My new racing set up

[Mayaman]

Booty I'm only 3 feet from my triple 46" screens. Very immersive

That is the dog bollocks dude.

Try an angle of around 50 degrees for the screens and a seating distance of 40"-50".
You might find that a screen distance to the screen size is a good starting point so start with 46".

It is very much personal preference but many professional triple screen cockpits tend to have the screens more angled and the edge of the outer screens are in line with the steering wheel position.

You will find going with a larger angle will give you more of a wrap around screen effect and allow you to get closer because of the reduced physical distance of all screens.

Be great to see more updated photos, good luck anyways.

Thanks guys. I raised my center channel off the floor and have my rig nearly touching the wall. I angled my sides in about 15 degrees and it is crazy the level of immersion now. I just need a couple more hours of game time and I will be all set.

Now I have the bug in a bad way. Next up gadgets, rpm, shifter display, button box, hook up buttkickers, and down the road I am going to add a motion system. Just have to figure out which one to go with.

Really nice and clean setup 👍
I'm currently preparing for triple screen myself, and it is
always nice to get some ideas from other peoples setup

My wife assured me that you must be a bachelor? Please tell me you have a wife and kids?

Why is it men have to be beasts of burden and can't have things he likes. That's why I kicked my girl to the curb after 9 years. I couldn't take everything for her. The bedroom, the living room, the kitchens, everything. To hell with that
Women are so stupid some times. Shut up. Because we like hobbies like this doesn't mean we're 40 year old virgins. My new girl is totally fine and knows like she loves shoes and hand bags I have things I like. Sheesh, they've had this scam going on for to long.

Go make me a sandwich! Lol

Wife, 3 kids, 2 dogs, a big old house and even bigger yard to care for. My wife turns a blind eye to my toys. All she cares about is the bills are met, kids, animals and house is tended too.

Actually, I think my wife indulges my hobbies just to keep me out of her hair.

Edit: Dang I almost forgot. My wife picked up all the materials for me to remodel my game room (paint, rollers, brushes, molding, sanding blocks, joint compound, she picked out scones for the room, shop vac bags, etc), she picks up all my games for me on release day if I cant get to the store, and she restocks my liquor cabinet for me without my even having to ask her or tell her I am running low. I guess that's why I am still with her after all these years.

She definitely sounds like a keeper. Although my setup is not up to the same standards as yours, my wife has a similar approach. She gave me a room and said "this is your mancave, set it up how you want and keep all games out of my living room." So I have just one 60" tv, 3 theater chairs, and a mini refrigerator which is always fully stocked with beer (by me, she doesn't touch it). Sometimes when we have some time to spend together, she get's tired of me and says "just go to your mancave and play". Never bothers me.

My theater is cluttered with the residual effects of what use to be my game room before I renovated it into a video gaming room. I probably wont have it cleared out for another couple weeks but when it's done I will take some pics and post 1 or 2 here. Actually the 2nd part of my new gaming room is cluttered too. That's why all you see is pics taken from behind or the side of the rig.

I was so tired from renovating the room and excited to get my equipment setup that I took a break on finishing clean up and the finishing touches on the room itself.

The sad part is my family doesn't use it much (the theater). Well my son does for pay preview UFC (he is a jujitsu nut) with his mob of friends. That is why I used it for storage until I clear out the remainder of what was once in my old game room.

Looking forward to it 👍
