Baj Posted 11 June, 2009 Share Posted 11 June, 2009 Ive just bought a VERY good racing wheel set up (Logitech G25) and will eventually build a racing pod in the garage to sit in and play, but in the meantime (realistically thatll be next year) I need a solution that means i can play in my lounge for 12 months. I dont want to fork out £300 for one of these racing seats, so im open to suggestions as to what other people do. Remember, this is a sim level wheel, the feedback on it is immense, so whilst cheapy wheels might cope stuck to a crappy portable dinner table, im not sure this will. ideas?

Ponty Posted 11 June, 2009 Share Posted 11 June, 2009 Get yourself an old Recaro or Cobra style bucket seat off eBay and knock together a frame to sit it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baj Posted 11 June, 2009 Author Share Posted 11 June, 2009 Methinks you need to re-read my post. I need something easy for the lounge, a bucket seat is hardly portable... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponty Posted 11 June, 2009 Share Posted 11 June, 2009 Meh, they weigh nothing and would be a feature needed for your forthcoming racing pod anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baj Posted 11 June, 2009 Author Share Posted 11 June, 2009 The weight isnt the issue, the space is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponty Posted 11 June, 2009 Share Posted 11 June, 2009 Simple then, stick the missus's chair out in the garage for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommi Posted 14 June, 2009 Share Posted 14 June, 2009 What games do you play with your G25 Baj? rFactor....?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baj Posted 14 June, 2009 Author Share Posted 14 June, 2009 My racing pod will be for rFactor yeah, but until thats built its mainly for Grid on PS3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommi Posted 14 June, 2009 Share Posted 14 June, 2009 what series do/will you play on rfactor? I highly recommend the Megane Trophy (the only one i play) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baj Posted 14 June, 2009 Author Share Posted 14 June, 2009 At the moment my only experience with rFactor is on the sim at Race Centre in chandlers ford, driving the Formula BMW's, GP2's and F1's. So i've literally touched like 1% of what the game has to offer, would be really grateful to hear of other things the game can do that you recommend.

Baj Posted 14 June, 2009 Author Share Posted 14 June, 2009 Just watched http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-6377124003031149180 , those meganes do look fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommi Posted 14 June, 2009 Share Posted 14 June, 2009 This could take a while........!I'm not sure how much you know about rfactor but basically it's a community developement game - download the binary from the internet, and then develop your own cars/series/circuits/setups/engine maps/telemetry (the list is endless) or just download what others have produced! rFactor can do everything any other racing sim can do and then about 10 times more. IMO it is the most advanced and respresentative racing simulator out there - hence why most F1 teams use it in their simulators. Don't bother with the F1 sim -it's not that great to be honest, just download the megane series (v2.02), download some circuits - join up to an online game and prepare to be amazed... http://www.rfactorcentral.com is the place to visit, also give me a shout on tommit@gmail.com and i'll send you over some stuff in more detail. I usually play on line with a few mates, we have an audio server which we connect up to and chat whilst racing - sounds a bit geekish but it adds to the fun. The only problem is that to be any good at it yo uhave to put the hours in (genuinely) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baj Posted 14 June, 2009 Author Share Posted 14 June, 2009 Sounds fantastic mate, ill drop you an email. Yeah, i was "aware" for what rfactor can do, but obviously I've no experience with it other than on the sim racers. I really enjoy the F1 sims, but enjoy racing more than enjoy speed, I actually prefer racing the Formula BMW's. Will pop you an email now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
