I think I'm finally at the point now where I can show this off properly. For rigs I started out with a PVC pipe rig, then onto a wheel stand that was donated by @stucar17, then onto this NLR F-GT cockpit. My first wheel was a Thrustmaster T80, which I believe was also donated by Stu (and has since been donated to another member), then onto a Logitech G29 which was sold to me by @v8power383 when he moved onto a better setup. Now for the current setup...
PC:
- AMD 5600X
- RTX 3070
- Gigabyte b550m DS3H motherboard
- Corsair Vengeance 32GB RAM @3600mHz
- 1x WD 1TB m.2 nvme SSD
- 1x Crucial 2TB m.2 nvme SSD
- Kogan 34" ultrawide monitor (3440x1440p, 144Hz)
- HP Reverb G2 VR headset
- Custom built tofu84 keyboard (for desk) and MS media keyboard with trackpad (for cockpit)
- SteelSeries Rival 3 mouse
- Xbox controller
- PS5 controller
- Logitech G933 wireless headphones
Cockpit:
- NLR F-GT cockpit (formula position)
- Thrustmaster TS-PC Ferrari 488 edition wheel
- Thrustmaster T-LCM pedals
- Fanatec Clubsport SQ v1.5 shifter (sequential mode mostly)
- Fanatec Clubsport v1.5 handbrake (vertical)
- Custom 3D printed extension plate for shifter mounting to bring it closer to me (common issue in formula position which I use)
Because I only use one monitor at the moment I have an adjustable arm so it can swing over in front of the cockpit, but I mainly use the VR headset unless a game doesn't support it. The most recent additions are the shifter and handbrake, and once I stop instinctively keep going for the paddle shifters and go for the SQ instead I'll be golden. While the Thrustmaster gear isn't super fancy the jump in quality from the G29 to it was astronomical and I'm really enjoying it.
