DIY Homemade Cockpit ETS & Farming Simulator

This is my DIY Simulator Rig built recently. I simply love ETS2 & FS17, so why not making something unique i thought. Target was to set up something i can spend many hours in the seat and feeling comfy all the way, reach buttons and switches in perfect distance.
Leave a comment for ideas, suggestions and feedback! Cheers

[@diekutscher2139]

thx buddy. Actually i finished my second cockpit in the meantime and published here too - check it out - view seconds in german. Going to take another one of this here checking bit more in detail in terms of hardware specs and modifications done so far

Mega cool gemacht

[@mpatman]

Very nice

[@diekutscher2139]

Thanks

[@Hooligoon78]

3 years late and I am sure you have done more to it but it is AWESOME!

[@diekutscher2139]

Thanks for your comment 🤗 Yeah - surely lots of updates came across - just an update video to the changes remains. Actually planned shortly. In some other streamed content you can have some rough idea in the meantime. Thanks for visiting my channel buddy

This take time to build it and plus custom big steering wheel but its amazing

[@martins.4742]

Sehr sehr nettes Setup. Macht Lust es nachzubauen. Dickes Lob.

[@diekutscher2139]

Martin S. Danke 😊

[@jannic7506]

Musstest du 2 oder 3 mal die Pro-Sim App für deine Displays kaufen? Übrigens wunderschönes Cockpit werde ich definitiv als Vorlage und Inspiration nutzen👍

[@diekutscher2139]

1 reicht - zudem kannst du dir so oder so eigene Dashboards erstellen, wofür keine Pro-Version anfällt.

Spät gefunden, den Beitrag, aber sieht mega cool aus! Beim USB Controller Board krieg ich Schalter (nicht Taster) nie richtig ans Laufen. ETS2 erkennt nicht, wenn der Schalter nach On in OFF geht und schaltet die Funktion nicht ab. Hast Du da Tipps für? Danke und VG Ditti

[@diekutscher2139]

Hi, Danke für dein Feedback! Es hat für solche Möglichkeiten Apps für PC, ohne dabei zwangsläufig auf Arduino Boards setzen zu müssen. Eine dieser Apps ist bspw. JoyToKey. Auf meinem Discord finden sich dazu viele Informationen rund um das Thema Simulation Hardware / Software insbesondere für Truck & Landwirtschafts Simulationen.

Nice Check my new Ats cockpit

How did you make the small joystick and button box?

[@diekutscher2139]

Hi, the push buttons as well as the joystick switches you can buy on many platforms for few bugs. Things left are a joystick controller board, which is about 5 bugs and eventually wiring and connecting the switches. All the modelling and design i did on my own just to use plywood or similar walls from furnitures, drilling some holes into it, placing the buttons and fit this to the rig. The finish is car wrapping foil. The switch for the lever is made of an aluminum profile bar and adjusted to fit onto the Wheelbase with two screws. So all in all pretty much custom. You can check out some steps of doing this in my other making off video here for my second cockpit i built. Cheers :-)

[@chaseyoung3172]

Who makes the switch panel?

[@diekutscher2139]

Chase Young the Panel is from Logitech and is legacy from Saitek. Logitech has acquired Saitek three years ago. It is called Farm Sim side panel.

[@alvinteo8480]

the car seat how much you buy

[@diekutscher2139]

张志贤ALVIN TEO Hi, the Seat of course is used but in perfect condition. You can buy these at scrapyards dealing with cars to be scrapped starting 25 Euro up to 60 maybe - so quite cheap
