Your rig/setup

that's LG 32LN570V flat TV 120 ghz (btw lg's are awesome, my recommendations). was thinking about maybe swapping someday to LG 42LB552V or even Samsung UE48H8000 before occulus cv1 availability, but always stop myself because of the free space.
Keyboard to the rig was mounted by ipad clamp holder lol. In this case it's Ultramounts 801. it has bendable bar. Same clamp holder holds the center of 5.1 system


So i just drilled 3 holes on the side of the table mount and attached it to the other side of the rig - to the place where could be mounted gearbox holder. Photo is a liitle dizzy but it gives a clue. Velcro fastener holds keyboard itself.

Err, what is deskracer style? You mean a platform on dyi?

 

Here's my Fanatec setup. I love it, but it feels almost lame after seeing all the incredible custom builds around here. But in the end I just want to spend more time driving and less time configuring. Since my rig is in our "formal" dining room space, I promised my wife I'd make it all look as nice as possible since it's an open space where people will see when they come over.

 

:O how is any aspect of that lame! even seems quite compact considering! stools for rear speakers?

 

The stools are for my "rear passengers". Haha. I just stuck those there so friends have a place to sit when they visit.

 

yeah you're not alone - can't lost feeling my rig is kinda lame and dull too, cause g-forces is the only what i miss.
btw did you win that cup or that's just a collector item?

 

I won the cup, but it's nothing special. Small local track event group that runs time attacks. But it was my first time attack event and first trophy from driving.

 

A desk racer Style frame would look like this.

I recently bought a Thrustmaster F430 FFB wheel. Very solid FFB and design. Gave my old rattly, wobbly-calibrated G25 to a friend.



I prefer just a desk clamped setup. I haven't got the cash for much anything else...... And I still win races

 

now i see, thanks. well, it seems vr3 is quite possible to adopt at least to 2dof

well, it's something special for me though - i don't have a local track, but you even won laguna seca time attack - that's unreachable heights for me

 

My latest incarnation of my rig. Not finished yet but I thought a couple of my changes might interest someone.

330mm Sparco Ring wheel has been a big upgrade (Mounted on DSD boss) but it meant that I couldn't find a good height for the wheel with my GT Omega setup.
ed 4 fence mending brackets and some M6 bolts to make it possible to put the wheel tray absolutely anywhere. It looks weak and rickety but surprisingly it's strong enough.

Also, I made a floor. Now I'm a lot more relaxed on and off the pedals. Simple I know but it makes quite a difference.

 

...and yes, my rig includes genuine 60s pheasant themed curtains.

A video tour of my rig this time with a special treat for Blade Runner fans at the end!

 

I'm not sure if it's a right place but have to ask. What I can do with this pathetic DFTG pedals? I love the steering wheel and don't want to change it. I want to buy just two pedals without clutch but i can't find anything. I can spend about 100$. Any ideas?

 

Not really sure TBH. I cant think of anyone making a set of pedals that costs less than $100.

Fanatec sell a set for $150 but require you to buy another adaptor to use without their wheel. Not sure of the cost on top of that.

They also sell a set for $79 that only works with their wheels. You could buy a $30 controller board and rewire it. That would get you at about $100 working on the pc.

Otherwise I would suggest looking for a set of g25, g27, T500 pedals. They do get sold as people with these wheels often have gone with a $500+ set of pedals and then sell the pedals that came with the wheel.

 

No I'm not on other forums.

The reason why I got it so quickly was the fact that one Finnish mate wanted to sell one of his controller electronics (he got 2 of those) for me. Therefore I only had to buy motor, wheel rim and equipments needed for mounting the rim and the motor. Braking resistor is still missing but already ordered.

Overall I'm very happy how it feels! Discovered that damping is your friend and the enemy at the same time. Would be even better if I could override AC's FFB settings with MMOS ones so I could use one of those effects (can't remember what it was) for getting heavier overall feel without adding too much of damping.

So still a lot to learn but feels pretty impressive already.

 

my first diy rig

 

Wow, seeing all those amazing rigs...mine can be defined as "old school", "vintage" or perhaps even "antique" :
Indian massive wooden table as desk, vintage style secretaire, 1930's leather desk chair, hand made victorian style double seat (with the sheat over), indian hand made wooden coffee table with elephant prints. It's located at the attic, which still needs some restoration.
But this is what I like and where my inspiration for making AC skins comes to life.
P.S.: The paintings come from the hand of my very artistic wife

 

Here is a picture of my rig. Got some amazing upgrades coming at some point in the next few weeks or months . Looking to get a simvibe and a motion setup going in the next year and a half.

 

That's why I'm based on the attic
