There is joystick in "my" hands, but can't see on pic.

Heres my final set up-

the wheel mounted on hinge- so it ducks down under the monitor upsidedown and another piece on a hinge comes up and take the empty wheel space for my KB mouse for other none racing game

I can post more pics if someone needs the set up- i was lacking space so needed it

new computer being built- AND many reason to have a bad ass computer just cus it looks amazing and your not stuck only playing certaing game you get to play all games you'll ever want- for a time then upgrade time or video editing or other stuff

See computer on bottom looks way better then a cheap computer just sitting there MY old set up had to loose my dual :-(

Show picture might help get ideas on how to work around it- maybe cut part out of the rounded edge to allow flush mount of the wheel

heres what i got- downgrade from dual monitors but more real feel with the cockpit- made by myself- wheel is on hinges and ducks under monitor-another peace pops up for kb during none racing games

Ya the keyboard and mouse are on a sliding thingy. If you pull it tho to the maximum it gets in way of your legs. You can glue 2 wood parts (red color) to hold the part where you gonna put your keyboard and mouse (blue color) Make railings for the sliding (yellow color) attached sample image

ok thanks- just wanted to know if it gets in the way of the legs- if so wont work out as good since i also playing shooting/other games so it will be uncomfortable to have them in way of legs or be all squished when playing. hence less time playing do to lack of comfort playing.

thank you. first pic i saw with Kb under so very helpfull- i guess i need to find another way to do it. right now waht i did was center the chair/wheel and shifter to desk. whenever i play anyother games all i do is unscrew wheel and move it all the way to left. but being how lazy i am and dont wanna take time doing that wanted a simpler solution.

Thanks again your pic and info was helpfull. will post pics up once my computer gets back from accross the country(being upgraded) to see if anyone could i=help me find solution.

PS: Dont laf about my computer Its temporary

how does that work put with KB under the wheel like that? i guess its a pull out- it dont get in way of legs when u pull it out? i'm looking on a good way to make my desk set up work to where i dont have to move wheel to side when i wanna use the kb on other type of games. right now i have to move my whole chair to the right and use the other monitor but that getting tired some.

any sugestions?

Quote from Xenix74 :

Handbrake tip:
A tip for the G25 & 27 users is (when you use the h-shifter) to use the Seq Shifters as the Handbrake. (like some real Rally Cars, they have a Handbrake on the Wheel behind the Seq Shifter)

Use the Logitech Profiler or Joytokey to bind a key on the Seq Shifters (both side same key, maybe Alt or Shift) and then go to your Game an config the Handbrake as this Key.

Works Great and you dont need to put the Hands away from Wheel during you "drift".

good idea. only thing is some cars ask for the paddle shifter for shifting(if that what u mean. like me i love using all cars in game.

i have also tried using my clutch as the e-brake. that worked ok but it was funner to use it as real clutch and no auto clutching in game. hehe

the whole point on having joystick(dont have e-brake to soder into a button.) is just to make game a lil more realistic and gotta admit. set up looks sweet having it. would love full car dash and stuff like others have but that just out of my reach(for right now atleast)

Quote from JasonJ :

@fabiESCO

Yep i have atk3 setup as handbrake on an angle, check my sig for details. But put it same place as your real car has it, because when i drive IRL now I always go for the HB next to my leg and its outside the stick IRL. So in an emergency I can't find it fast :/

Reason I put it there is so I could grab it with pinky finger when shifting ^_^ bad idea now though.

that helps. thanks. i keep running into a lil trouble when i set everything up. once i get out then come back in it looses my configuration. or tries to make my joystick the primary(i do have on logitech profile my wheel as default)

yep- some pics please. not so much to say(yes u do) but always sweet to look at.

computer sounds espensive so must mean you got some badass set up to go with it.


as for me might set up my ATK3 joystick as my ebrake. will need to add it behind or side of shifter.. not sure what would help more any idea?(yes will have it angled so it pull up like real e-brake) i havnt found a picture of someone using this set up. would be usefull if you guys now any

as my revers mount pedals i got enough space for that

my computer getting upgraded and cockpit still it design mode.. will post pics once i have them.

Quote from Xenix74 :

Thx guys
Now i need a second Beamer for 180 degree look and a two Axis force motion. Then its perfekt for me

very nice indeed.. i just dont have the time to build something like that or i would.. would make the game that much better to race in.. for now i stick to what i got.([posted a couple pages back)

and great idea on using 2nd small monitor for dash- didn't think of that. might use it for my next desk build

Quote from Feffe85 :

Sure mate, i always take pictures of both the removal och things and rebuild of my computer :P

2 of the pictures was taken with the old setup, and 1 with the new (the one with the dual fan on the RAM) Got more pictures but cant find them right now :S

looks nice.. i always see a lot of fancy shit in peoples computer and it looks freaking awesome.. i dont know much of what all those thinga are for but looks great..



my inside looks simple compared to your guys. i only wished the video card would be able to go upsidedown.. had the cool picture and fan n the bottom cant see it.


mmm about time to clean my inside..

Quote from dadge :

imo, the graphics card is letting you down bud.

i know but with the money i had for the tower that i could get at that time. I only play games, no video editing or other graphic programing. i have played most new game out there on full graphics with no lagg or performance drop. so it great for me.

Yet a better one would be nice- just not needed now.
