Just wondering who else on here has a racing cockpit set up. If you do post them up!
Here's mine (a work in progress):
There's videos of it in action in my sig.
This topic is locked from further discussion.
i did have my wheel and pedals (the standard xbox360 wheel setup), but i couldnt find a good way to mount the wheel. i've been sidetracked with too many other non-steering wheel games lately. but maybe i'll try to get something going again.
edit: and oh thats a SWEET setup man! I am jealous. I cant afford that nice of a setup though. but i have a REAL car that i love to drive :-) and my brother has a brand new lancer EVO. thats fun too!

Get that wheel set up an race! As for real cars, I'm driving a Cadillac Devillle (I'm a family man now) but I've had my share of fun cars. My first car was a 1985 Foxbody Mustang, and more recently I had a 2006 Nissan 350Z. Had to get rid of it though because it was only a two seater :([QUOTE="Talldude80"]Get that wheel set up an race!

yeah i hear u man. but you shouldve got a fast family car like a CTS-v :-) and yeah i'll let u know when i get my wheel set up, i need to find some people to race 1 on 1. racing a group of people at random is kinda stupid on Forza or Project Gotham.
[QUOTE="rileston333"]Lol.. ur picture really backed up the comment lol.daviwinn??? i was talking to the user with the spongebob pic lol. i accidentally clicked reply instead of quote lol.
^^ I would LOVE a CTS-V, but it may be a little out of my reach right now :( My wife really wants either a new Charger or Camaro so our next car will be one of the two. daviwinn
Love the setup, makes me wanna play Forza some more, but as for a Camaro or Charger, the Camaro drives really nice, I test drove one one day but just couldn't afford it.
I'm scared to add it all up. I've been buying stuff for it for years now a piece at a time. Probably close to $2500 now.That's awesome, what was the final price for all the equipment?

Gonna be another year before we're ready to buy it, hopefully we can find a good used one.
I had a few days off and spent some time working on my racing rig. I got my shifter mounted to the playseat. I bolted two brackets together, drilled out the wholes so a 1/4 inch bolt would fit through and bolted it all to the shifter plate. The cable that plugs into the shifter goes on the bottom of it, so I either had to create something that elevated it a couple of inches or mount it offset the way I did.you have 3 360s??I also added the seat slider to the playseat so I can get in and out a little easier.
Then I got a few bed risers to elevate the table the monitors are on. I was going to build something out of wood, this was much easier and didn't cost much at all. While I had the drill out I went ahead and hard mounted the wheel.
The last thing I did was hard mount the pedals to the playseat. A few more minutes with the drill and I was able to bolt the pedals to a steel plate, then bolted the plate to the playseat.
Here's a video I made explaining how it all works. My triple screen Forza racing setupdaviwinn
I made a new gameplay video of me trying to chase down M. Rossi (all assists off, except braking line, AI on hard). I starpped the camera to my forehead (lol) so you can see the rig from my perspective when racing.

The first lap is out of frame, so I recommend skipping until 1:40 or so in if you watch it.
