- This video is the third in a series which describes how to build the DIY Simulator Sled. Part one describes how to build the base. Part two describes the monitor rack. Part 3, broken into two sections, covers the steering rack, keyboard tray, seat, amp, and bass shakers. If you are using the Simulator Sled for flight simulation purposes, parts one and two will apply as well as the second section of part 3.

Part 3-1 (the first part of this video) is here:

The overview of the driving cockpit can be found at the original UA-cam video:
• Home Built Sim Racing ...
The design concept overview can be found in the video - Anatomy of a Driving Simulator:
• Anatomy of a Driving S...
This design uses tactile feedback at all contact points (seat, pedals, wheel) and is completely self contained.
The entire construction cost of the cockpit was approximately $800 and is described in the above videos.
Total build time was approximately 12 weeks.
Photographs and free, as-is blueprints, can be found here:

The specifications of the simulator sled:
Height 46"
Length: 65"
Width: 60" (assuming 45 degree monitor rake)
Weight: 190 lbs. (without monitors)
Seat travel: 10" fore and aft, 20 degree tilt in 5 degree increments
Pedal travel: 12" fore and aft, 0-30 degree tilt in 5 degree increments (from 10-30 degrees)
Steering travel: 16" fore and aft, up to 12" up and down, 30 degree wheel pitch, 30 degree steering shaft pitch
Monitor travel: 8" up and down from center point
Accommodates up to three 30" monitors, individual monitor pitch 180 degree, yaw 60 degrees.
Absolutely unbelievable amount of attention to detail Gregg. You are definitely a born engineer and inventor. I drool over this simulator more and more with each new video. Much kudos to you.
Thanks Andrew. I try...
Sensacional!!!!
Que trabalho fantástico, amigo!
Parabéns!!!
Fiquei louco para fazer meu cockpit.
Hey, trying to find the blueprints, can by find them on the link provided..... Could you sir please help?
Thanks for the videos and inspiration! I'm about a week away from fully functional.
Do you have blueprints? They url isn't valid anymore. Please help?
Zunair Khan Part 1 has an image of the main print that’s readable. I suggest taking a screen-grab of it.
@@DKaps1 thank you... I'll look at it.
awesome racing shoes!
Beautiful mr Lagnese, I hope my project became so nice like yours. My construction begin next month and I pretend to document everything and create a worklog like you (unfortunately it will be in portuguese but don't worry: you will be on the credits for sure).
My project has similarities with your even with the rig (despite the fact that it have flight simulation components):
1 - Joysticks: Fanatec Porsche 911 GT3 RS V2 Wheel, CSR Elite Pedals, ClubSport Shifter V 1.5, Thrustmaster Warthog, a Helicopter Collective and a custom button box;
2 - Razer Blackwidow keyboard and mamba mouse (supported by a gas spring vesa mount);
3 - Custom 5.1 surround system (witch I will build inside the sled, with Monoprice speakers, 6 ch amplifier board and a switching power supply);
4 - AuraSound AST-2B-4 Pro Bass Shaker;
5 - Razer Tiamat 7.1 headphones (with some electronics for switching between the headphones and the speakers while maintain the bass shaker running);
6 - Dell S2716DG 27 in g-sync monitor (supported by a gas spring vesa mount);
7 - HTC Vive (this is the reason of the single, and not triple monitor setup);
Tell me if you think that the gas spring will work on the keyboard/mouse mount (I bought it from Amazon: www.amazon.com/North-Bayou-Motion-Computer-Monitors/dp/B01AI2YGK4/ref=sr_1_13?ie=UTF8&qid=1474737695&sr=8-13&keywords=gas+spring+vesa).
And thanks a lot for your work, it inspires me in so many ways. And sorry about the english ;-)
Hmm, I just replaced my three screen setup with a single 4K display. It bolted right up to my existing brackets. I just took off the other monitor 'wings' by undoing a single bolt. The gas spring seems like a pain compared to two simple brackets on a steel tube. My VESA mounts (for other 4K displays), can't handle the weight well either. Any reason why you opted for that solution?
Nope, just because it seems practical (I saw one of your videos explain the difficult to implement the tubes with adjustment and bracket alignment) and cheap (just $34) but now I am afraid: did you think that the gas spring will not work for me (to support one 27 in monitor and other to keyboard/mouse)?
I'm sure it will work depending on the weight of the monitor. The brackets I reverted to are nice because they are so small and tight to the frame. It moves the monitors away from the user, makes the rig lighter, and removes any possible sag. Assuming a T-Slot frame, it would be even easier to implement. Just a couple of angle brackets and a few holes.
so the seat tilt is non adjustable any more? i will start building this week !
In my case yes. I removed the adjustment because I found that I never adjusted it for anyone. It made the connection stronger, easier to build, and the change removed some rattling noises caused by the bigger base shaker.
Good luck with your build!
Gregg Lagnese thnx for your answer . Will take that in account
Just bought the wood
did u play project cars?
When time permits!
what game is that? don't say pcars.
LOL. I usually show pCars or Assetto Corsa. I think that was a little of both.
