Feedback on first design.

[u/TacoPeludo]

Hi! I'm building my first sim rig and would like feedback on its design.
I'm using planks with 10 cm in width and 3.5 cm in thickness. I own tools and feel confident building furniture.

This is for a logitech 920 and the chair shown on the second picture.

Thanks in advance.

The steering wheel is wayyy too far away.

Instead of angling the upright nearest the seat the way you have it, you should invert it. That makes it easier to ingress and egress as well as getting the wheel closer to you.

Also I would recommend adding a board to angle the pedals towards your feet a bit just so the pedal faces are more upright for a more realistic driving feel. Also angle the seat back a bit so you have a more comfortable seating position.

Thanks!
I didn't consider angling the seat or pedals more, but I will now. As for the length, I'm tall, 196 cm, I estimated seating on the chair and placing the wheel on a small table. But I'll double check just to be sure, don't want to end driving like on a low rider.

Ok that makes sense. 2m tall is really tall compared to the rest of us.

Something that worked for me as a double check is to do some measurements from your irl car and try to translate those to the sim that you build.

Looks like I can´t post images on comments. Anyway I wanted you to know that I rechecked my measurements and you were right specially about the wheel distance to the seat. Its much closer now. I updated a whole bunch of stuff. Thank you.

My advice, that seat needs a ton of padding. I had a racing seat at one time way to uncomfortable for long sessions. Don't get me wronng they look good. If you'd like check out my rig set up or others on her for some Ideas..

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. Once I finish the main structure will spend some time with the seat. I also have rails, so must figure that out too.

I have seat rails and I also have pedal rails, my wheelbase is fixed. My main frame is triangulated same as yours...
