Your setup is amazing. Looks like it came right out of an arcade or lab!

Isn't this a repost or an already-mentioned topic? Do a search. Better safe than sorry.

I am almost embarrased to show you my effort, but it serves a purpose, that is it's portable. It does however demonstrate my total lack of handyman skills

What you can do with no talent and even less money

The surround sound system add an interesting dimension though.

Actually, that's not too bad. Just needs a coat of paint. 👍

I'm sorry but ... . ahem okay I'm done.

I would very much like to show you my set-up, but I only have an anologue camera.

What I use is ergonomicly perfect and I am sure a lot of people have it in their bedroom/ basement standing there not used.

It is an ab trainer that was sold a lot years ago, and you simply fit the wheel on the bar , put a chair behind it and you're off!

 

[SimRaceDriver]

I'm using this setup for now...

Bigger TV, shifter & handbrake, receiver & speaker setup to come later down the road!

 

[Swillie]

[911_gt3_rs]

thats a very sweet setup volkavb, but whats under the white sheet?

This setup looks a bit like the one from Frex with its simple yet functional design!

Only thing that would make it even better...IMHO...is to make the shelf where the driving wheel would normally be clamped to fully adjustable...instead of using a stationary position. This would allow everyone to obtain a comfortable driving position.

 

[volkavb]

MadduckUK, that's two wooden stands beneath the sheet, we didn't have any studio or blue screen at hand...

This Frex-thingy is quite cool aswell, but at least twice as expensive.
Apart from that, you can adjust the height of the steering wheel on this setup. And the seat. And the footrest (in angle, too). Oh, and the main structure can also be adjusted. Still working on the surround-sound-stands, though.

im just rying to figure out how tall it is, no need for the sarcasm

Hey, mine's going to look lot more like yours too! I don't have any handyman skills either. It should be very interesting. I admire GT_Alex's craftsmanship though.

 

[volkavb]

Didn't want to sound sarcastic...
Measurerments are 1,5 m lenght, 0,5 m width. The steering wheel is adjustable in height, in this setup at a maximum of about 0,5 m, which is perfect for me (1,77 m).
Width and height could easily be adjusted by using different lenght aluminium profiles (if You call them like that in english), so virtually any kind of seat could be used even by really huge guys.

 

[MadduckUK]

no worries

Good lord.....

Some kids gonna get is ass handed to him at the soap box derby.

 

[MadduckUK]

The barbie beanbag is an interesting touch

 

[8400RPM]

Here's mine. I would INSIST that anyone who can get a DFP and a good way to mount it should do so. It will increase your GT4 experience ten-fold. I tried playing the demo with the DS and it just didn't compare immersion-wise.

It's a Racebase MkII DIY kit. Highly recommended.

Ain't that the truth, but it's easy for me to get my tired old bones into and out of 👍

*Hey, no offense, but is that something you bought or made? It just looks like it'd be hard to make, but specific to a racing game setup

 

[SimRaceDriver]

No offense take but honestly, does it look like something that would be in a D.I.Y. (Do It Yourself) catalog? LOL!

Actually, it's a pre-build setup from a company called Ball Racing Developements or BRD for short!

Here's a better picture of it from the side..minus my current 27'' Sony TV on it!.....but when GT4 hits, I'll be moving it in front of my 36' Sony TV
:-)
