Is it possible without a cockpit?

[sezgi]

Dear Friends,

I am a starter for GT. Because this is my first Playstation 👎

I am going to buy a wheel ( can be g25) but i dont have money to buy a cockpit. So i got a question for the ones who has experience about this:
How can i play without a cockpit? I play the game infront of my sofa in the living room. Where i can put the wheel on my knees ? How i make myself confortable?

I need help!!

If you are using a G25, you need something to attach it to. A cockpit or a desk is needed. You cannot use it on your lap.

I don't know. I would never use a lap attachment. As far as I'm concerned, you need something secure and solid to attach your wheel to.

Plus what do you mean with desk?

Desk

A sturdy desk that inst too thick to attach the clamp to. the old Logitech Driving Force or Driving Force Ex is a good lap wheel.. but playing w/ a wheel in your lap sucks compared to on a desk. I don't know if the Ex comes with the lap attachment. the driving force wheel works on the PC, so i assume the EX does as well...

If you are going to race with a wheel in your lap why not just use a gamepad?

If you really must have it in your lap get a non force feedback wheel with little resistance very cheap... It´s just pointless to use a wheel that way it gives you no more feel of actually driving a car then a gamepad does if you don´t mount it correctly.

I would really advice you to get a cockpit... the Renoseat is very cheap and I have many simracers that are very happy with it... If you live in the US the Obutto is very affordable as well. It´s heavier and thus higher shipping costs then the Renoseat.

I find it´s much more comfortable gaming from my cockpits (used playseats earlier) then from a sofa or similar better ergonomics can sit in it for hours

oqvist you are right. But i live in Turkey and the shipping cost will be too much for such a heavy cockpit. In Turkey i ve never seen somewhere which sells cockpit So can you recommend me some places for low price cockpits?

opelgt1969 thanks for the picture. If i cant buy a cockpit, i will go to a carpenter and ask him to create me something like you have but painted black and better view ( no offence

 

[oqvist]

search for the renoseat then . I am never sure if it´s renoseat or rinoseat or rhinoseat lol. It´s about 240 euros I believe all in all

in USA i got a great cockpit for 220 bucks.. a playseats evo chair...

but if u cant afford one... build your own.. or modify an older table or something.. there is a thread here with custom cockpits that should give you ideas on how too...

even something as simple as this can help you a lot
