    Maybe it's a upgrade for me next year, but first I've to email Heusinkveld to ask how much their plates cost. If HE plates are 120 euro, then I just use the HE plates...

    Do you mean the standard HE plates or do they have others as well?

    Started my DIY rig a couple of years ago, all based on 30x60 and 30x30 alu profiles, it was my own design after few weeks of research and brainstorming.

    I was happy with it but I have managed to find the time finally to spend the last 3 weekends to do some long overdue upgrades.

    I didn't want to buy already made stuff so almost everything put together is coming from bits and pieces I had in the apartment.

    not showing off or anything, just hoping it might inspire some of you guys here.

    This is the way the whole rig looks like with the seat and seat frame being a legacy of a PLAYSEAT EVOLUTION I had for few years.

    [​IMG]
    so in recent weeks,I started to add a mini keyboard acting as a button box

    [​IMG]
    then a smartphone mounting used with a spare smartphone I had laying around

    [​IMG]
    a slider made for the PLAYSEAT

    [​IMG]
    all of them have been great additions, but these 2 are my favorite now

    I have had already 6 bass shakers running through Simhub on the rig, 2 in backseat, 2 under the seat and 2 at the front of the rig but adding this amp and 2 resonance speakers ($20 on aliexpress) is literally a game changer in immersion (yes I know some cable management to be finalized....)
    I set wheel slip on the throttle, and wheel lock/ABS on the brake again via Simhub for great haptics effect.

    [​IMG]
    and finally the cherry on the cake, keyboard tray placed under the wheel base.
    I had been debating for weeks if I wanted to have it on the side with an arm or indeed under the wheel base.I concluded that the position shown here was the best and oh boy how I was right.

    I do game mostly in VR, also 4k desktop sometimes, so its pretty easy to pull the keyboard while in Game, hitting the keys I need to either by memory or using the headset passthrough

    pushed back position

    typing position

    the beauty of this very simple and cheap thing is that I can take off my NEO GT rim and use my HOTAS set for simflying by positioning them on the tray itself.

    I don’t have room to get decent images but these are the ones. I build my own wooden simrig based on the SimLab. It’s very sturdy with the R5 and CSL elite LC pedals.

    I miss the feel of the material, I had to get rid of it because my upper back is to big for it :( I tried putting foam pads under the og pads to lift it out of the bucket a bit but in the end it just wasn't comfortable enough....I've been through 5 seat so far and seem to have settled on a Sparco R333 now. Nowhere near as nice of material as the Japan but overall fits me better.
