@@bigfella6629 how did you fit your own seat? I've got a GT omega office chair already, was wondering I could mount that if I'd fit a seat slider under it. Although im still looking to buy it with a XL RS seat
Karl. Your reviews are bang on mate. The little things I am questioning as I watch, you all of a sudden cover as if you can hear my cogs turning. Your attention to detail is 2nd to none. Bloody awesome job and thanks for taking the time to do these. Makes life a shit tonne easier for us all! Props sir!
Just a quick thank you, got the titan 2/3 months ago after your review, also used your affiliate link. "always good to save a bit of mula" and you were spot on it's rock solid and it's a looker cheers stay save.
I'm just starting out in the Sim world and based on all the research I've done, this Titan looks like exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks for the great reviews, I have a lot of HW to do from your site! Also thanks for the coupon code...Titan purchased!
That is wicked! Please, Karl, Get well soon! I have ordered the cockpit with your discount code! It really worked and made me save. Thanks a lot, Karl!
TH-cam needed a comprehensive review of this rig. I've had mine for a couple of months and I love it. Zero complaints and I have my VRS DFP DD wheel mounted to it and works great (I did have to assemble the mounting feet in and drill 4 holes into the Titan base plate to get it on). Great review and keep up the good work!
@Gabe Chapman: I have the VRS also. How is the flex? Also, I have Heusinkveld Sprints. How is the pedal tray flex? I've heard that they have improved the design.
@@MrTurtletraxx Like I said, I had to drill 4 holes and turn the sides of the VRS mount inward to fit on the wheel mounting plate, so the feet turn in and not out. That took some foresight and a bit of patience. The mounting of the Sprints didn’t need modification, but again took some foresight and patience. Not bad as long as you know where it needs to go and where you want everything, aiming to do everything once. As for flex on the foot plate, there is some. I can’t give an amount, but it’s there when really mashing the pedals. Does it bother me and hinder my performance, I don’t think so. The flex on the wheel is almost non existent, and flexes in a direction that should really be apparent when operating the wheel. We really have to consider the price, and if this is the max on your available budget, then we can forgive the amount of flex it allows and there is no better option. If you can spend more than twice as much and get a cockpit made of aluminum profile like the TR80, then that’ll afford zero flex.
@@GabeChapman Yes, I had to turn the mounting hardware inward on the NRL GTUltimate V2 cockpit, also. I added an additional 1/8" aluminum plate for a little beefiness. I can counter any pedal flex with a wood block. I am very hard on the brakes. Love my VRS.
Nice vid Karl. The seat isn't included in the price of £270, if you add the XL RS seat the price is £479.95 not including any discounts. I bought the classic racing stand and turned it into a racing cockpit with the rearframe accessory and a XL RS seat, works a treat for someone like me who isn't really a sim enthusiast just a casual gamer that enjoys driving occasionally.
Yeah I know mate, this is a review of the Titan cockpit not the seat, you can buy any seat you want sorry if that wasn't clear. Yeah that's a decent setup for sure and not too much money either! :)
Cracking review, I bought one of these in December as my TSXW was a nightmare bolted to my cheap desk, been really impressed with it, takes me stamping on the brake of the T-LCMs without any problems, I've been meaning to record a vid to review it as there weren't any when I looked but still struggling for parts to build a new PC to do anything productive. But yeah, 3 months use, no issues at all, they don't offer a handbrake mount for it which is annoying, but if you buy the apex mount it does fit in place of the shifter upright, not as good on adjustment, but it gets you through. Anyone tempted by this will be pleased, like Karl says, for the money, it's brilliant.
I was looking at getting a cockpit for myself. Then I got an idea. I built one out of a bunch of pine I had milled up. That thing is solid. Will not flex at all
Hey Karl, wanted to thank you for this excellent review. Helped me make the purchase decision and I am extremely pleased with it. It went well with the GT DD pro 8Nm and load cell pedal. Another thing worth mentioning is GT Omega's amazing after sales support. I had an issue with the shifter bracket mounting (was mounting at an angle, not 90 deg), they went out of their way to sort it out . Tested working parts at their facility in Scotland and shipped it all the way to Aus.
@@RicciardoRossouw , no drilling was required. I was able to line up the 2 bolts at the bottom of the CSL pedal feet plate then just zip tie the holes at the free end of individual pedals to the Titan pedal tray for good measure. I got a tight fit overall.
You’ve done it to me again, Karl. Really liked my playseat challenge, but I’m just too tight in it. I decided on a dedicated rig and I am going with this one. I ordered the ART initially, but after watching your flex video on it, I’d probably end up buying $200 worth of tools to get that done haha
I brought this cockpit last week after watching your review and received it yesterday. I have to say I couldn’t be happier with this product! Thanks for a great review based on very realistic conditions.
@@jonasbocker1323 if you don’t want motion or extras immediately. It is very sturdy. It was my first cockpit assembly and it took me nearly 2 hours on my own because I admittedly am an idiot at DIY.

@@KarlGosling Just got it, was a breeze to put together. The new pedal-plate is a lot more sturdy than the old one, almost no flex at all with my ClubSport v3s.
Have just bought the GT omega Titan Cockpit after watching your review a few times 😂 it’s definitely a step up from my basic wheel stand that used to move forward when braking I’ve spent a few hours on my titan and love it Thank you for your honest review and discount code it’s perfect even better getting the RS9 seat I’m going to love playing on my sim racing games and who knows what my next purchase will be but hoping it will be a direct drive wheel base and load cell pedals
Ordered the titan with your code, 26 notes saved :) With my monstrous frame of 5.8, I hope I don't need to get a cushion for my backside to elevate myself to get to the wheel 🤣 Anyways, you are the go to for honest reviews on GT omega cockpits (and others). Cheers mate, all the best.
I’ve purchased one of these with the rs 12 seat which in total price was £447 it’s supposed to turn up on Tuesday then I’m having to wait for my Fanatec package thank you the great review.😊😊
Awesome reviews really goes into detail, after watching many of your reviews you sold me on this one so I clicked the link to buy one to support yourself and get myself some discount but unfortunately everything is out of stock bloody gutted.
Man, I am totally a beginner in sim racing. I only have a g920 on order and I’m waiting for my first wheel. I watched about 7 of your videos and I learned so much from them. I’m simply going to buy this cockpit for my first one. I appreciate your help. Btw, I noticed your collection of retro games including the crt!! Awesome! I’m a retro game collector as well! You sir earned a new sub and some likes
Thanks for the review Karl! I spent endless hours trying to find the perfect first rig for me and thanks to your detailled explanations I decided on purchasing the Titan. Unfortunately it seems like it has been out of stock for quite a while for the EU market, I hope it will be available sooner rather than later.
Excellent review. I've had this rig for a few months now, and for the price I'm really happy with it. Perfect for my mid-range Fanatec gear, but not sure it would hold up with a direct-drive wheel. I also thought the pedal tray was to high, so purchased some matte black 20/60 aluminium profile to raise the seat up, and is now a more comfortable GT style seating position.
Looking through the comments it does great with a DD wheel and high end pedals! :) Yeah I'd just ditch the pedal tray to lower mine if it was my daily driver..
@@munners0852 I should have updated my comment, as I have had a CSL DD with boost kit on the rig for a few months now. It certainly surprised me how well the rig has held up with this wheel base on it. Shows how well made it is. I'm still thinking of doing something with the pedal deck, as there is a little bit of flex there, even with my Fanatec V3's.
Thank you, Karl! I think I've watched all of your cockpit reviews now, even though you talked me into this TITAN very early on. I'm currently waiting with as much patience as I can muster for it to arrive here in Vermont. The seat seems to be here, but the cockpit itself is stuck in the UK for an "operational delay." Painful! I've been using a wheelstand I made with warped 2x4s I found in my garage for a couple of years and that thing is all wobble. I've got some slippers under one corner like a bad table at a cafe pedals loose on the floor. I'm using an old leather armchair that is both too high and super sweaty. Driving that now seems so distasteful, but waiting for a whole extra week for delivery before racing again seems just as bad. I guess I'll just keep watching all your videos to keep myself distracted. Thanks again! Definitely subscribed!
To be honest my eyes were drawn straight to them bolts joining the 2 halfs... but same time it's a perfect design for laying some led strips around the frame 😁
What you do not see with the 2 halves joining...is the super strong plug piece that goes into each tube section. Then the bolts that go through the tubing have a strong metal washer plate on the outside. So it is a super strong junction! Absolutely no worry with strength here.
Ordered my Titan this morning with the RS6 using your discount code, nice one Karl. Now I can stop pining while watching this review endlessly! #chuffed 😁
Your reviews are spot on! Very detailed and honest, I had a rubbish rig from Pc world, (ADX) that to be honest I regret buying, and then I got one of those rigs, and it’s basically a totally new experience, it’s solid and comfortable. Looks great and it’s very sharp looking . Top reviews as always Karl. I know it’s a bit old this vid but still very helpful for who thinks to get into the sim racing world. 👍🏻🙌🏻
I actually reviewed an ADX cockpit some time ago, I think it was the worst rig I've ever tested! lol Glad you find my video's helpful mate, enjoy your Titan!
This could do with an updated review, I have the 2022 model. I think the steering plate is thicker, but the pedal plate has had a total redesign and is now solid, almost zero flex. Unfortunately the 8mm hole for 6mm nuts is still the same, but other than that it’s solid!
Just bought a GT omega titan with your discount code after watching these test. I'll be watching you from now on to see what's good and what sucks bollocks in the sim hardware racket. Thanks.
That is the trade off with tubular cockpits, not so easy to just add stuff, but they could have made some custom add on's for sure... but if you're ok wit a bit of DIY it's no problem.
Great review! Just ordered myself one with the XL RS seat. with your code, thanks! I think I'm going to get the 8NM CSL DD with the CSL pedals + load kit, maybe the GT DD Pro as I do like a bit of Gran Turismo.
I'm loving this cockpit. It's so much better then my desk and chair, obviously. I even use it when I'm playing games on my controller. It's so comfortable and solid. It's almost perfect. And thank you Karl for recommending the washers when mounting the seat. Great setup
Thanks a bunch, looked at both your Playseat Trophy and GT Omega Titan review and it really helped me pick the best choice for me (which would be the Omega Titan). I hope you have some racing wheel reviews too, cause im currently still using a G29 which isn't bad but def. want to find an upgrade to that.
Thank you so much for the quick response, used your code with my order for the Titan. Will def. be checking out your other videos, great channel! @@KarlGosling
Your vids are dreat. Just recently getting into sim racing. Have a omega titan and gt dd pro premium bundle on order. Cant wait to try it out. Thanks for the info and the discount
Hi Karl, somewhere in the comments you mentioned you had bolted your pedals straight to the base plate of the pedal deck. It would be awesome if you could do a short video of how you did it. Thinking of doing the same for V3 pedals on the Titan.
Hey man, I really enjoy watching your reviews. You really helped me decide which cockpit should I buy, I wanted a foldable one and watched all 3 of your videos about PS Challenge F-GT lite and GT lite. I went with the GT lite and I am really happy with it, it's really sturdy. Thank you!
Karl great review mate. It convinced me to swap my Playseat Challenge for this and I was very nicely surprised to find out they're doing new pedal plate. More sturdy with less flex but it's not advertised anywhere. I think you can do little update cause this new plate is absolutely bang on. I can send you pictures if you want 😉 of plate of course 😂
This looks like a solid rig. I've just ordered a Playseat Challenge as I need a temporary foldable rig right now. Moving house in a few months with more space and think I'll upgrade to this. 👍
After watching your review I bought one with your discount, thanks. A bit of head scratching when building it, the instructions aren’t very clear but I got there eventually although I seem to have a lot of nuts and bolts left over 🤣 seems sturdy enough though
Thank you for the discount code...Grandsons birthday present. Hoping the ship time is short to the states. Birthday is the 21st....Thanks again Karl for your insight it helped tremendously with this last minute decision.
Great review - considering I paid £200 for a Playseat Challenge this looks like a great budget option for stronger wheels. Shame the seats have sold out..probably stuck in the Suez Canal lol
I prefer the ART. The thicker the frame the more steel you have to step over when you get inside. The wheel deck is longer so you can put speakers on each side of the wheel. It is plenty strong, especially if you add stabilizer bars.
Just ordered the Apex as I'm delving into the sim racing world thanks to your videos and reviews. If I enjoy then I'll purchase the rear add-on seat at a later date 👍 keep up the great videos 💪
Great review, I have one of these myself, great rigs. Handles my Simucube 30nm wheelbase no problem although I had to drill holes for the mount. I cut a sheet of aluminimum plate 1.5mm to match the seat frame and used rubber motor mounts to separate the seat from the chasis. Mounted my butt kicker to the aluminium plate which is now isolated from the rig and more importantly my floor :)
Nice review. I have this cockpit. I used your discount code which was great. I do think the pedal tray flexes a little but i have made a modification of adding a couple of angle brackets (£10) to support at the front which has helped. I dont recall having an issue with the m8 holes and m6 bolts. I use elite pedals with LC and 85 rubber springs - set on 70 brf. I do plan to get clubsport v3 pedals and attach the directly to the base. You could also fit a different pedal base plate (Heusinkveld) if you wanted. You can also get 6 m8 locking casters from amazon instead of the standard feet which makes it easy to move.
@@raptorrooney I have two right angle steel brackets, on each side e.g. shelf supports. I drilled a hole in each side of the pedal base and also in the pedal floor and bolted them on. It supports each side of the pedal plate near the front and prevents pretty much all the flex. difficult to explain without a pic. As Karl said if you dont use the pedal base you will also get minimal flex. I plan change to pedals with angle adjustment so wont need the pedal plate.
Paul, can you confirm a specific set of wheels/casters from Amazon? I just ordered the Titan and they were out of stock for the wheels and I need them to be able to move it
OMG just received this rig....!!! At first the rigidity messed with my car control and lines due to flex and wobble on playseat evolution! This highlights just how bad the playseat is even though it's an option to get in to wheels and seats. Save the pennies and go straight for this rig! After a couple of laps I'm starting to get the feel and movements down and much smoother car control.
Thank you very much for this great review. Great job. I think i will try this rig combined with fanatec csl dd ... i guess that is good starting point for a beginner. kind greetings from germany🤙
I have the GT Omega classic with RS9 seat upgrade. Seriously looking to replace it with this now because of the flex in the drive base and handbrake mount. It does take away a little more of the experience flexing the way it does in Dirt Rally 2. This video helps me ton by demonstrating the anti flex features!
Another good review Karl just in the process of purchasing one of the rigs from GT Omega, love the comment about the bell end that drilled the holes good old Yorkshire saying. Keep up the great vids Lad
As usual Karl, you've done it again. Great review mate. Now, my decision making just got a bit harder. Was thinking the ART with your mods for flex removal was the way to go, but watching this has got me thinking i should save a little bit longer and get the Titan. Cheers mate. Hope you and yours have a safe and happy Easter. 👍
Karl, thanks for the review mate. I picked up a Titan and got it together with my NRG Prisma seat. (Used your code as well!) Love it so far. Super solid like you stated. One issue I have, though, with the wheel deck. I have all the bolts torqued down as hard as they'll go, but, if I start pulling on the wheel hard, it will actually move up and down. Any way to stop this from happening that you're aware of?
The pedal tray being cantilevered out like that with no other support seems like a strange design decision to me. And those M6 bolts... Surprised they didn't use M8 in the first place. Saying that, I'm thinking of getting one of these so appreciate the review.
I have that cockpit. It's the best cockpit ever. Looks good, isn't huge and most of all it's SOLID!! Plus the price is great. Been using it for around 3 months now. Very happy with my purchase. I use a Thrustmaster TS-PC and the same pedals as in this video. DD WHEELS ARE SO OVER RATED 🙄 I bet Karl that you would be just as happy with just your Thrustmaster if you were totally honest. Anyway great video.
Not just as happy no, the DD1 is much better... but for most people (average gamers) I wouldn't say it's worth the money for just playing a game, a good belt driven setup is fine.
thoughts between this and a 8020 for a first rig?? buy once cry once, or this is a great piece ?? current wheel is a gt dd pro 8nm might do a loadcell or v3 pedal. very new to sim racing. .............Just pulled the trigger on the titan with xl seat. thanks again for your videos. should be a decent start in the sim world. used your code, and saved a bit, gave some back on that insurance shipping crap, heh. sounds like a setup if things go wrong. was $15 or so.
Thanks for the review Karl. Excellent as always. Really like the look of the Titan. Thinking of upgrading from the Playseat challenge. Looks like the Titan had a really small foot print? How does it compare to the Playseat Trophy?
The footprint is pretty small, I think it helps that everything is smooth and tubular. The trophy is ok but too expensive and has no proper seat adjustment.
I love watching and learning from all your great videos. Thanks for your great knowledge and reviews. I put my titan together but I haven't added my steering and pedals yet, but I am left with way to many nuts and bolts not used. Is this normal, are they meant to be used for the steering and pedals. Thanks again.
Thanks for the review Karl. I decided to buy this cockpit but Brexit put a stop to that as they won't deliver to EU at the moment. Anyhoo, I was wondering at the price. You mentioned 270 pounds (?) but manufacturer's US store says almost 600 buckaroos with seat included. No idea of the price in the EU store however.
@@KarlGosling Hi Karl, thanks for replying. Apologies, I got the impression the seat is included in the price you quoted, but that's obvs not the case.
Hi Karl great review, just placed my order for the Titan seems to be one of the best for the money around, even better with your code. Will I have to drill the plate if I dont use the additional pedal plate. Using Thrustmaster Load cell pedals.
awesome review as always Karl, been waiting on this one since i first seen the boxes sitting. i ended up breaking down and buying a copycat seat from amazon just so i could get mine together as we all know stock is super limited hahaha Cheers
Looks really good! I want to upgrade my rig in a couple of months, got a Playseat Challenge right now. I'm using a Fanatec GT DD Pro with 8 Nm boosterpack and CSL pedals with LC. I might upgrade to the CSL V2 somaday. Will this rig be more than sufficient for that, or is it better to go for the Prime Lite?
This will be absolutely fine but if you can go for the Prime Lite that will give you many more options for fitting other toys in the future! Don't forget there's a discounted link for all GT Omega stuff in the description when the time comes mate.
Probably a really dumb question, but I bought a logitech g923 a month ago and bought this cockpit 2 days ago after watching your videos...do I have to buy the screws to mount my logitech gear to the rig or are extra screws included for this? Sorry for being so green 🤷♂️
Thanks
Thats very kind of you mate, thanks! :)

I’ve purchased one of these with the rs 12 seat which in total price was £447 it’s supposed to turn up on Tuesday then I’m having to wait for my Fanatec package thank you the great review.😊😊
Nice one! Enjoy your new equipment!
Awesome reviews really goes into detail, after watching many of your reviews you sold me on this one so I clicked the link to buy one to support yourself and get myself some discount but unfortunately everything is out of stock bloody gutted.
Typical! Hold tight mate things come in every couple of weeks right now :)
Thanks for your support too.
Just ordered the Titan and RS9 with your discount added. Many thanks for the excellent review and for the discount.
Top man Karl 👌
Enjoy!
Man, I am totally a beginner in sim racing. I only have a g920 on order and I’m waiting for my first wheel. I watched about 7 of your videos and I learned so much from them. I’m simply going to buy this cockpit for my first one. I appreciate your help. Btw, I noticed your collection of retro games including the crt!! Awesome! I’m a retro game collector as well! You sir earned a new sub and some likes
Welcome aboard! I am a big retro fan mate, have a lot of stuff still from my childhood here! :)
Thanks for the review Karl! I spent endless hours trying to find the perfect first rig for me and thanks to your detailled explanations I decided on purchasing the Titan.
Unfortunately it seems like it has been out of stock for quite a while for the EU market, I hope it will be available sooner rather than later.
They usually come in every two weeks or so but sell out again very quickly, I'd recommend looking on their site daily to pick one up.
@@KarlGosling Great to hear, thanks!
Excellent review. I've had this rig for a few months now, and for the price I'm really happy with it. Perfect for my mid-range Fanatec gear, but not sure it would hold up with a direct-drive wheel. I also thought the pedal tray was to high, so purchased some matte black 20/60 aluminium profile to raise the seat up, and is now a more comfortable GT style seating position.
Looking through the comments it does great with a DD wheel and high end pedals! :)
Yeah I'd just ditch the pedal tray to lower mine if it was my daily driver..
how do i stop the slider from being stuck upwards when moving back
Put a GT DD pro with 8nm booster wheel on it tonight and it is rigid with no flex at all
@@munners0852 I should have updated my comment, as I have had a CSL DD with boost kit on the rig for a few months now. It certainly surprised me how well the rig has held up with this wheel base on it. Shows how well made it is. I'm still thinking of doing something with the pedal deck, as there is a little bit of flex there, even with my Fanatec V3's.
@@carter751106 I've got the v3 in pedals too, the pedal tray has no flex at all for me on the Titan. Check all your bolts are tight...
Thank you, Karl! I think I've watched all of your cockpit reviews now, even though you talked me into this TITAN very early on. I'm currently waiting with as much patience as I can muster for it to arrive here in Vermont. The seat seems to be here, but the cockpit itself is stuck in the UK for an "operational delay." Painful! I've been using a wheelstand I made with warped 2x4s I found in my garage for a couple of years and that thing is all wobble. I've got some slippers under one corner like a bad table at a cafe pedals loose on the floor. I'm using an old leather armchair that is both too high and super sweaty. Driving that now seems so distasteful, but waiting for a whole extra week for delivery before racing again seems just as bad. I guess I'll just keep watching all your videos to keep myself distracted.
Thanks again! Definitely subscribed!
lol Mate i feel your pain, waiting for things to arrive is horrible!
To be honest my eyes were drawn straight to them bolts joining the 2 halfs... but same time it's a perfect design for laying some led strips around the frame 😁
What you do not see with the 2 halves joining...is the super strong plug piece that goes into each tube section. Then the bolts that go through the tubing have a strong metal washer plate on the outside. So it is a super strong junction! Absolutely no worry with strength here.
Ordered this Friday can’t wait for delivery, thanks for the review and discount code 👌
Hope you enjoy it mate!
Ordered my Titan this morning with the RS6 using your discount code, nice one Karl. Now I can stop pining while watching this review endlessly! #chuffed 😁
Enjoy it!
I love how all your quick racing demos end in a CRASH! 👍
lol Keeps it short! :)
@@KarlGosling 😄 😁 🤣 👍
Your reviews are spot on! Very detailed and honest, I had a rubbish rig from Pc world, (ADX) that to be honest I regret buying, and then I got one of those rigs, and it’s basically a totally new experience, it’s solid and comfortable. Looks great and it’s very sharp looking . Top reviews as always Karl. I know it’s a bit old this vid but still very helpful for who thinks to get into the sim racing world. 👍🏻🙌🏻
I actually reviewed an ADX cockpit some time ago, I think it was the worst rig I've ever tested! lol
Glad you find my video's helpful mate, enjoy your Titan!
@@KarlGosling yeh .unfortunately I’ve seen your review after the mistake of getting it…, well I’ve managed to wobble for a couple of years . Haha
This could do with an updated review, I have the 2022 model. I think the steering plate is thicker, but the pedal plate has had a total redesign and is now solid, almost zero flex.
Unfortunately the 8mm hole for 6mm nuts is still the same, but other than that it’s solid!
Oh that interesting to hear! I'll drop them an email to ask about it.
Just ordered this with your discount code. Thanks for the consistent, great content and the link!
Hope you enjoy it mate! No problem! :)
is the code just for the USA? I tried to use the code which lead me to the US site. Tried the UK site and no discount was added at checkout.
Just bought a GT omega titan with your discount code after watching these test. I'll be watching you from now on to see what's good and what sucks bollocks in the sim hardware racket. Thanks.
lol Excellent comment mate cheers! :)
I have this cockpit too. Overall pretty solid and comfortable but I'm pretty disappointed about the lack off accessories/mounting options.
That is the trade off with tubular cockpits, not so easy to just add stuff, but they could have made some custom add on's for sure... but if you're ok wit a bit of DIY it's no problem.
Flex with steering base?
Great review! Just ordered myself one with the XL RS seat. with your code, thanks! I think I'm going to get the 8NM CSL DD with the CSL pedals + load kit, maybe the GT DD Pro as I do like a bit of Gran Turismo.
That will be a great setup mate! :)
all the seats are sold out 😒great video again mate. as soon as the seats are in stock i will be ordering one.
They are in transit as we speak mate 🙂
Thanks for this, just ordered, they were £40 off plus another £20 + with your discount code . cheers.
Decent saving! :)
Fantastic review, I've decided I'm going to buy one. Thanks, Karl.
Hope you enjoy it!
What's your opinion?
Bedankt
Thanks very much!
Karl good vid! I just bought this for my son. He has installed it with a VRS DD and Heusinkveld Sprint pedals and he loves it! No appreciable flex.
That is awesome!
Just ordered mine based on your review. Can't wait to try it out
Hope you enjoy it!
I'm loving this cockpit. It's so much better then my desk and chair, obviously. I even use it when I'm playing games on my controller. It's so comfortable and solid. It's almost perfect. And thank you Karl for recommending the washers when mounting the seat. Great setup
Thanks a bunch, looked at both your Playseat Trophy and GT Omega Titan review and it really helped me pick the best choice for me (which would be the Omega Titan). I hope you have some racing wheel reviews too, cause im currently still using a G29 which isn't bad but def. want to find an upgrade to that.
I've covered all the major wheel releases in the last couple of years mate yes, Logitech, Thrustmaster, Fanatec, Asetek, Moza, etc.
Thank you so much for the quick response, used your code with my order for the Titan. Will def. be checking out your other videos, great channel! @@KarlGosling
Your vids are dreat. Just recently getting into sim racing. Have a omega titan and gt dd pro premium bundle on order. Cant wait to try it out. Thanks for the info and the discount
Ah nice! Enjoy your new setup mate! :D
getting the cockpits are the easy part with GT Omega getting accessories for the cockpits is a different story
Just ordered after watching loads of your reviews on this! Discount was a nice touch. Sub'd
Hope you enjoy it!
Hi Karl, somewhere in the comments you mentioned you had bolted your pedals straight to the base plate of the pedal deck. It would be awesome if you could do a short video of how you did it. Thinking of doing the same for V3 pedals on the Titan.
I just placed the pedals down, marked the four bolt holes, moved the pedals out the way and drilled where I'd marked mate, real easy! 😃
Hey man, I really enjoy watching your reviews. You really helped me decide which cockpit should I buy, I wanted a foldable one and watched all 3 of your videos about PS Challenge F-GT lite and GT lite. I went with the GT lite and I am really happy with it, it's really sturdy. Thank you!
I did the exact same. Not disappointed in my choice at all.
Glad I could help!
Karl great review mate. It convinced me to swap my Playseat Challenge for this and I was very nicely surprised to find out they're doing new pedal plate. More sturdy with less flex but it's not advertised anywhere. I think you can do little update cause this new plate is absolutely bang on. I can send you pictures if you want 😉 of plate of course 😂
This one will support the new DD Pro?
This looks like a solid rig. I've just ordered a Playseat Challenge as I need a temporary foldable rig right now. Moving house in a few months with more space and think I'll upgrade to this. 👍
It's decent mate, I'd recommend it for most people who don't wan't a aly profile rig.
After watching your review I bought one with your discount, thanks. A bit of head scratching when building it, the instructions aren’t very clear but I got there eventually although I seem to have a lot of nuts and bolts left over 🤣 seems sturdy enough though
Enjoy mate!
Thank you! After this review I decided to buy this rig. Nice work!
Glad I could help!
Thank you for the discount code...Grandsons birthday present. Hoping the ship time is short to the states. Birthday is the 21st....Thanks again Karl for your insight it helped tremendously with this last minute decision.
They have stock in the US I beleive so should be fairly prompt!
Glad I'm of help mate :)
Great review - considering I paid £200 for a Playseat Challenge this looks like a great budget option for stronger wheels. Shame the seats have sold out..probably stuck in the Suez Canal lol
It's great for the money I think.
They are actually in transit as we speak!
I prefer the ART. The thicker the frame the more steel you have to step over when you get inside. The wheel deck is longer so you can put speakers on each side of the wheel. It is plenty strong, especially if you add stabilizer bars.
Each to their own mate.
Just ordered the Apex as I'm delving into the sim racing world thanks to your videos and reviews. If I enjoy then I'll purchase the rear add-on seat at a later date 👍 keep up the great videos 💪
Thanks mate enjoy! :)
Great review, I have one of these myself, great rigs. Handles my Simucube 30nm wheelbase no problem although I had to drill holes for the mount.
I cut a sheet of aluminimum plate 1.5mm to match the seat frame and used rubber motor mounts to separate the seat from the chasis. Mounted my butt kicker to the aluminium plate which is now isolated from the rig and more importantly my floor :)
30nm for real ?!
Whats the flex on the base plate then ?
30 nm wtf! are you shore that you Drive with 30nm?
@@markfarkas1817 of course not, but I can :)
Nice review. I have this cockpit. I used your discount code which was great. I do think the pedal tray flexes a little but i have made a modification of adding a couple of angle brackets (£10) to support at the front which has helped. I dont recall having an issue with the m8 holes and m6 bolts. I use elite pedals with LC and 85 rubber springs - set on 70 brf. I do plan to get clubsport v3 pedals and attach the directly to the base. You could also fit a different pedal base plate (Heusinkveld) if you wanted. You can also get 6 m8 locking casters from amazon instead of the standard feet which makes it easy to move.
Hey. Could you describe exactly what you have done with the angled brackets? Really interested
@@raptorrooney I have two right angle steel brackets, on each side e.g. shelf supports. I drilled a hole in each side of the pedal base and also in the pedal floor and bolted them on. It supports each side of the pedal plate near the front and prevents pretty much all the flex. difficult to explain without a pic. As Karl said if you dont use the pedal base you will also get minimal flex. I plan change to pedals with angle adjustment so wont need the pedal plate.
Paul, can you confirm a specific set of wheels/casters from Amazon? I just ordered the Titan and they were out of stock for the wheels and I need them to be able to move it
OMG just received this rig....!!! At first the rigidity messed with my car control and lines due to flex and wobble on playseat evolution! This highlights just how bad the playseat is even though it's an option to get in to wheels and seats. Save the pennies and go straight for this rig! After a couple of laps I'm starting to get the feel and movements down and much smoother car control.
What a change!!
@@KarlGosling beyond night and day!!
what seat did you choose ?? putting this one on my radar
@@JoelSc14 I chose the RS9 as I've got a few extra inches around the waist lol
@@munners0852 thanks, definitely can relate, 🙂😢😄
Thanks man, got mine arriving tomorrow.
Enjoy it
(5:37) nowt wrong with being picky, probably the same bell end that drilled the holes that printed the two 7's on the assembly instructions 🤣
I like your audio setup, bass for day's with them 365's old skool style
Oh yes! :)
Duuuude, your videos are the best.
Thank you a lot.
Thank you very much for this great review. Great job. I think i will try this rig combined with fanatec csl dd ... i guess that is good starting point for a beginner. kind greetings from germany🤙
Sounds like a perfect starting point mate! Discounts and links in description for both!
I have the GT Omega classic with RS9 seat upgrade. Seriously looking to replace it with this now because of the flex in the drive base and handbrake mount. It does take away a little more of the experience flexing the way it does in Dirt Rally 2. This video helps me ton by demonstrating the anti flex features!
Another good review Karl just in the process of purchasing one of the rigs from GT Omega, love the comment about the bell end that drilled the holes good old Yorkshire saying. Keep up the great vids Lad
Thanks 👍
Just saved £22 on a Titan rig, thanks to your discount code, thanks very much Karl
I am actually thinking about buying one of these, great thanks
You should, it decent for the money! :)
As usual Karl, you've done it again. Great review mate. Now, my decision making just got a bit harder. Was thinking the ART with your mods for flex removal was the way to go, but watching this has got me thinking i should save a little bit longer and get the Titan. Cheers mate. Hope you and yours have a safe and happy Easter. 👍
I would go Titan, it's so solid right out the box! :)
Karl, thanks for the review mate. I picked up a Titan and got it together with my NRG Prisma seat. (Used your code as well!) Love it so far. Super solid like you stated. One issue I have, though, with the wheel deck. I have all the bolts torqued down as hard as they'll go, but, if I start pulling on the wheel hard, it will actually move up and down. Any way to stop this from happening that you're aware of?
Not that I know of mate no, there is some up/down flex but if you're running sensible torque it shouldn't really be an issue in normal use IME.
Thanks for another great video Karl! I think I will have to pull the trigger on this one. Thanks for the discount too 👍
Hope you enjoy it mate!
The pedal tray being cantilevered out like that with no other support seems like a strange design decision to me. And those M6 bolts... Surprised they didn't use M8 in the first place. Saying that, I'm thinking of getting one of these so appreciate the review.
I have that cockpit. It's the best cockpit ever. Looks good, isn't huge and most of all it's SOLID!! Plus the price is great. Been using it for around 3 months now. Very happy with my purchase. I use a Thrustmaster TS-PC and the same pedals as in this video. DD WHEELS ARE SO OVER RATED 🙄 I bet Karl that you would be just as happy with just your Thrustmaster if you were totally honest. Anyway great video.
Not just as happy no, the DD1 is much better... but for most people (average gamers) I wouldn't say it's worth the money for just playing a game, a good belt driven setup is fine.
Great review mate and legendary status for using the phrase “bellend” haha
lol thanks mate! :)
thoughts between this and a 8020 for a first rig?? buy once cry once, or this is a great piece ?? current wheel is a gt dd pro 8nm might do a loadcell or v3 pedal. very new to sim racing. .............Just pulled the trigger on the titan with xl seat. thanks again for your videos. should be a decent start in the sim world. used your code, and saved a bit, gave some back on that insurance shipping crap, heh. sounds like a setup if things go wrong. was $15 or so.
Thanks for the review Karl. Excellent as always. Really like the look of the Titan. Thinking of upgrading from the Playseat challenge. Looks like the Titan had a really small foot print? How does it compare to the Playseat Trophy?
The footprint is pretty small, I think it helps that everything is smooth and tubular.
The trophy is ok but too expensive and has no proper seat adjustment.
I'd like one of these but I'd require a second shifter mount, and GT Omega accessories are few and far between for this cockpit
Yeah probably have to DIY something.
I was about to purchase the cockpit until it was a $250 USD shipping fee. I went with Next Level racing unfortunately since they had free shipping
Yeah no US stock so shipping is from the UK, hence the price.
I love watching and learning from all your great videos. Thanks for your great knowledge and reviews. I put my titan together but I haven't added my steering and pedals yet, but I am left with way to many nuts and bolts not used. Is this normal, are they meant to be used for the steering and pedals. Thanks again.
Thats right mate they are for mounting your hardware.
@@KarlGosling Thankyou very much.
This is looking like my rig of choice as I’m about to enter the sim racing world
Go for it mate, discount in the description!
Thanks for the review Karl. I decided to buy this cockpit but Brexit put a stop to that as they won't deliver to EU at the moment. Anyhoo, I was wondering at the price. You mentioned 270 pounds (?) but manufacturer's US store says almost 600 buckaroos with seat included. No idea of the price in the EU store however.
Yeah it's a pain they still haven't sorted that out.
Seat is optional yes, obviously I had to use one to review the cockpit! lol
@@KarlGosling Hi Karl, thanks for replying. Apologies, I got the impression the seat is included in the price you quoted, but that's obvs not the case.
Hi Karl great review, just placed my order for the Titan seems to be one of the best for the money around, even better with your code. Will I have to drill the plate if I dont use the additional pedal plate.
Using Thrustmaster Load cell pedals.
Yes mate you will, thats what I've done for all the pedals i test on it, only takes a few minutes :)
awesome review as always Karl, been waiting on this one since i first seen the boxes sitting. i ended up breaking down and buying a copycat seat from amazon just so i could get mine together as we all know stock is super limited hahaha Cheers
Which copy did you buy ?
Think iv found what I'm looking good for. Cheers Karl
Excellent mate! :)
It's currently £300 without a seat or £480 with the XL RS seat.
Looks really good!
I want to upgrade my rig in a couple of months, got a Playseat Challenge right now. I'm using a Fanatec GT DD Pro with 8 Nm boosterpack and CSL pedals with LC. I might upgrade to the CSL V2 somaday. Will this rig be more than sufficient for that, or is it better to go for the Prime Lite?
This will be absolutely fine but if you can go for the Prime Lite that will give you many more options for fitting other toys in the future! Don't forget there's a discounted link for all GT Omega stuff in the description when the time comes mate.
@@KarlGosling Thanks mate! Guess I'll see what the budget allows when the time comes. Keep up the good work!
Awesome stuff 💪.
Got one my self, it’s really worth it.
Great to hear!
Probably a really dumb question, but I bought a logitech g923 a month ago and bought this cockpit 2 days ago after watching your videos...do I have to buy the screws to mount my logitech gear to the rig or are extra screws included for this? Sorry for being so green 🤷♂️
I think they come with it mate so you should be good to go! :)
