Hello everyone,

I just assembled my new G27/Playseat Alcantara cockpit.

I need to raise the height of my cockpit as my screen is placed too high.

My question is what the optimal cockpit view is in relation to the screen?

Would it be cockpit-wheel to in game-wheel at line with each other or would that be too high?

I play on a 100" widescreen from a distance of 2-2.5 meters if that makes any difference.

Thanks guys

I'd just ay get a nice FOV so that you can see almost everything on screen. Make sure your neck isn't stretched aswell.
 
I just lined up the middle of my tv with my eye line.

But you say you have a 100 inch tv, thats huge. as long as you aren't straining your neck too look at the tv screen it should be fine.
 
Thanks for the answers.

I thought there was some kind of standard for racing sims with regards to screen height vs cockpit height. Seems like it is just a matter of preference then.

So I have decided to go a little below the midline of the screen so that my eye line is around the 1/3 part of the screen height. Just as recommended for home theaters.
