sim_rig/). However, I did modify the H-Shifter alignment slightly and made a completely different monitor stand to fit my FOV needs.

The rig basically consists of:
-Whole bunch of PVC tubes 50mm diameter, 2.4mm wall thickness.
-Some wood, a lot of screws, black spray color and carbon foil.
-G27 wheel, shifter, pedals.
-Thrustmater TH8A shifter.
-Triple Dell U2414H.
-Leather seat from local scrapyard.
-Lenovo 7" tablet and Samsung Ace 2 for dashboard.

What else:
-The monitor stand is completely decoupled from the rest to avoid shaking at fast wheel changes and manual shifts.
-G27 H-shifter is modified to work as a sequential shifter and can be rotated by 90 degrees to a position where it does not disturb the use of the Thrustmaster H-shifter. That way you can either use paddles or sequential shifter or H-shifter, whatever you prefer or suits the car.
-The seat itself was only 30 Euros at a local scrapyard. Seat alignment is still full functioning within the rig.
-Total dimension of the rig is 150x120x120cm (LxWxH).
-Horizontal FOV is ca 170°.

Some photos:

Since photos do not really capture the FOV I made two short videos:

Very steep angle on the side monitors, but it seems the game does a good job of making the image stretch nicely. Does it not feel a bit claustrophobic though? Or even straining on your eyes?
