Your rig/setup

Now I need "the Rig" itself hehe (at least racing seat and Triple Screen).
Thankfully there are a lot of nice setups around as a great inspiration. I like stuffs some guys creating no matter if it's cheap or expensive solution. Keep up posting your setups!

 

Bob Marley, witcher 2 paper dolls, G13, Batman, Fanatec, Far Cry... Seems we're alike. I like.

 

After seeing everyone else's rig put mine to shame might as well post mine, nothing great but it gets the job done for me, now that i earn money as well i will be able to expand a bit more
I know the quality of the pictures is awful as well

tyler Hudson won the iracing nascar world championship with a very similar set up, all you need is a comfy seat and a wheel, I like it, never be ashamed of your rig, we all started where you are

 

So this is kind of a different approach. I didn't have much money to build something, but did have a "U" shaped furniture built in. I cut a door in half and put each half on one side of the U to close it off, more for heat retention than anything else. Then I made a drop shelf for the wheel and shifter out of finished mdf, secured with lengths of 2 by 4 to stand up to FFB. Then I finished everything and added some lighting. Not terribly fancy, but I was able to put it together for under 50 bucks. The seat is on lockable wheels and I roll it in behind me because room is kinda tight.

 

I did just make one change, I plugged my CSR Elite pedals into my computer via a USB port. Now I've got load cell!

 

Here's my rig (excuse the mess with cables, was too excited when I finished it to care about cable management) :


Home made base, G25 with load cell on the brake pedal, three wheels (Oreca GT, old Momo from a real F3000 with a SRH wheel plate, modified SRW-S1), TH8RS, 7" tablet for display, DSD button box, TrackIR 5.

 

Hey, did Thrustmaster buy the RS Shifter from Act Labs? I used to have one of those. I just don't know where it ended up! Might be time to upgrade to the latest tech. Looks sweet.

 

I'm currently using an old office chair, I almost have enough to buy one of these Playseats - well i think thats what they are called at least

 

Here's my rig. Simple and sturdy (I learned to weld during this project). Fanatec GT3RS V2, CSR Elite Pedals w/inversion kit and a CSR shifter. The racing seat is out of the car my dad used to race when I was a kid.

 

Being British, I like it that side I do swap sides sometimes but it just throws me off alot

 

CSR Elitres, very nice. How long have you had them? They look too pristine

 

My Rig seems quite modest in comparison to some of you guys. If I could get the wife evicted from the office - her desk is behind mine - I could probably get away with setting something more permanent and fixed

I Liked everything... but I must admit I'm also very jealous ;o)
Now my first target is new GPU and 3 big screens. I would like to remove each LCD from the frame and put them directly into the one mounting frame to minimize the distance between them. Your screens seems to have a really thin borders which is good ;o) Then I'm sure I will find some cheap seat somewhere and build cockpit probably from pvc tubes (liked that idea).
And maybe question out of my range... how much for the motion...? I mean just the controller unit, SW and that two "pistons". Your video nicely shows how much immersion it can add to the racing. As I said. Very jealous

 

My Monitors are Samsung UE40ES5500 without frames and the Motion System you can buy at www.Simxperience.com. Simracing withs Motion is alot more like real Racing.
