Driving Simulation Setup

[Jedjames01]

I am trying to build my own simulation cockpit that somewhat represents a real driving experience. Right now i have a really cheap, homemade stand that wobbles a lot but works well for my Logitech G27. I wanted to know if anyone else had any ideas or pictures for builds that are cheap and very realistic. I mainly play games like euro truck simulator 2 and beamng.drive. Thank You.

If you're building a simulation cockpit, MAKE SURE YOU GET TVS. They typically work a lot better than monitors because of their size.

^^ It's really hard to play on a small screen. A large TV makes it MUCH more realistic. Especially if you have more than one, that way you can look around with moving the camera much like a real car.

What kind of seat, like a playseat or an actual seat from a car i have thought about both and i can get both but which do you think would be better?

Ok do you mean like 32" or like 50"?

Look for a single seat, not a set. Of course from an actual car.

It'd be better to have like three 27" monitors or a single large TV.
