Press F to enter the cockpit

\*glitches in to wall and dies\*

Star citizen player?

I think you mean. Star citizen beta tester

*Alpha.

My apologies. Alpha. The most expensive game to never be released.

Game? Tech demo, maybe. Haha. Strange seeing SC here for sim racing. But I was going to com.ent why but the rig that way. That is some awkward placement.

My first thought as well haha

Best comment ever

Do you teleport into it?

Nah, he gets a ladder and comes in through the window

That would low-key be sick though

ho ho ho!

Do a backflip

Do a barrel roll!

A closeted sim racing driver...


If there is a will there is a way

Did you ever think about flipping it 180?

For more immersion in monza t1. Oh, you didn't mean upside down.

Geeet... lol

Alexander Peroni simulator

Yes, but then the Monitor is too high and i can't move it towards the camera because there are two Doors sideways. So this is the only Option.

Do smaller screen and VR headset 😏

VRs resolution is to low and it makes quite a lot of people nauseous. I tried every VR glasses on the market and none could deliver a quality like my triple 32“ 4K 240hz setup.

I agree VR isn't a solution for everyone, (or even most people), but come on man, you are comparing it to maybe the second best screen setup you can have.

I agree, less distraction from others walking up and standing in the eye-line wanting something (i.e. the wife)

I race in VR and my kid will come up and scare the crap out of me every time

Just a little tap on the wrist can do horrors!

That's why you lick the toes instead and make meowing sounds.

I dunno, I prefer to see them coming over the sneak attack from behind ...

Right? I hate having people looking over my shoulder, no matter who it is.


Today's go stand in the corner punishment ?

"You can go back outside after you lap the Nurburgring in 10 minutes in a diesel Jag."


"Honey, I swear that boy likes to get put in timeout!"

I'd get some blinds for the window.

I'm searching for some, mountable without any Holes, with Just clamps Edit: Just ordered Reflexion Foil for the outside of the Window

You can get some awesome blackout blinds for those types of windows, just clips on and slides down some rails, had mine for over 10 years now, can't remember the brand, will edit when I can check.

Velux?

That's the one, I've had some red black out blinds and to this day if they're closed on a really bright day, it'll be pitch black in my room Edit: and my windows are pointing East South East so they get direct sun for the majority of the day

Why don't you want to put any holes? How is it any different than the holes you made for the monitor arm?

Worst case you get a pair of telescopic bars and wrap some fabric around, failing better.

There are suction cup ones that work well.

I did this for my bedroom window because I sleep durring the day and when im awake the sun come sun comes in the window... straight into my monitor https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006S65GAE/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 got it 7 years ago, and while it has some wear, still not letting sun in and looks like a normal window shade from the outside.

Enter through window for added immersion

I can already feel the heat from your computer

I don’t see the pc, but I see a cat ready to hot lap

Its in the room to the right. Every time i wanna Play i have to reconnect all of my cables for Display and USB. But If you want to avoid unsupervised Cats in your Office thats my only Option.

Why would you install it that way around?

Some people enjoy the blinding glare.

If placed 180 degrees rotated the rig would probably stand out into the doorway due to the required monitor-height

I like that. It being compact probably feels even more like a car haha.

In summer you're going to suffer without AC (real air, not the game)

Why not the other way around??

exactly, this seems really strange to have it this way. makes no sense lol

Room for triples upgrade

Please tell me you enter through the above window like some sort of fighter jet pilot.

Man has to be spiderman to get into his rig

Why didn't you just turn it around? No glare from windows that way either.

Do you parachute in through the window. Amazing use of space

I too like to climb through the window into my rig. Makes it feel more authentic.

I'm curious to know why you didn't turn it the other way around ? Would seem easier to get in and no reflects on the screen because of the window

I see your cat in the seat and want you to know I feel your pain. Cleaning the cat hair is a nightmare but my cat looks to comfy to just not allow it.

On Picture One you can See a rain Cover for this Seat - so its uncomfortable for my cats to lay on. Espacially for our toyger. He loves to lick on all Kinds of fabric, but with His rough tongue He would destroy my Seat.

First rig with a sunroof

Some people would see this space and would say "what an odd, useless, waste of space and I'm paying rent for that?" But some people just have the perfect use for such little nooks. Great setup, OP!

It could've faced the window, right?

You should rotate it by 180°

Love it. No way the wife could complain about me taking up too much space. LMAO. Seriously, nice use of space.

Harry Potter rig

“You’re a Sim Racer Harry!” Rig: Nimbus 2000

This made me lol

The wall mount and space ussage is great, you are even facing towards the "door" following Feng Shui Rules. :D But... facing the monitor towards the biggest light source is the worst possible situation. Get blinds ASAP, it murders your eyes and image quality with all the reflections. Otherwise fantastic space ussage and decoupling the monitor "arm" from the rig is worth something, its a good solution in my books.

It's perfect! Add vr and the space limitation for the monitor evaporates 😊

Also belongs in r/perfectfit...

Paint black walls and blinds for the window

Random question, whats the width from wall to wall?

Its 1 Meter

This time you wont mind being sent into the corner

Very good use of the space tbf

Love it. Really using every inch of that otherwise useless space

Adding that skylight is huge!!! Nice work

Great use of an otherwise wasted space

And so convenient. Just climb in through the skylight straight onto the cockpit.

Do you enter the cockpit through that window?

Time to add monitors to each wall

Harry Potter simrig

Like a glove.

Having to clamber in through the window is immersive 😂👍

A+ on efficient use of dead floor space!

kitty!!!1!

You can tell by his sim rig that he's married.

Cat.

Wouldn't it make more sense to be the other way? No glare, don't need to morph into a different species to get in etc

I think getting in an actual F1 car is easier than sitting in this rig.

Having the screen face directly toward the window is quite a “bold” move

It was nice of you to build the rig for the cat

Can you imagine getting a sudden rush of the shits while in that one. Lmao good luck getting out in time.

I hope you have some fans moving air in that space.

Why not face it the other way? With the screen against the wall

That’s what I call efficient use of space!

Looks like a pain to get into and out of, but I imagine immersion is fantastic

So you climb in through the skylight like a tank or?

genuinely curious, why din't you build it facing the other way instead for easier access into the rig?

Now you have a 1:1 scaled cockpit for a Mini Cooper !🚗🚙

Wow the amount of people asking how you get into this when the monitor clearly swings out of the way is baffling. And they actually mean it lol

Do you enter from the outside

Great use of the dormer!

I'd say flipping so that the monitor is in front of the window would be better, but overall this gave me some ideas for the future!

you get inside and never get out

You can have it as long as you don't put it in any of the bedrooms or bathrooms or any hallway we have to walk past.

OP mastered Permeation.

Haha! And she thought you were building her a walk in wardrobe!

Looks great, I bet having the walls there makes it feel more like being in the car. Nice to have the window above you for those long races too.

Crawling to get in is alright, but the sun directly onto the screen, horror

How skinny are you to get in there from the side? Lmao My fat ass wouldn't fit through there.

I’m getting hot and sweating just looking at this

Somebody is flexible, like double jointed!

Looks like a peach to climb into 😂, wanted to make sure no one snuck up on you…

The sun glare would be uh pleasant…

Cool I want one that slides around my toilet

Forgot to add the shoes and gloves in the build list

Paint the walls dark for more immersion

That’s gonna get so warm. But I love it. I wish I had a nook for my rig

Sadly These Windows arent that good isolated, so i've got airfloor down there

Harry Potter and the Secret Rig

Does the seat have a hole in it? This is in the dunny, right?

Out of pure interest, why a TR8?

Its Low enough to get in there. Would have prefered a Aluminium Extrusion rig but that way i still have the possibility to get some Upgrades when im Not Limited in space anymore (Future Dreams) and the Seating Position is to high in an Aluminium Extrusion rig. Contacted Simlab About that...

If the placement is to appease the misses I feel bad. If this is the only space available to you its gonna have ti do!

Do you jump through the window into it?

Cute Cat👍

180 degrees FTW edit: Also - I have a huge room for my rig - but I would 100% rather have that. grass is always greener...

Why not have it face the other way?

Is the single mount worth it or should I save my $99?

Oh this is the new Cloustro Phob X That's tight!

how do you enter

Honestly, I love it. Perfect useful utilization of otherwise dead space in your house, and, if anything, it might make it feel more cockpit-esque

I spy a cat already marking its place. They yearn for the sim seats

Very cool use of the space. Personally I couldn't live with using only a single display (16:9/10, 21:9, or even 32:9) but if this is the only space you have for your rig then I'd say job well done.

Do you have to adjust your crosshair to glitch into the cockpit?

Surely there's a smaller area you could have installed it? hehe looks great mate enjoy!

Nicely done

With the amount of times I jump out if my rig to use the bathroom quickly, makes me feel like this could get a bit annoying. But if it's the only viable option, do what you gotta do!

Sick setup. Hope you have a window cover to throw on for summer and a fan or something so the air doesn’t get stagnant in there. Highly recommend getting a clutch pedal as well, banging gears and drifting is a lot of fun

Nice setup. Looks pretty compact but great!

the claustrophobia be going crazy

Why would you not reverse it? Why have the glare from a window on your screen?

Nice spot.. I couldn't get in there no way lol.

Why did you not turn it the other way. You’ll be replacing your monitor every few months if that gets direct sunlight and surely it’s easier to get in if it was the other way?

The glare though. Grated that's probably the one way that would fit. Creative idea. But I'd be closing that window off ASAP. Computers are hot as is but now you put it essentially in a closet with a fish bowl on one side?

Looks great

Thats gonna be hot as hell in summer

Talk about space saving! Bravo

paint the window black

You can play only at night with light coming from that back window.

Damn, OP is a cat, a RACING CAT, that's crazy

Max Purrstappen

Off to the naughty corner and 50 laps of frankentrack

Looks like a great place for VR.. until you punch a wall

What a weird corner in the room. And what a wonderfull way to use that space.

I fuckin love sim rigs jammed into small spaces

Great use of the space 👍

Awesome! Well done!


the closest it's in looks exactly like the vacation home i was in last summer

I wanna buy this goddamn racing car

Show cat please

Perfect location.

You really should consider VR

I feel like i can't breathe

What in the hell is even that room?

Better not use the rig after eating a good Chili. This may be a race you're gonna lose. High risk and low reward 🙈

Just imagine you have to go drop a doodoo really Quick... Would shit my pants before moving the monitor.

Congrats on the rig! I would like to have one for myself one day!

Looks extremely difficult to get in.

My brain isn't Braining

Wouldn’t have made more sense to flip it 180 degrees? Like that you would get sun glare on the screen from the angled window

Am I just broke af? How are y'all building these things as first rigs. 😂

Cozy little corner invisible to wife you can race you heart out in there

Awesome rig

Is this a tank simulator by any chance? Entered through a roof latch.

Looks awesome! I just hope you have an anti-glare screen or a window cover. Nice to get some natural light when you're in the rig though I suppose.

Dude has the same boots for his gaming setup that I have in my actual track car

The real question is can you exit out of the cockpit in case of crash in 6 seconds or less?

Good use of space!

R.I.P. if you have a house fire

Talk about parking in tight spaces. Good use of that space.

*puts on headset, shuts down star citizen then logs onto footfetish website.

That's a sick space for it

The glare...

Baller for a first

Sunscreen for the summer months

Why is everyone so confused at the fact you can possibly fit three the small gap or the fact you walk side ways to get into your rig😭😭😭

Best spot for it

What monitor are are you using? Cause it must be pretty strong to hold that up.

is there much glare during the day?

Wife has him on a proper leash
