Project not completed, of course it will polished a bit

I'm using the vertical pedal, but I give attention on it to people who dont want buy second wheel and mess with it, but wants real handbrake - they can just obtain handbrake with build-in button and wire it to any button they have - on wheel/mouse/joystick/keyboard etc.

TODO in mind:

Wash the chair.
Fix all wires.
Buy steel wire rope and finish handbrake.
Use extra wood panels to complete side and rear outside walls.
Buy some carpet on floor and inside walls.
Paint or use glued plastic film to cutify outside walls. In Panda colors, I think. I've found that table in black(dark) color match incar game dashboard very well.
Screw buttkicker (as australian guy).
Order on ebay or dig old used PCI (not PCI-E, _PCI_) graphics card (Nvidia TNT2, MX440, FX5200 - nvidia becuse i't makes drivers for old cards on modern operating systems) any modern videocard already have 2 outputs, will be total - to 3 monitors. So it will possible to build not expensive 3-monitor layout.

Current (but not finished) condition, i recommend place it on old blanket/covering - it's silenter and not damages floor:





It's basically have 4 separate parts - easy to move from one apartment from another (i've oftently change apartmets due job conditions - 1-2 times/year): base + chair + tonnel and table. table are complete separated, other pieces easy to separate, because they are attachced to each another ones just by 2-4 screws.

Length of base: 150cm.
The width of the table, total: 76cm
The height of the table, total 59sm
Height "tunnel", total 30cm
The height from the bottom of the base to the bottom of the pedal: 11cm

Second wheel - dumb "Logitech Vibration Something".... - with 2 cellphone vibrators inside:



extract the brain:



Extra buttons should be used AS IS, or rewired:







It's dumb, but it uses no extra AC, so it's useful . I've obtain used one, for about 10$

Measure tonnel height:



And fix it:




Round red thing shows a magic box with button - if U have no extra wheel, U can obtain handbrake with this button and wire it to any button on your wheel. When U pull handbrake, there are a little switch becomes turned ON. Originally it's used to light stop signal on dashboard when u pull up handbrake @ car.

To begin I've armed with a ruler and come to the real car close to XFG class.
Since it was automatic I've used "drive" mode as center of shifter carter.



Simplifying, car seat attached to car by 4 feets stood on 2 rails on the floor. I've used forward rail as starting point, values in cm.
My smrace cockpit from old door and old cabinet

A month or two ago I've suddenly bumped to http://mysimracerproject.blogspot.com/.

Australian overclocker build the cockpit for the LFS. I've liked the idea, so decided to do a similar thread, also because "office" chair on wheels chair makes me mad for a long time while roll during the pedalling. There are also little fix - just because I ride in the incar view, i don't need real dashboard/etc, so I've done just the table.

Project took 2 evenings to build ( completed currently about at 70% ).

Since i'ts my first attempt to build something like that i've decided make it as cheap and simple as possible.




Project not completed, but I'm alredy enjoy it




More pics soon.

Windows minimize LFS if some programs show info/notify message or windows update message in tray. It's longer than year interrupt game!
