Show us your cockpit - Page 16

C3PO · 20 July 12, 10:08

Here's my rig. Runners finally arrived for the race seat: just need to build a frame to fix them onto now

joaoa13pt · 20 July 12, 13:45

I won't post any pictures...you'll only see a computer screen, a pentium 4 and keyboard and mouse

but i've been into seems (mostly simbin) GTR2 and GTL for about 2 years ou a bit more now and with that much experience, the keyboard really starts to feel like an imaginary steering wheel

detroitbb · 21 July 12, 20:44

There certainly are some nice cockpits shown here!

Siggs · 21 July 12, 21:51

Soon I'll be cutting the metal bar over the pedals, and also the middle one supporting the desk. Only far enough back so I can mount my wheel though. atm I drive off centred!

max attack · 21 July 12, 22:55

Nice work guys. That seat looks cool C3PO. Nice rig Siggs.

I got rid of the Fanatec plasti shift umm I mean Clubsport shift and put on the Frex 2012 Hshift+. 8 positions & 4 buttons. It changes like a real gearbox and sounds real enough too.
I have also added a bar under the mons that hold FL & FR speakers, it is also going to be the lower mount for an ally tank with some ports in it to hide the 8 plug power board and a lot of the cables in side some semi flexible ally ducting. The tank will be behind the center monitor. Still a lot of work to be done and its still hard to work when driving is so much fun.

C3PO · 13 August 12, 10:26

Cockpit 95% finished -- just need to paint this wooden frame support for the Corbeau black and raise the height of the pedals a little.

ZeosPantera · 13 August 12, 18:12

Are you going to fix the pedals to the seat? Just raising them may still let them slide.

C3PO · 13 August 12, 21:09

Yes, it's not too bad really but they do need a more secure fitting.

I'm jelous. I want a seat like yours. They cost a fortune in Oz land.

robbie73 · 27 August 12, 13:26

Well guys been awhile since i last posted.

Recently sold my old 2DOF Motion Sim that used boat winchs for movement,
Now with the new exciting software at www.x-sim.de we can bring it to life even more, this is a free software program that works with all our favorite racing games.

New dashboard pcbs, all designed and but by myself

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BfmoG...2&feature=plcp

New motors alot stronger and look more professional than my old winchs

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjNS7...1&feature=plcp

The old sim I sold for 900 just covered parts.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=syhtz...xhyrJWYMERXWNg

Not to mean to advertise but check us all out at X-sim but this is a free site.
We can guide you on the way to build a motion sim for under a 1000 not 10k or more than what the commercial guys want for theres

Having my steering wheel that low compared to the on-board view would drive me mad.

That said, your room and rig looks fantastic - I am heartily jealous.

hakkubar · 4 September 12, 22:43

My home made seat:

mrpowcz · 5 September 12, 23:44

Here's my "cockpit", its a small room so I have the pc and speakers on the table, but Im going to change that. I love my speakers though, theyre very old and have no value but have better sound than many flashy new sound systems!

Until I took a photo I didnt notice how dirty the wheel is lol

nescafe37 · 17 September 12, 21:43

Well its been a while since i updated this thread so here goes.
Well i have now got a 28" monitor and i have just mocked up a digital speedo and rev counter LEDs... Now i have got SR Hardware making me up a carbon fibre housing for the unit..

matacks · 13 October 12, 12:14

Cool, thread. I'll have to post some pics of mine if I ever build one of these.

johnyknoxville · 13 October 12, 18:28

i recently moved into my new house
and wanted to have the 3rd bedroom as a games room
so i set out to make as much as my set up as possible
i am a welder/fabricator by trade
so im quite handy at building stuff
we aslso have laser cutting machines, press brakes
and a powdercoating plant at my work so getting to use those was
very helpful.
firstly i wanted t table that span the complete width of my room
so i measured up and built the framework out of 30x30 brushed stainless box section,
i ordered the hardwood work top off ebay and cut it down to size and sanded and varnished it.
i also wanted to make a stand for my triple monitor set up, i made this out of brushed stainless 2mm sheet and got the lettering cut out on the laser.
i also debezeled my monitors to have less bezel space
next was the speaker stands that i made and had them powder coated to match my speaker set up
and finaly i wanted to make a stand for my t500rs so i could use it and put it out of the way when i wasnt using it.
i also had my pc case powdercoated white in soime areas as it was just plain black.
so here is the result.

ZeosPantera · 24 October 12, 19:59

What are you using to control the gauges?

driftgirl · 24 October 12, 22:23

bought the kit on this site : http://www.symprojects.com/

Flatspotter · 25 October 12, 21:49

I'm using SymProjects boards, too. Great stuff.

trotter2k · 3 November 12, 15:30

I've upgraded my PC to a ASRock 960GM-GS3 FX Socket AM3+ mainboard, AMD FX 4100 AM3+ Black Retail 3.6Mhz Quad Core CPU, VTX3D 1GB Radeon HD 5450 DDR3 Graphics card & 8 Gig DDR3 Memory. Using G27 with a Attack 3 Joystick as a handbrake and boost all in Full HD on a 42" LG LCD TV

TV to be upgrade next i think

OhioSpeed · 5 November 12, 06:01

Some of these are out of control. Wish I had a few more dollars to play around with.

atmisk · 22 November 12, 16:34

Flatspotter · 23 November 12, 03:02

I upgraded my setup. New wheel, pedals, gauges and digital displays.

However, everything has changed and this cockpit is no more in use...

The Muts Nuts · 26 December 12, 21:54

I recently upgraded to triple screens myself and couldn’t be happier. How do you like it so far?

Like night and day, more of a difference than going from DFGT pedals to Clubsports.

Its only taken 6 years since i first played GTR2 on a slow Laptop to get it sorted.

Whats next........

Nice setup! How do you like the BeyerDynamics?

The Muts Nuts · 27 December 12, 19:24

A couple more, better pics. No idea how to make them full page though.

Thats a 40" LCD centre and a 32" LCD either side. I dont think i could go back to single screen gaming.

dartguy · 28 December 12, 22:27

You live in a smokestack? Or did you turn up the pCars bloom too much? lol

Seriously, that is awesome! Almost overwhelming.

[QUOTE=dartguy;1665057]You live in a smokestack? Or did you turn up the pCars bloom too much? lol

I thought it was steam from the jeans drying over the radiator in pic1, lol.

Nice set-up, makes me feel quite inadequate!
