Show your cockpit

[Marcel Hulsbergen]

I think you need to place the wheel more flat, i mean now there is a curve. On default the wheel is like a truck wheel. in a race car the wheel is almost vertical placed. When i attach my wheel to the desk, i have no cockpit, i always put an Edding 3000 pencil under it, on the back side of the wheel. Then your wrists will not hurt because there is no angle in the wrists.

Try is out and you will see it feels much better with a vertical wheel.

Here is my cockpit, it isn't so cool as the ones i have seen here but i like it very much...and with my new samsung 226bw 22'' 2ms all races seems reals!!! the only thing i need now is a seat!!!
On the left side of the wheel u can see my pocketPC hp1940 with tomtom GPS so i will never loose the right way to the finish line LOOOL

[Roy Visser]

im going for a GT/NGT style wheel, which actually always have the wheel under this angle

F1 style cockpits it needs to be straight though!

[David Garcia]

Yes... I think Marcel is right. I had this problem when I build my cockpit, I had to add a special board to the steering wheel, being little inclined to have it as Marcel says. But it´s true tyoo, in real cars the wheel is as you fixed it in your cockpit, you shall find the most confortable to your standards.

I like a lot your concept of cockpit Roy, it fits pretty weel in you roffice... keep it on.

[Roy Visser]

thanks for the thumbsup's guys




this is what it looks like now, and it will stay a while this way till i got my seating position perfectly sorted out (pedals are good, but need to find the correct steeringwheel position)As you can tell i am quite a neat freak when it comes to wires, most of them are hidden behind doors


lots of work though

[ZiOn(SiM)]

Very nice Roy!
respect for doing it all by your self!

do you have removable seat to get in there?

[Attila Domján]

Roy, i would like to invite you to do some rework activities at my flat also, just tell me when you have time....

[Sven De Nys]

Truly looks amazing !!! Too bad I don't have enough space in my room

[Renaud de Munck]

simply magnificent! Congratulations, that could just be ripped from one of those professional team simulators!
BTW: do you use manual clutch? (cause in real wtcc, they don't have that)

Oh how you wanne drive than whitout clutch?

if i have it good there is a dubble or tripple plate clutch in the car.

The BMW have H pattern i think that are Dogboxxe. The rest off the cars Syncquentel gearbox

for shifthing the don't use clutch bud for drive from standing the stil use clutch

[Roy Visser]

use clutch for certain stuff in GTR2, not in WTCC (only start though) but mostly in GTL and TDU


worked all day on seating position:

Before:



Steeringwheel much to high and far, lots of ackes in shoulders!

After:



Steeringwheel lowered to lowest possible position, and a little bit more near to me. Felt already way better and relaxed, which it hopefully is

thanks for maik for hearing me complain and helping out with the position

looking at the pictures it might not look as a big deal, but it is this crucial!!

[Attila Domján]

Heeey without a helmet you look completely different!

[Maik Peters]

whaha... Nice comment Neo
Btw Roy, it looks much better indeed

Ready to build a new one?

[Bram Hengeveld]

Roy since when do you live in the local "Videoland" store?

Muchos respectos to the cockpit, since last weekend i know how comfortable it feels to drive in a fixed position!

[Attila Domján]

Heeey Bram, i somehow have a feeling you need to post some pictures too... lol

[Bram Hengeveld]

Then i first must find a way to export my photo's from my cellphone to my pc!

jezus, that looks brilliant, and neo's cockpit too. But I've not enough money to spend that much. I'm staying with my G25! How much do your special wheels, pedals and shifters cost?

[Maik Peters]

He Roy Could you upload your final-blueprint?

And did you do any updates or what so ever on this design?

[Maik Peters]

He mark how is it going ?
Wonder how far you are ;)

Been using it as my main work station for the past 4 weeks now, works great, everything solid and as intended, managed to tweak my FFB profile to perfection for this rig now aswell

There is a bunch of info on what I did in that thread, since I last posted here.

[Warren Dawes]

Wow!!! Now that is impressive, congratulations Mark.
BTW, does the air conditioning work? lol (I see you have the vents).

[Maik Peters]

SUPER cool m8... really really nice!

[Mark]

NO air vents work, in fact, the double left hand side vent is being removed and having 3 gauges fitted in the hole, the right hand side vent will prolly be removed to fit a nice starter panel like this.....
