What simracing rig do you use?

As the title suggest I´m curious about your simracing rig.

After my move I had some problems to fit my steering wheel on my desk, because the desk edge is too wide. Therefore I had to think about an "easy" solution and came up with the idea of a narrower plank and screw clamps. That seems to work.




Because of I wonder if I´m the only one which such ideas/problems. Or do you use majoritarian a "play seat" with three monitors (probably even VR)?
Apart from that just a better desk is also an option

 

I use a Sim-Lab GT1, G29 Wheel and a 24' single screen.
It seems to get me through most of the races allright

But I want to try VR to see if it improves my driving. A direct drive wheel is in the planning too

 

That Sim-Lab GT1 looks interesting, seems that the seat is not included in that package. Did you buy the seat separate?

I never tried VR but I fear that feeling of the VR could make me feel sick. But I agree trying it would be interesting.
And reagrding to the high-end wheels, well looking at all that is probably like visiting candy land but then you look a the prices

 

I already had a racing/bucket seat so I didn't have to buy a new one.

And the pricing of those direct drive wheels is a bit on the high side yes. If they were cheaper I would have had one by now

 

A chair with wheels? I tried to race with a standard office chair. But I had a problem with that because as soon as I touched the brake pedal, the chair was moving backwards. Do you have or had that problem, too?

Sounds impressive!
Probably nobody can beat that or has to be atleast a "home constructor" like you. Except for somebody who build a pneumatic motion simulator.

 

4play rig (Texas company)
Fanatec 2.5 and 3.0 pedals

 

Here's mine:
3x 2015 Vizio E series 42" tvs (last of the "dumb" tvs from Vizio, no stupid image "enhancement" software to add lag).
Some EXTREMELY fancy Ikea coffee tables
Original Playseat v1.0, mounted on some plywood, that is then mounted on 8 plastic office chair wheels.

I think you won it Scott. Most creative I have seen so far.

 

I've got a pretty basic set up, wheel stand ( which is handy as when your not racing you can move it aside ) G27, 24 inch single monitor.
I'm thinking of getting VR, I have a GTX 970 which would be minimum spec for VR I think, prices of VR are dropping.
Have any of you seen or tried this ?

Edit: Just did a quick price check on the pipes and fittings and it came to £95.

 

I personally wouldn't do VR with anything less than a GTX 1070 GPU Norman, I have read a lot of people not getting the best experience from their VR spectacles in simracing with anything less. Even my 980ti which is a 1440p card doesn't do VR very well and is limited to 45fps in games like pCARS2 in VR mode rather than the 90fps which is more preferable for simracing.

As to not venture too far off topic from the OP... I'm running a Simlabs GT1 cockpit, DSD Race King LED button box, Huesinkveld handbrake, Fanatec v2.5 base with Formula carbon rim and BMW touring car rim along with Fanatec V3 inverted pedals. I have a Thrustmaster TH8A for SQ and H pattern shifting also but not attached just now.

 

Some very nice sim rigs here. I don't have any photo, but:
T500RS with T3PA Pro inverted, Ferrari F458 and F1 wheel, Playseat Challenge, 3x24" Benq GL2450, this on a very regular desk.

and a Kenwood ampli-tuner + double deck + cd player

 

well done! fell free to share the blueprints dor the design
i wouldn't mind taking a look
