The Prototype - Made with Passion


Hello everybody,
Beginning from my hobby playing racing games, I've built my own racing cockpit. I showed it to my friends, and surprisingly receive many positive feedback, questions and requests. This is the  starting point of launching this product.
The main purpose of this setup is for you to get the most out of your racing game. Compared with  standard controller, play using steering wheel is very much different immersion. Steering wheel will guarantee you consistency and accuracy. But, despite using steering wheel, if it was still attached to your furniture table you are still a bit behind the total enjoyment. Using dedicated cockpit /frame like this one will boost your experience and feeling, not mentioning additional peripherals like surround sound system and bass shaker (buttkicker, etc).
This cockpit was originally built for playing Gran Turismo, simply because it's my favourite game. Along with that, it can also be used for playing other console games or PC-based simulation.






Features:
  1. All-In-one package : Game seat, TV, console, in one body. All the things you need to play the game is attached firmly on the frame. no need for additional table, shelf, or other furniture. Very simple and practicable. It's like having your own arcade machine at home.
  2. Tubular steel materials for main frame. Main frame made of tubular steel materials guarantees strength and rigidity. Rolled pipe arranged artistically to provide good and admirable appearance.
  3. Thick steel plates for table and support. Table made of thick steel plate, again, guarantee the strength.
  4. Clean and tidy wiring management. One thing that many gamer often missed is the wiring. This cockpit was designed so the cable are neat and tidy. Tidy, Good looking, and safe. The above picture featuring fully-installed cockpit (with all the cables) can be seen as an example. Very hard to see exposed wire there..
  5. Fully Sliding and reclining, semi Bucket Seat. Using semi-bucket seat, can be adjusted forward /backward (sliding) and adjustable degree of the seat (reclining). Want to relax a bit between races? Yes you can !! 
  6. Dimension W x L : 50cm x 150cm, No need large space, ideal for usage inside bedroom, dorm, apartment, gaming room of even game centre. 
  7. Detachable segment for easy transportation and other usage.  Upon request, this cockit can be separated into 3 parts (TV section, steering table section, and seat section). So it will be easier for transportation, move between room, or other purposes.
  8. Special Requests are welcome. This is a custom made cockpit, not a mass product (well, not yet :) ), So, whatever you need, let's think about it together !!


Options:
  • DFGT /G25 /G27 usage, T500RS compatibility still on progress
  • Right Hand Drive /Left Hand Drive,
  • Special body posture (for kids /tall /fat),
  • Special body position (imitating position of driving a: minibus, saloon car, open wheeler… )
  • Available colour: grey or matte black is highly recommended.
  • Other customization: cup holder, keyboard stand, speaker stand, adapter for Buttkicker, etc. Would you like to go for inverted pedals, lets do it !


This cockpit had been went through long experiment and testing, privately or by community. Below the picture during GTIC (Gran Turismo Indonesia Community), tested and received good responses. Only minor issue regarding height of TV. but no worries, since everything is custom-made.


@omDidit : Laporan Gath

sekalian izin review cockpitnya omDidit,
Satu, hal pertama yang dirasakan cockpitnya indeed Eye Catching karena konstruksinya dibikin lekuk2 mulus dan lebih bergaya tentunya ,

Kedua, dari segi finishing coatnya rata dan terlihat bagus, dibarengi dengan jok yang nyaman, jahitan pada jok juga terlihat sangat rapi tidak ada gelembung2 dan leathernya nyaman didudukin.

Ketiga, posisi TV yang rigid tapi kadang2 ngeri juga karena getaran yang dihasilkan stir G27 saat main, takutnya ada komponen internal yang longgar mengingat pemakaian Long term.

Keempat, jok yang sudah paten dengan relnya,TV sudah paten dengan rig-nya, stir,shifter panel,pedal mount sudah paten dibaut dengan rig-nya, kyknya overall sudah selesai ini, kecuali omDidit tempo hari mau ngecat ulang rignya supaya sama dengan warna velg di CBnya , atau mungkin pedalnya mau diinversed...raccooonnnn...

oiya sebenernya satu lagi om PR buat cockpit saya, yaitu kabel HDMI hahahaa ......
