    In 2017 I bought a used rig and tested playing. I thought it was incredibly fun, but we had just had our second child and there was neither time, space nor money to continue the hobby.

    Now it is 2023, the children are older and there is at least a little more time/money.

    Last year we bought a farm where we live now. I have started converting one of the warehouses into a playroom.

    Follow my quest to get back and on there until I build room + 3dof rig, step by step

    I would like to talk about the plan on how I’m going to reach my goals.
    I will take this in project in many steps so I can use everything meanwhile the build proceeds.
    Step one is clear the other ones may change a bit of course

    Step 1
    · Logitech g29 wheel and pedals.
    · Cheap rig just to have something to sit in
    · I have a 27” 4k monitor that I will use
    · I will use my powerful laptop to start with (I have a gaming computer loaned out to my sister’s son that I will get back)

    Step2
    · reinforce the rig with aluminum profiles
    · buy shakers

    Step3
    · add 2 more monitors
    · build monitor stand

    step3
    · start build 2dof frame

    step4
    · build wind support

    step5
    · start build 6dof

    I found a bunch of these, does anyone know if there is enough material in the length or if it will flex? there will of course be parts for the steering wheel and etc, it will also stiffen up
