F-GT

I give this Sim Cockpit 5 stars, not to indicate that it's the best overall "out there" - there are (much) more expensive ones with more options/features - but to say that the quality is top notch and that it does exactly what it promises to do. I have it set up in GT mode, but it's a really nice feature that it can be changed to F1 mode where you lie back further and have the pedals up higher. I use it with a Logitech G29 wheels/pedals combo on a PS4 - so all in all an entry-level set up with a TV (no VR). The assembly instructions are straightforward to follow and everything you need is included. I recommend assembling everything loosely (except the seat, obviously) and then get in the seat and see where everything needs to go. I'm 6'4" and need the wheel all the way forward and up a notch to fit my legs. The seat slides back and forth so it's easy to find the perfect driving position. Once everything is in the right spot, then tighten everything up as per the assembly instructions. I don't have another rig to compare with, but it appears to be very rigid - no give or sliding around when driving. The seat is quite comfortable and supportive - there's a lumbar support cushion included that I haven't needed so far. I have immediately shaved a couple of seconds of my lap times on the Nordschleife - highly recommended.

This thing gets some bad reviews in some places but I'm very impressed by it. It's very sturdy and I'm 6'1" 230lb. The seat is actually really comfortable in the F1 setup (haven't tried GT) and I tend to have back problems. No issues for me, and I don't use the lumbar pad. Comes with the strengthening kit, bonus. I do have one complaint: the shifter location is absurd. Its really far forward, and too high. I ended up doing a pretty extensive modification to bring it down and back. I am a die hard H pattern manual guy, but for many this won't be an issue. Use it to mount a beer holder. Happy with it. It walks a line between the cheaper folding lawn chair setups that I know my size and weight would destroy, and the very expensive extruded aluminum setups. Those seem like a similar price, but they nickle and dime you and often don't come with a seat. Once you get what you need its usually like 800 at least for those. F-GT a good compromise, no regrets. They need to fix the shifter in the next update though.

So after searching around for months, I decided to pull the trigger on this rig. First off I will say, for the price, this will be very hard to beat. Most similar cockpits I came across were double the price or even more expensive. I could not find any similar style cockpits, that actually included a seat, for a comparable price. The few that I did find around this price or cheaper had obvious design flaws or just simply weren't sturdy enough for the setup I planned on having. I got mine and decided to put it together the next day when I ended up getting off work early. I would give this a 5 star review but the assembly is well... a bit of a task. I personally have quite a lot of experience building/assembling things like this and I’m normally pretty confident in that ability. I never get things assembled for the “extra $20” or whatever, but man I wish that was an option for this. If you aren't proficient in building things or something like furniture assembly, I recommend getting a friend who is to help out with this one. Honestly, its a pain in the neck but the finished product was worth it. The directions are oddly vague, and they don’t accurately label the hardware (nuts, bolts, washers etc.) so there is a bit of guess work involved there. Some pieces already have the hardware attached or in the holes but they don’t tell you that. There is no mention of washers in the directions either so make sure you use them on every connection. The bolt heads are very narrow so be sure to NOT forget the washers. Especially on pieces that attach in the slots/channels on the sides. The only other issue I had was with the felt pads they include for making the wheel podium more stationary and not as easily moved. Basically, it’s a pad that decreases the gap where the wheel stand attaches. Without this pad, there is some play in the wheels stand. It wiggles just a little bit, front to back but not laterally. It’s supposed to allow you to make adjustments easier but if you’re using any decent wheel, you’re going to feel it moving when driving. I had this issue so I quickly removed the bolts, popped in the felt pads and started to reattach them. Except now the holes don’t line up. I understand the concept of making that gap smaller to reduce movement, but it’s so small you can’t fit the bolt in as it should be. I had to remove the pads, reattach the back half of the wheel stand, tilt it back and slide the pads under the bracket, then smash it forward and put the front screws back in. So it’s not exact but it stopped the wiggle and my wheel stand is incredibly solid now. There is ZERO wiggle room, and no flexing anywhere when under force now. I use a Fanatec ClubSport Wheel Base V2.5, and while it’s no direct drive, it’s not too far off and has the strongest FFB I’ve ever felt from a base that’s NOT a direct drive. I wanted to include as much of the info as I could because I know it was difficult for me to finally decide on a setup. It may seem like a negative review based on my comments about the assembly, but all that frustration still only knocks off 1 star for me. Let that speak for the quality and design of this cockpit. In saying all that, this setup is very sturdy, and can be adjusted to fit just about anyone. It’s comfortable and even looks pretty good while not being over the top. I’m extremely happy with this purchase and I would highly recommend this cockpit for anyone who’s looking for a complete setup (minus wheel/pedals obviously). I also purchased the TV mount attachment and put a 36” TV on it. It is perfect for the setup. Very sturdy and I would recommend getting that attachment as well.

bought this for my husband as an upgrade from his previous race set up. He loves it and it was easy to assemble and comfortable.

Este cockpit gamer de la marca Next Level es una opción excelente para los amantes de los videojuegos de simulación de conducción, especialmente si buscas una experiencia auténtica y cómoda. Una de sus características destacadas es la posibilidad de ajustar el asiento en dos posiciones diferentes: la de Turismo y la de Fórmula 1. Personalmente, tengo el asiento fijo en la posición de F1, que considero la más cómoda tanto para juegos de simulación como para otros títulos de conducción. Es importante tener en cuenta que este asiento es bastante voluminoso, por lo que necesitarás disponer de un buen espacio en tu habitación o sala de juegos. Una vez montado, se convierte en una maravilla para cualquier entusiasta de los simuladores. La estructura es sólida, con materiales de alta calidad que garantizan durabilidad y resistencia. Incluso jugando con un volante con force feedback, no tendrás problemas de estabilidad, lo que mejora aún más la sensación de realismo. En cuanto al montaje, debo advertir que no es tarea fácil, especialmente si planeas hacerlo solo y no eres muy hábil con las herramientas. Requiere algo de paciencia, ya que algunas piezas pueden ser difíciles de ajustar. Sin embargo, el esfuerzo vale la pena, ya que una vez ensamblado, el cockpit te ofrece una gran ergonomía y comodidad, permitiéndote disfrutar de largas sesiones de juego sin molestias. Aunque el precio es algo elevado, puedo decir que la inversión está más que justificada por la calidad de los materiales y la comodidad del asiento. Si eres un apasionado de los juegos de simulación de conducción y tienes el espacio para este cockpit, es una opción que te proporcionará una experiencia de conducción inmersiva como ninguna otra.

A quality, solid race rig. Only downside is that it’s a bit of a pain to build. I’m 6’4 and I can easily fit. Super comfy!

Amazing product ! Would recommend two people for the build or it may take a while.

恥ずかしながら コクピットは4台目の購入になります。過去の物はブレーキを踏むたび ハンドルを切る度に フレームが軋んでいましたがこいつはびくともしません。今流行りの？アルミの極太のやつに比べると 剛性は落ちると思いますが運転中に気になる事はないです。 MOZAのR9を取り付けています。公式動画で言っていましたが 8ニュートンくらいまでなら大丈夫だと思います。この商品はDD向けに作られた物ではないみたいですが 耐えれるというのが剛性を物語っています。 補強キットが同封されているはずですので 無ければ確認した方が良いです。今買う方はまず入っていると思います。これがあるのと無いので多少変わってくるはずです。 一体型のモニタースタンドを購入しましたが トリプルモニター用のキットも入っています。 私はシングルなので不用でした。このあたりも補強キットもそうなのですが きっちり入っていますので非常に好感が持てます。恐らく他メーカーなら弱みにつけ込んでw別料金だと思います。 大型モニターの方は 1番前に取り付けないと圧迫感があるので モニター アクセル ハンコンにした方が距離が取れて良い感じになります。これを アクセル モニター ハンコンの順番で付けましたのでやり直しました。 48インチですが丁度良いです。 調整幅は決して広くないですが 時間をかければ良いポジション出来ます。不器用ですので 組み立てから調整まで20時間程かかりました 入門機としては非常におすすめです！最初からこれにしとけば..と思ったけど１０年前はこれ無かったんよねw ちなみにAmazonにはないですが こちらのメーカーの上位モデル 例の極太アルミのやつもあります。公式サイトにありますが 色々不安だったのでやめましたが 物は間違いないと思います。参考までに！

Its worth it
