What a great bit of kit. I was totally addicted to GT, for a long time and would have loved a set up like yours. Best I had was two 6' x 4' screens with linked consoles playing GT3 through two projectors - like life size. 14 of us (all well skilled and mega competitive) had an 18 hour session. All aged between 19 and 42. What a blast it was. Shame we had to give the gear back to the AV company the next day. Haters have low self esteem issues. They speak and expose it to the world. Laugh!
You're right, because so many car in this game, some are typical street car with manual H-shifter & clutch, some are light mod sport car with sequential shifter and pro race car with pedals shifter.
@adaorlando Thank you! Nice to meet you. : ) This cockpit is continue in develop. The latest mod is equiped NRG 4th generation thin & light weight quick release, and will be hot swap 280mm & 310mm steering wheel for different cars category such as stock car, Super GT ,LMP ,DTM, F1, then install wheel button plate for function usage. Gas & clutch pedals are replace by full metal piston with specific harder spring . Will upload video next month : )
mate I think its awsome. some people just like to critisize. theres alot of crap on youtube, but this video is just showing his setup, if you dont like it build your own and show him how its suposed to be done. hardly anyone would know were to start
REALLY great setup, ignore the children, they don't understand, it's a great "game" and THIS is a great way to "play" it. Only wish I had the cash to put something like this together myself.
you dont have to be racing though to have fun. track days are really fun. Its all worth it at the end of the day with what you're paying for if you're really having fun.
@AJAY606 Frex H-shift typeG is native support G27, Shift+ & Handb+ just a simple on/off switch device, simple wire on G27 shifter PCB to make it work. :)
@itrdc5r Yes, the Frex sim clutch + is reproduce the clutch spring action feel. But you need to adjust the meeting point position to fit the simulator setting.
@2727clos H-SHIFTER, SEQUENTIAL SHIFTER & HAND BRAKE all come from Frex GP. You can direct order From their online shop.But note that, The H-shifter that support G25/G27 are call " H-shifter TypeG", I found that the n-position have few second delay, and Frex still can't get fix this problem . So now Frex pull down this items . You can't found this on Frex store now.
Amazing man All that time and effort was a complete success. Good job man. Only you can add the speedometer and the gas meter. lol. good job. I want one lol.
I got really addicted to Assetto Corsa recently, so now i'm in a progress of full cockpit refurbishment. New seat, better pedal position, th8rs shifter ordered and i would also get a 300mm wheel, but they're all expensive. All for that perfect F40 experience. GT5 is a joke compared to AC.
This is incredible. For all those thinking that a real car to track is better, if you got money to burn like that, go right ahead. Refer to posts about insurance, car, wheels, mods, entry fees, etc. This would be a FRACTION of that cost I am sure, and like someone says, you go can go at it day and night. I would be very interested to know how you wired the handbrake and all the other components. I doubt the key is real, (I think it just coincided with choosing the car) but nice touch anyway !
Well. I actually have played GT5, while not in a cockpit, but with a Logitech G27 wheel, and i can assure you. LFS is so much better. It just feels so much more lifelike to drive the cars that are in lfs than the ones in GT5.
Actually, it's not a honda wheel, it's a Momo Race 350mm steering wheel with a honda horn button.As you said, Horn button is really cheap & easy to find.
DUDE!!!! its not about how great the game looks or play, its about passion for the game! if he doesnt have passion for those other games then you saying that makes nooo sense, he'll just get bored
@itrdc5r Frex sim-Clutch+ originally for the Frex Clutch pedal, I try to mount it on G27 pedal, theoretically works, but need to fix some practical issue. If you asked me about the feeling real or not, it's hard to say, this stuff just emulate the clutch spring diaphragm action feel,but the actual simulation is done by software, so, that's finally depends on the simulator. If you can adjust this sim clutch to match the simulator's clutch meeting point, should be a really good hardware.
The game is Gran Turismo 5 on PS3. The only difference is that the person who is playing it just made what would be the most realistic cockpit control setup for racing games on the PS3.
Maybe it's because lots of companies have been making realistic cockpit kits for home use on the PC (for racing sims like Rfactor, LFS, or iRacing), and very few have developed such a kit for use for the PS3 (for racing games like GT5).
@mattetoet Multi-monitor mode must connect at lease 2 Ps3 through a Lan network, maximum connect 5 machine. One single ps3 handle one monitor display. Have 2 multi-monitor mode: 3 monitor & 5 monitor, in 3 monitor mode, the machine ID from left to right is 1-2-3, 2 is the center main screen, in 5 monitor mode, from Left to right is 1-2-3-4-5, 3 is the center main screen.
@reallytightpants I choose G27 because the smoother & quiet steering than G25，it's also get more wheel buttons to use. Sequential shifter not a must for me,( even I add one for my G27) I can use shifter paddles to do the same function.
They can either have it where ha has it, with no teeth so it doesnt lock, or you can have it like McRae did in some of his cars where it comes out of the dash like an upward brake you pull, like Ken Blocks.
Oh, many thanks, but I still haven't plan to place a decent pc in my game room at this moment. I just own a low end MPB for my job now. (and I waiting for RF2 full release) : )
See, that was the problem. I didn't feel like I was having enough fun to justify all the money I was spending, so I quit real racing after a year. Virtual racing may not be real, but it does a great job at removing all the things that suck about real life racing. Nowadays I mostly settle for just joyriding (at responsible speeds, of course) in my Miata up in the mountains close to where I live. Much cheaper and easier to do on a whim.
@Sandeep9201 And it's not depends on the rim size, it's depends on the 6 bolts ring diameter .You can installs all 6 bolts 70mm PCD steerings on the adapter whatever it's a 280- 350mm wheel : )
i like the multi screen,and the handbrake,gated shifter is useless unless its a 7 speed,but i prefer the paddle shifter because it covers everything you need,but nice rig anyhow.all ihave is a driving force gt and a table...lol,but it gets the job done
H shiter and clutch always work with GT5 since GT5P.but note that,G27 without a sequential shifter but G25.So G27 user must doing some mod to use Sequential shifter.
@biben0610 if that is the motor and stuff of a g27 then that is a fantastic set up and the windscreen wipers and everything are amazing, I have a g27 also (I have videos of it on my channel) and they are very good. there is nothing wrong with your driving and I understand you were probably holding back a bit on the first lap to avoid any unnecessary offs and crashes. Have fun with that! :)
Ive played iRacing, and it is pretty realistic FOR RACE-CARS. Not for street cars. If I want to play/drive/drift/race with street cars, Go play LFS, if u want good graphics and a variety of cars to drive, play GT5. Each game is suited for a different situation. In my personal opinion. LFS is the best because of the drifting physics.
@iirmantass3 I added quick release for wheels warping between 280mm, 310mm & 350mm. Next add wheel buttons plate for 280 & 310 to get complete control.

Thanks for the drive home..much do i owe you burrrp.
it's good. especially in cockpit view. The low frequency very strong & solid.
You're right, because so many car in this game, some are typical street car with manual H-shifter & clutch, some are light mod sport car with sequential shifter and pro race car with pedals shifter.
@adaorlando Thank you! Nice to meet you. : ) This cockpit is continue in develop.

Gas & clutch pedals are replace by full metal piston with specific harder spring . Will upload video next month : )
that's perfect cockpit for racing games or simulator
the gt5's all sounds is memorable
the start ignition was pretty cool
The music just puts this video over the top, so smooooth. GT5 is the shit
The best cockipt for the best SIMULATOR ever! Congrats.
Yes, you right, and I have a BMW, Ferrari , Nismo, horn buttons on other wheels too.
I play GT5 with a regular Playseat+G27, but this cockpit is way better!!
Nice job!
Playing Gran Turismo 6 is going to be great with this setup!
mate I think its awsome. some people just like to critisize. theres alot of crap on youtube, but this video is just showing his setup, if you dont like it build your own and show him how its suposed to be done. hardly anyone would know were to start
If you go into the Hardware options in GT5, you'll see that there is a setup option for multiple monitor setups.
if this had a vibration function, i actually would buy this.
Grand tourismo rules. Very nice setup bud.
Impressive bud. I mean wow, just wow. Awesome setup.
fair enough man. im right into mx5's at the moment. mk2's to be specific
REALLY great setup, ignore the children, they don't understand, it's a great "game" and THIS is a great way to "play" it. Only wish I had the cash to put something like this together myself.
Some people really love their racing games...
DUUUDE tha's amazing
love it thumbs up
A guy on GTPLANET made a convert adapter can let the TH8RS connect to fanatec series.
Works well in XBOX /PC /PS3 :)
WTF, this is the nicest cockpit i've ever seen in my entire life lol, good job!
Danm bro, good cockpit, good sim, good driving, and now we need a huge TV setup... XD
That's what a turbo and supercharger is, a vacuum.
A buttkicker in the gearshift mechanism would be great too
That is a sick set up.... Very, very nice!
But seriously, insane work. All I can say, man.
This man is a fucking BOSS. Enough said. Respect
you dont have to be racing though to have fun. track days are really fun. Its all worth it at the end of the day with what you're paying for if you're really having fun.
You're looking wrong ,it is exactly pull back upshift in the right side seq. shifter. : )
I bet every professional track racer does this while they're at home
or they build this kind of stuff for their children to inspire :)
Nice cockpit even without motion simulator.
I wish I could drive to work like this.
@AJAY606 Frex H-shift typeG is native support G27, Shift+ & Handb+ just a simple on/off switch device, simple wire on G27 shifter PCB to make it work. :)

this is Nerdsville, but I am going to get my hammer out right now and make a start on one lol. love the wiper stick lmao. great job bro :)

ridiculous comeback
You need 3 PS3 systems, 3 screens, 3 GT5 discs and a HUB. MOTHER OF GOD!
Nice setup dude! GT5 FTW!

If you didn't know this already the G25 has a smaller degree of turning whereas the G27 has a 900 degree turning (from what i remember)
@biben0610 in Canary Island, Spain..... is too far xD good work man this is the best cockpit to play GT5 :D
pretty nice honda you got there
it's an australian gear box setup, so it isnt wrong, since that's how all of our manual car's are here.
thats kickass man dont let the haters get to you man they just mad they dont got one ...peace man late
Good AnswerJay Im so Agree Couldt say it better my self

oh no i was thinking of the one before that. the mk1. they look ace when theyre slammed to the ground with some small wheels
What the heck, you got a start key and everything!!
The real driving simulator !
iRacing's tracks are laser scanned with millimeter accuracy, GT5's are scanned with 1 meter accuracy. Check and mate
you can have just as much fun in a car that isnt a half million dollar lambo. a lot of hot hatch cars are really fun.
@mattetoet Multi-monitor mode must connect at lease 2 Ps3 through a Lan network, maximum connect 5 machine. One single ps3 handle one monitor display.

You can't have a perfect cockpit till you have a TrackIR...
The only thing I hate about Gran Turismo.. is the act the fact that every car sounds like a vacuum cleaner :/
Well played, sir.
Very nice setup!
@reallytightpants I choose G27 because the smoother & quiet steering than G25，it's also get more wheel buttons to use. Sequential shifter not a must for me,( even I add one for my G27) I can use shifter paddles to do the same function.
put this cockpit to computer with richard burns rally... its the most realistic rally sim ever made

Oh, many thanks, but I still haven't plan to place a decent pc in my game room at this moment. I just own a low end MPB for my job now. (and I waiting for RF2 full release) : )
See, that was the problem. I didn't feel like I was having enough fun to justify all the money I was spending, so I quit real racing after a year. Virtual racing may not be real, but it does a great job at removing all the things that suck about real life racing.
Nowadays I mostly settle for just joyriding (at responsible speeds, of course) in my Miata up in the mountains close to where I live. Much cheaper and easier to do on a whim.
looks well smart better than just my button, I think I`ll have one to get me to work!! lol
@Sandeep9201 And it's not depends on the rim size, it's depends on the 6 bolts ring diameter .You can installs all 6 bolts 70mm PCD steerings on the adapter whatever it's a 280- 350mm wheel : )
who needs to go to an arcade when you got this at home lol..
i like the multi screen,and the handbrake,gated shifter is useless unless its a 7 speed,but i prefer the paddle shifter because it covers everything you need,but nice rig anyhow.all ihave is a driving force gt and a table...lol,but it gets the job done
This must go set with HD/3D TV and a vibration chair for PS3
the sounds in 05:09 - 05:10 it's pretty
NICE SET UP. What are the procedures to adding a larger wheel, without loosing force feed back? Thumbs up.
We don't even know if he has a car already...
Again,this is more realistic then coming up with 200,000 or so to buy a super car.
@ken521p 電工野我唔曉，有冇試過攞番去原廠或者出去比人攪？Logitech 唯一一次攪到我人標煙係當年出GTFP，第一次買，玩玩下LOCK死左180度，轉唔到900度，換左之後收埋冇玩，再開出黎過左保養，一玩就連個啤令都散埋，成個軚卡死左。 不過其他所有羅記軚都依家都仲健在。第三個GTFP 同紅色MOMO 到依家狀態都仲係非常好。G25係要加番D 潤滑油，同磨打弱左D。G27 改左大軚FFB開盡，玩左半年有多，狀態都仲好FIT，你會唔會係成日玩DRIFT ？玩DRIFT 會好傷軚～～T500RS 都好易壞。網上悲劇報告都唔少。短短半年出左三次修正版。FANATEC 又好似出名出事率十分高。所以，其實每個牌子都差不多，講自已彩數～～HA HA
Mate, that's Awesome
thats what am talkin about better than arcade shit when u where little wishin great set up
CarX Murders all simulations out there trust me!
H shiter and clutch always work with GT5 since GT5P.but note that,G27 without a sequential shifter but G25.So G27 user must doing some mod to use Sequential shifter.
i see the honda wheel v-tec all day
bad azz........DEAR SANTA
It's possible in the future when I got time to do this~
how did you link everything to such perfection, man its so cool good job
Shifter on the right, Hand brake on the left?
What is this madness! xD
the way that shifter sounds , hmmm ...
Hey could you upload a quick vid showing the DIY Handbrake and wiper controls.. awesome sim!
@biben0610 if that is the motor and stuff of a g27 then that is a fantastic set up and the windscreen wipers and everything are amazing, I have a g27 also (I have videos of it on my channel) and they are very good. there is nothing wrong with your driving and I understand you were probably holding back a bit on the first lap to avoid any unnecessary offs and crashes. Have fun with that! :)
Duude.. It would be best if you could actually feel the engine vibration while you hear the engine that is darn awesome. Nice job
looks beast
Ive played iRacing, and it is pretty realistic FOR RACE-CARS. Not for street cars.

Very impressive bro
