My cockpit project - Roy

[Roy Visser]

Updated 17 August

Step One
Purchase The Seat:
Sparco Sprint V FIA Approved
Sparco Seat Frame
Sparco Seat Slider Frame




Other Purchases:
Monitor: Samsung 225MW (due to height adjustment and design preffered over its newer brother)
Keyboard: Logitech G15 (my second one )

Step Two
Calculate your preffered Seating position, and notate this as good as you can, with all different measurements. A good position goes a long way!!




btw, this is by far not the finished height of my simulator! Already added height of floor and G25 shifter position to my drawing with measurements
Step Three will have the building plans


(was planning on doing more today, but i had to reweld my exhaust system under my car )

Fase2

take some wood



screw it together



make it look like something



Use some sanding paper (well, allot actualy ;) ) And voila, you got a simulator!



tomorrow fixing it with some bondo and base paints

and then think about a design for the side

Fase3!

Now in my computer/multimedia room





had the first sit downs, and its perfect! If its fully installed, im never getting out of this!

Fase4!

Made the "casings" for the computers (one on the left of the simulator, one on the right) Had to make a door in the right one, because i would like to get behind the pc for small adjustments too

The "bridge" between the casing and the simulator is for wire transport, underneath the main "desk" there will be a flap with hinges so i can get to the wiring easily too!

got myself some carpet today too



almost done!!
