I need this sooooo badly. I played GT4 in this exact setup in the Sony Metreon (SF, CA) and it rocked so hard,....the 64" widescreen was juicy.

 

i can do it but it might cost an arm and a leg

 

I've been looking into this for a while now. I'm trying to get a good car seat and figure a way to mount it. That is a pretty cool setup.

 

i'd need to get a ps2 and gt 4 first lol

 

it's made by logitech...and it costs $1000USD

what a fucking rip-off...

it's no more than bending 2 bars, putting a seat on top of the frame and there you go. Unfortunately, I can't make shit cause I'm not a crafty ho..

 

me likes!!! 55M2G, can you reall build it? What's the estimated cost?

 

yea i saw that a while back i think it retailed for like maybe 350? and that wasnt including the wheel

nvm.. that person that said 1000 was right.. but i think i remember reading it didnt come with the wheel too

 

This is similar..... http://www.gameracer.us/

Around $500... and you need to provide your own wheel/pedals.

Oh and moving to Gaming forum

 

uhhh, that is way ugly and can't compare this logitech design by far!

You guys have to try it out. It's frickin' crazy! I feels like you are in the cockpit..then again, there's a 64" widescreen right in front of your face too. It's just sooo damn good...I'm thinking of going over to home depot to get some cheap wood to build something similar...it's really awesome.

For those who have yet to try the steering wheel, you need to. It will change the way you play this game. Makes it 10 times more fun.

 

here's another one, it's a more manageable $329... I mean, I actually know someone who bought this.

I would never pay like $1000 for something like this... it's a fricking GAME, I mean come on...

 

i want it for the sparco seat thats attached to it

 

If I had access to a pipe bender and mig welder I'd make my own. $1000 for that, wtf? Without that Sparco race-approved seat, your left with 30-40 bucks woth of pipe and paint.
But I found a prebuilt cockpit in a computer mag: http://www.scythe-usa.com/

It's the MSC-008 and I think it comes with the seat.

 

ok.... I think I could build something that looks better than THAT. did they steal those seats from an old airport lobby or something? or perhaps a bus station LOL

 

But there are only two pedals in the setups posted.
Can't you have one with three pedals and a shifter?
I mean, if I'm going to play GT4, I'm gonna want to neutral drop a McLaren F1 at 6800RPM.

 

cant do that.. no clutch support in the game

 

Lots of info on building race sim cockpits here:

This one is a pretty inexpensive alternative to a commercially built cockpit:

How dare you.

 

so, you'd spend $1000 on a seating apparatus for GT4... hey, to each his own.

 

no clutch, no real shifter... pass

Just buy a force feedback wheel and play on your bigscreen TV....

 

omg this rocks lol....

 

Fawk no.

I was saying that GT4 isn't just a game.
