If there were a cable I can get to plug into the wheel without changing these HD-USB pots Id definitely buy it, although I dont believe its available.
The conversion is quick with this rig and the G25 pedals are much better than those matched with my old red Momo Force.
Thanks for all the kind words guys. Good to see others in this thread with a similar passion for the hobby. I got my inspiration to build a cockpit after spotting nojars rig at RSC in the summer of 2004. Im sure he wouldnt mind me posting a pic.

Many of you have fantastic setups, nice work!
Jake, nice setup, I really need to get down to Conn and try that out! Is that a pair of Sennheiser HD-555 headphones I see in your photo? I ask because I just bought a set (ebay, open box, missing ipod jack-who cares?-$50) and was wondering how they work for you. Mine should be here today!
My cockpit is a 1992 Chevy S-10 bucket seat that I throw on the couch when it's time to drive. My DFGT and pedals are hooked to a small table that I can move around, so I just slide the wheel in front of the couch, and I'm off. Easy to break down and put away, I live in a tiny apartment, gotta be space-efficient.
Edit: New headphones rock!

By the way I use my TV (Sharp Aquos 32" 1080p) for both my television for ps3 and my computer monitor.
I also plan on getting a cockpit and possibly a G25 once I move, or by the end of summer.
How did you get that GT5 theme? It looks awesome 👍

You should definitely come to CT for a LAN meet. You'd fit right in there. 👍 EDK (Kevin) made the trip from CA a few weeks back and we had a blast.
The HD555 should be amazing. I bought the HD580 and I love them. I had them for a few years and I swear they get better with age. The wire unplugs from the ear cups which has saved the life of them many times when I get out of the cockpit too quickly. (total user error built right in) They are a dynamic 'open' set so I can still hear people talk while driving which is great when they think you can't hear them.... (that's you Barb!
) Picked up the PX200 for my girlfriends ipod as well. If I could, I'd get one of everything from Sennheiser.Had a great time racing with you online and hope to see you out there again.

This is where I browse and race ... I use the HD tv on its own when just simply browsing the net and the smaller screen is turned off, but I do swap to the small monitor for msn race arranging when GT5P is booted, no racing seat just a crappy pc chair that moves backwards sometimes due to its wheels 
.. but I can live with it for now 
Some absolutely awesome set ups posted already that really help with ideas on how to improve my own! cheers guys

After I changed my theme to that I got the wallpaper off the Playstation Store.

I like that background a lot more than mine. Where did you get it?

Hi mate, I got it from a thread here at GTP, in fact! all the theme's I have used on my PS3 so far have been his work 👍

Alba has created some seriously cool theme's and always worth checking in his GT5 thread every so often for any updates

That's the real essence of a cockpit, to make playing much more fun. I'd post a picture of mine, but it's not assembled and is back home just now. It's essentially 3 bits of timber, i still need a seat for it, i was using someone elses seat but he wanted it back for his rally carHi guys, here's mine:

It's not much, but me and my buddies have a blast playing GT5P here

@tonyt3rry: its the camera, cameras' have a hard time taking a good shot of an LCD tv/screen as they are natively very bright. They add a second light source to the camera which then has to try and figure out how best to take a shot. Also he's used flash while taking the photo which makes everything look a bit darker (apart from the G25 where it has appeared to focus) Ideally when taking a shot of an LCD screen, if you have an older camera, turning down the brightness/backlight of the tv will make it easier for the camera. Also turning off Flash helps alot too.
Anywho, my setup that i race you guys with from all the way at the bottom of NZ
The table was home made designed for the DFP. Since moving the G25 in, its become a little more cramped but still drivable. Had to be a mobile table so its easy to move for when i use it for other things, multiplayer games, movies etc. Works just fine for me. Not as grand as some of the other setups, but its tidy and does the job

Not as flashy as some setups I've seen here, but it does the work quite fine.

It gets the job done.
Mine is similar to yours. I used the exact same TV tray. But I used angle brackets to attach it to a piece if 3/4 plywood. The gallon milk jugs are filled with water, to make it more stable when cranking on the DF GT wheel. And it's in the living room, so I can move it out of the way when I'm not driving.

When flogging around Eiger I have to push my legs out to keep the thing on the ground.
Note that I have mine turned around so that the cross member is under my legs. It is a much better position for the pedals. I also like having the wheel closer to me.
