Show us your Rig / Cockpit

[Jim McGhee]

ok, mine. I am pretty lucky as I have 2 PC's I use this one for racing only, so its a pure racing rig. Its only just assembled, so a few things yet to go. The manufacturer is sending me and others and adjuster for the wheel and I think I might make some carbon fibre mods for it. The PC is water cooled. Its an e8600 - 6Gb 1.6Ghz DDR3 - P5Q3 Deluxe/WiFi-AP @n - HD5770 - RAID Sata2 - Vista 32bit - G25.

I plummed for vista as I have GTL too, though its not installed.. I am getting the bug back for modding so I am going to make my PC a bit more cool, then water cool the graphics too, which will be Crossfire too..

@Jim

The Beamer itself is perfect. He is also for homecinema use in my "mens cave". The angle is adjusted so, that the head isn't disturbing. But I will change something soon, because one screen is to less and the distance is to high / the size to big.

At the moment I look for 3 LED Beamers. No Problem with lamp life time, no worry if I just want to drive for 15min. Connected to a ATI 5870 that should be a nice triple screen setup.

I am kinda looking at that idea too.. is there a time limit on using a projector?

Lamp time is 3000h with mine, after that you have to spend 280Euro for a new one.

[Brian Clancy]

Very nice rig! Must be a bit hot in that outfit, especially in Spain!

 

[gonedns]

Lol, that outfit is only used for a photo session published in a national magazine called "Automóbil". I do not use it for racing

It's finished.
Today I've been busy for hours, fixing cables and making everything look spot on.
Here are the pictures, made with a good camera:

Frex Simconmotion and a replica Porsche GT3 seat.

Fanatec GT3RS steeringwheel with a Frex Sequential shifter.

My handmade CST-style pedals.

Nice peace of cable management at the front.

And some nice c-m at the back.

Image projected with the new Epson HD projector.

Even in the smallest projected image, it's just too big.

But it really gives a very realistic image!

And to wrap it up a nice overview of the new pc & Frex SCM.

Only thing left to do is add the SLI-Pro and make a buttonbox for the buttons (laying in the corner) and I'm finally fully finished with my setup.

PC:
Intel C2Q-9450 @ 3.6Ghz
Prolimatech Megahalems Rev.B Cpu cooler
60Gb SSD - OCZ Vertex 2

Coolermaster Stacker 832SE kast with 8 orange led-fans.

Seat:

WOW Jarno nice cockpit and clear work:good:

 

[Jose Ferreira]

Jarno, very nice cockpit, how's the feel?, feel like real moving?

 

[Jarno Hogeweg]

Yeah the feel is amazing, never going to sell this thing!
At my website I've added a video of the cockpit: http://clipto.nl (click on "simracen" at the left side)

Attached SLI-PRO and Buttonplate

Backside still needs some work

Speed, shiftlight indicator are shown at the SLI-PRO.

Seen from above.

my cokpit....

 

[Jose Ferreira]

Jarno, can you please tell me how much money you spent for the cockpit rack?, coz I am planning to buy a cockpit rack with movement I mean with feel.
Thank you

 

[Tom Moloney]

What are you doing in terms of rotary switches etc. for the SLI-PRO, Jarno? Looking pretty frigging awesome.

 

[Jarno Hogeweg]

Thank you

It's a Frex Simconmotion, you can buy it in Japan for about 2000 euro's.
Then you have some costs for shipping and import, it'll be about 3000 euro's for the set, as you have to buy a seat for it too.
But I've bought mine second handed.

What are you doing in terms of rotary switches etc. for the SLI-PRO, Jarno? Looking pretty frigging awesome.

Thanks
Have 1 rotary switch, it's located in the left at the buttonplate, I use it as brakebalance selector.
That's what you wanted to know?

 

[Tom Moloney]

So you don't have the ability to change the modes of the left and right displays at the moment then?

 

[Jarno Hogeweg]

You can set functions of the the arrow keys witch you use to scroll the ingame menu's to the buttons on the buttonplate, attached to the SLI-Pro.
I think that's what you mean, talking about the modes of diplays left and right?
