You're welcome! Thanks for watching them. The truth is I don't have the space for the one I just got but damn it I'll make it fit! :) I need to find some furniture sliders though because this thing doesn't move around easy on the carpet at all.

[Barnacules]

There was no weight limit that I could see but it is a real car seat so I would expect it to work just fine. I only weigh 285lb and I fit perfectly with a little room to spare so I think it could work for you. I would suggest trying to find some place where you could go try one out first but I can tell you right now out of all the cockpits I've tried this does have the largest seat and most configurable position.

[Barnacules]

Mike, everything is adjustable including the back, you can tilt it all the way back and lay down if you want.

[Barnacules]

I honestly think the link is all that, I wasn't approached with an affiliate link until after I made the video so everything I say in the video is genuine. I also didn't receive any discount on the unit when I purchased it so what I say is true, it's a fantastic seat and I would buy it again in a heartbeat. Assembly is a pain in the ass but other then that it's fantastic.

[Barnacules]

It does take a long time to assemble. Mostly because I had to keep rebuilding the same sections to get it right.

[Barnacules]

Works just like it was brand new, after using it for a while I have no complaints.

[Barnacules]

I just use it for sims, I have not tried FPS however with the keyboard tray I imagine it would be fine. Also I do not have a handbreak but I do want to install one. I would dill out the bar under the seat and mount it on that.

[Barnacules]

Yeah, I figured as much. as stuff comes loose I will fix it up properly even if I have to buy new bolts.

[Barnacules]

Thank you! Yeah I was shocked at how many parts there were and just how hard of an assembly it was. But if I had to do it again from scratch with what I know it would take 1/3rd as long.

Happy to say I got one of these bad boys for Christmas.  Shopped around and went with this brand/model based on this vid and some others. Thanks.

[Barnacules]

It will! This simulator is incredibly versatile.

[Barnacules]

I think it's just a really thick paint coat. It looks a lot like powder coat though just not as thick.

[Barnacules]

Yeah assembly is tricky but it's a really solid unit once you get it assembled.

[Barnacules]

Yup, and then they cover it up so later on you take it apart and find stripped bolts and missing stuff.

[Barnacules]

I can't wait to try it out myself, all that time building and no time playing it made me sleep bad last night ;)

[Barnacules]

Glad to be of some help, hope you enjoy it and get a video up once you get that bad boy dialed in.

[Barnacules]

Tiger Direct ($100) 2 years ago, good luck finding another one though because they were a black Friday deal. When it arrived there wasn't even a brand name on the box :)

[Barnacules]

Yeah, I had everything. If your missing parts contact them I'm sure they will send you new ones.

[Barnacules]

It was $700 for the gaming cockpit, I picked it up locally so didn't have to pay S&H.

[Barnacules]

I know... I know... I just love getting them even more worked up then they already are ;)
