    Hi,

    This is my first 2DOF simulator.
    Cockipt is a T1000 2motion by Prosimu (Fr).
    The triple screen stand and keyborad stand are made by JCL (Fr)
    The speakers stands are homemade.
    Wheel is a T300.

    Some pictures :

    In the back it is the same computer, the screen is the same than the sim center screen, I use a cheap HDMI splitter :

    EDIT:

    The screen 4 behind the PC is and add display (not include in the nvida surround).

    Thanks for posting your very nice rig. I would love to see a video too. How does the motion feel? no motion sickness so far? That seat looks awesome, is it comfortable after a 2 hour racing session?

    Also, what is under the actuator, like a silver plate to protect the wood floor perhaps? Back to the motion intensity, are the actuators strong enough where you needed to dial the intensity down or do you have them at full strength? Thanks in advance!

    Superbe réalisation !
    Nous aurions aimé voir la motorisation.

    Superb achievement!
    We would have liked to see the engine.

    The motion is good, you will see on the video.
    Yes the seat is comfortable as a standard bucket seat.
    After 2 hours, I'm tired... :grin

    La motorisation c'est juste les 2 vérins à l'avant qu'on peut voir sur les photos.

    Thanks ... :thumbs
    BTW ... What is the price of this T1000 cockpit ? and you've mentioned an HDMI splitter I assume it is for duplicating the center screen only !!! It can't be use to the side screens, right ?

    Price of T1000 is 2000€ with the motion feature (I think it is very reasonable for a commercial product with actuators).
    Yes, here the hdmi splitter duplicate the centre screen, but it can be used with the screen you want... (you can arrange displays as you want)
    You can also use DVI splitter or Display-port splitter, it is the same, but more expensive, it's why I choose to duplicate hdmi (only $18) :

    Amazing my friend ... :thumbs
    But I think you don't have enough Roll [side to side movements ]...
    I see you don't have Roll at all ...
    With all these twists in the road your chair doesn't tilt an inch ...
    Maybe your profile needs some tweaking :cheers
    take a look at this video to see what I mean ...

    Nice videos and nice racing too!

    I can see the strong movement on accelaration and braking...do you feel strong and accurate side (left/right) forces, for example when rounding a corner? EDIT: saw somemovement at 3:22 so I guess your answer is yes.

    Can you post or describe the cables coming from the actual rig like the actuators...how do they connect to your PC and was it hard to conceal them? Does one actuator connect to another then one gets plugged in or do they both have plugs?

    I like how nice the rig looks, great finish and looks strong and rigid! Enjoy it, it looks like a lot of fun!
