That is very long and very cheap ! What's the brand ?

Ahah, yeah, it's the new Hi-Fi: a fantastic occasion to spend 10 000 when you start getting into it.

Those are... water bottles? Hah!

I guess I shouldn't talk. For a long time I stuffed my pedals against a giant art book full of art photos I didn't like.

I read recently about a "professional" American racing driver who got perm-banned from an internet sim racing server for hunting down and intentionally ramming other drivers.  Seems he has a history of this sort of thing.  The day after he got perm banned, he sold his SIX THOUSAND DOLLAR sim rig.  His excuse ... "it's only a game".

I wonder how many times this JERK got his fanny waxed by somebody sitting in a kitchen chair.

[Wallace Pinheiro]

Hi guys ,Any chair recommended? the racing/gaming chairs has wheels so its a no go i presume? or it have a way to use it?

I'm using a modest office fixed chair not so confortable and sometimes it slides back when using the brake pedal

[Russell Sobie]

You can find office chair wheels with brakes on them (I have some, but the brakes on them are pretty poor... but apparently there are good ones out there). You can also build one of these tacky looking things and chock your office chair wheels to something that is attached to your pedals.

Or you can get a Wheelstand Pro and hook one of your wheels in the base, like I do.

Or you can invest in one of these things (I do not have this, and I like still having wheels on my chair, but this does look pretty cool if you are going to have a permanent chair in front of your wheel):

Here is my self built all steel custom chassis/rig. Built using 1x3 and 1x2 .060" wall cold rolled steel tubing and various other steel stock. All tig welded.

OSW large MiGE SimuCube from SimRacingBay.com
Fanatec Universal Hub
Fanatec wheel rim
Fanatec V3 Inverted pedals w/upgrades
Fanatec Shifter
Fanatec handbrake
4 Aura bass shakers in chassis mode
5.1 surround w/8" sub under the seat in ported box
Rockville 400 watt (4 channel) car audio amp driving SimVibe
Rockville 3200 watt (5 channel) car audio amp running surround sound
I was running a single 1 killowatt PSU to drive both amps but have since switched to dual silent 600 watt PSU's (one for each amp)
Self built computer with Asus Maximus X Hero mobo, Intel Core-i5 8600K @ 5.1 Ghz on air (stable),  32 megs ram, Zotac GTX-1070 Ti Amp Extreme video card overclocked, M.2 drives in Raid-0 for OS and game files, 2 Samsung Evo SSD's for back up and other stuff all in a self built steel cage (still needs paint).
Triple screens are HP Omen 32 inch 1440 @ 75hz. fed by display ports.
The seat is from a 2003 Subaru WRX with recline, slider and height adjustment. It is still a work in progress as is the space it resides in. I am lucky enough to have a spare den in the house that my wife allowed me to commandeer for my sim racing obsession. Check out the video for a look at the build process.

That's some really good work Dauv. I bet everything feels really solid on that!

With a steel frame do you get some of the feedback from the wheel going through the frame and into the seat?

[Russell Sobie]

That is nuts. I don't think he's going to be able to feel any vibes from his wheel a FOUR pack of bass shakers on the frame itself.

I particularly like the aggressive angle on the side displays for the full wrap around look. My old oZone rig's triple monitor mount was too far away to allow for that strong of an angle.

I might have to stop looking at this thread or I might do something really stupid.

[Dauv McNeely]

Thank you Owen!

Yes, indeed I get some of the feedback into the main rig from the mige, it is pretty fantastic in games like R3 where you can individually adjust the FFB levels for various things.
The SimVibe setup adds to the immersion as well. I really like it.

The biggest advantage to the whole thing is just how stable the entire system is. I get absolutely ZERO movement in the monitors under heavy load. Additionally, the leveling feet that I added use 1/2" diameter threaded posts with rather thick rubber feet, so the whole thing is nicely isolated.
