Post your GT5 set up and man cave

[Jimmy_Pop]

nice.
As above has mentioned. Get the screen lower and just in front of the wheel.

You'd be amazed at the difference it makes to the experience and your lap times.
You want the horizon on the screen to be level with your eyes or there abouts. As it is its well above head height.
thanks for shareing

I've had it closer before, distance seems ok, but height could be lower. The problem was I couldn't mount the tv lower due to metal over the wood studs and unable to drill through it.

My solution once it warms up outside is to build a 6 inch high platform to lift the rig. This will also help with getting in and out of the rig as it sits about 6 or 7 inches off the ground currently.

Thanks!

Metal over the Studs would be protection plates for wires and such, You could try going even lower.

I kinda wanted to lift the rig anyways, to make it easier to get in and out of, the seat is super low to the ground, and I ain't exactly limber. It'll work out soon enough.

This is mine,
id get the screen closer if i could. But my options are limited with the wheel base being so big and i dont want to raise the screen height.

What's this button box you are using?

Its a USB Numerical number pad ($15).

A bit late to the party but here are a few pics of my PS4/XBONE set up.

Thrustmaster TX mounted on a WheelStandPro.

Logitech G29 hard mounted on a Next Level Racing wheels stand. This stand is remarkably stable but very heavy.

The two wheels discreetly stored away under the stairs after a day on the track.

Since I last posted here, I moved my rig closer to my TV, got a new seat, broke my steering wheel, got a new one, and lowered the rig.

Imo your FOV will suffer rather bad with the rig being so low and the TV so high. I would look to get the TV down or the Rig/seat Up some more.

Time to give this thread a bump.

It's more like a cabinet than a stand but I like it. Took about a week to build and paint.

 

[RACECAR]

Am I the only one that thinks this looks abit off?

Looks great but for whatever reason, the picture makes it look like a miniature inside of a dollhouse.

Added the blur in GIMP. (Ain't nobody gotta see them family photos!)

Thanks for the bump. I created another thread.

I'll have some new footage soon. Trying to work on something big, in conversation now with their tech guy. Stay tuned.

Here's my little man-corner! The PSVR and TH8A gearshifter just arrived this week. Got no money left to buy a VR game though. Really looking forward to Dirt rally VR and GTS.

My legs must be quite short. You just over 6ft?

Haha, yeah just over 6'2". It's not a good thing though... I'm aways whacking my head on stuff.

Reviving this thread to show off my homemade cockpit I finished today, using scrap wood I had lying around. The only thing left to do is cable management and start cleaning. Don't mind the mess.

I'm going to use the Logitech Attack joystick as a handbrake.

Those side monitors look like they're seconds away from falling.

They do, don't they.

 

[PocketZeven]

They do, don't they.

Perhaps put some pillows to catch them if/when they fall

They won't fall, I have hard mounted the monitors. I'm Belgian but I'm not stupid, you know.
