Community Question | Who Here Uses A Dedicated 'Sim Rig'?

[Tormentor]

Permanet setup in a permanent man cave...

I'd really like a dedicated setup, but unfortunately I don't have one currently, so it's mount to my desk and re-setup my wheel / pedal every time lol!
It hinders how much I play fully immersed in VR + Wheel for sim racing, so a dedicated setup is something I plan to do ASAP.

*Dig'n all the awesome pics of setups you guys!*

I always wondered if there was someone out there who bought 2 H-shifters to properly replicate driving in a LH or RH car...I respect the dedication to authenticity Excellent setup!

Thanks ...the right hand TH8A shifter is H-Pattern with the TM Sparco Mod set as a 'Handbrake' beside it as in my country the steering wheel IRL cars are on the right side, so love driving a car in Sim that is right hand drive so I can make use of that authenticity.....although right hand drive cars in any Sims are very rare

I answered movable because technically it is. I use an obutto ozone, it generally only moves against my wall if it isn't in use but I on move it out of the way. I don't have a dedicated room for it.

Some of these rigs are awe-inspiring!

Mine...not so much. A Playseat Challenge zip-tied to a monitor stand. Though, I am glad to see I'm not the only one who has crafted a rig around the Challenge. I've had good luck with it - sturdy and comfy.

I will say though that my conversion to VR has really put paid to any desire or need I feel for a fancy rig.

I should stop reading this post before murdering my credit card and my wife doing the same to me.

I designed, measured and built my own 8040 rig.
Due to covid, I had to think of a way to be able to get my rig in place for racing when I get the rare hour or so to do so.
But then I need to be able to have my desk area ready for working when I log in to work from home.

So...
I got some casters, so the whole rig is mobile. I attached a powerstrip to it in order to power the USB box which then has the fan, CSW v1 and pedals connected to it, which then connects to the PC. So move the office chair out, rig in front of the screens and then two leads need plugging in and I'm good to go in less than 5 mins

well I got no pictures of its current state at hand, but theer's some of its becoming in this thread: https://www.racedepartment.com/threads/slow-rig-build.172986/

I always liked the DIY/DIWhy aspect and build my own stuff, like my H-gate shifter in around 2008. Currently in the last steps of designing a custom button plate/paddle holder for my Momo rim on the SC2.

I have two bass shakers under my chair and two under my pedals. I drive mainly with the Valve Index.

Nice setup for sure. I focus on your steering wheel. Which model is that? where did you get it?

If I don't use my XB1 controller for any other game on my PC, does that count as a dedicated sim rig?

Whoa... RD turning into /r/simracing !

My modest setup with my trusty G27 that refuses to die after many years of service. Can be switched back into a regular work / game PC in like 10 seconds.

i use a DOF Reality H3 with Thrustmaster T500RS, TH8A shifter and Aiologs handbrake.
50" screen and homebuilt PC and PS4.
kids are grown up, hehe

I mounted my Playseat on some sleepers to raise it off the floor and covered them with some ply that my mrs kindly painted with some sponsorship logos.

My modest setup is this for now ... the other steering wheels arrived later are missing but the photo is quite recent. I started with a simple table and a Logitech G27, crazy as time goes by. In the future I plan to buy a motion simulator with direct drive wheel as well. I've seen all the photos of the setups, it's really fantastic to see how passion overcomes economic difficulties.

Sadly enough i had to tick the "movable set up box ". There is just no space in our home for a permanent rig.

But i could never imagine that my movable setup would be a SFX-100 + GS-5 combo with a 4-way belt tensioner and it would take me only 3 minutes to set it up

Thank you.
That's a Sam Maxwell SMZ1 wheel I got from the Z1 Dashboard website.
