hey gtp for about the last week or so i have been working on my gt5 racing cockpit. it is not done yet but close, the only things left to do are adding some plywood some some paint. here are some pictures:

This best belongs in the Sim Racing Hardware forum 👍

the reason i put it here is because i made it especially for Gran Turismo 5

I know, but it mostly covers building a Sim Racing rig rather than its purpose. Besides, moving it to the Sim Racing hardware forum will get you better feedback 👍


Nice rig, though

Thats effin sweet,have fun with that bro

 

[steleb]

thanks buddy ill be updating this thread until it is finished

Why did you decide to enclose the seat like that? Looks like it's going to be a pain to get in and out off, and the plywood enclosure isn't really adding to the stability of the wheel support, since they aren't connected.

Maybe add a "car door" as well?

Putting a door in would be sweet; looks like you have more than enough skill to do it.

 

[steleb]

a door would be nice i might add one in the future but right know my focus is on sticking on my design and finishing the cockpit.

And when it will be done the steering wheel platform will be very solid

Its not going to be pain getting in and out because the platform holding the steering wheel will move forward to get in or out and when pulled in it will locked so it doesn't move.
and adding plywood will add stability but would still be flimsy side to side i new that so i will be adding some strapping on the out side of the cockpit were the steering platform will slide.

with the plywood tightly mounted on the floor of the cockpit and the strappings on the outside it will act as rails. This will also stop the platform from moving side to side.

know that it will have rails and be locked to the the main body the platform should be very solid.

what do you guys think of my racing cockpit it's not quite finished yet but it can now be used.

Sick job so far. Are you reverse mounting the pedals or keeping it traditional? Looks like you got the angle for em.

 

[steleb]

i'm gonna try but there is not proper way of reverse mounting the pedals since i'm using a DFGT
If anybody has some tips on how to reverse mount the DFGT pedals

 

[ozone]

ahh didn't notice that...my bad. Yeah I guess that makes it tough huh

 

[Energizerrr]

Great design and so far so good.
I'm looking forward to seeing how will this turn out.

 

[steleb]

i'm not going the reverse mount the pedals since it ill be to much of a pain but i might modify the pedals so i can mount some aftermarket pedals

 

[steleb]

just added 2 blue LED's to the cockpit i will upload the pics of them on when i add the 2 other LED's

[Ghertel]
