@Bru Rred It's not really about the padding when they have the design of a lawn chair. If your a large guy I'd go for the FGT over the playseat challenge due to how narrow the playseat is.

The F-GT can be a pain in the arse to set up each time. However if you grab yourself a paint marker and mark the joints prior to collapsing, you can achieve your previous setups every time. Mark one colour for F1 and another for GT and another for whatever you want etc etc. Also FYI the newer model does not have the mesh in the seat but only in the backrest.

May I suggest where you say the pedals could be too close for taller people, if you extend the front chair leg (by pushing in the silver buttons shown at 29.13) then angle the front leg away from you more that will keep the front of the chair the same height but push the pedals away. Also when folding up if you move the pedals down away from the cross bar, left all the adjusters loose then used the Velcro strap that would make it more compact. Good vid by the way, thanks.

Liked the entire vid - the lack of fine tuning adjustability is an issue. Like Karl says and you could clearly see, in F1 position the back rest was too inclined or too upright. Needed a position in the middle of those, however with the large teeth in the adjustment that was impossible. A suggested tweak to Pagnian would be for the the interior cogs to have closer teeth to allow for finer tuning in adjustment

I just got this thing after much research based on my available space, I will say that getting it back to the same folded shape every time is not exactly easy. Set up and take down are longer than I would like, but still completely acceptable. I just got to the part where he found out you only want to have one axis loose at a time. Yup, and the shifter has to detach each time for storage unless you have a really weird shaped closet hole. None of these are deterrants overall, just observations. It is exactly what I needed for the application. My only real complaint is how heavy the beast is, VERY STOUT. Built for all size of gamers, emphasis on wide n beefy. I am 5'11 and had to drill out holes on the pedal mounts to add a few inches, just the far sliding bracket only. My knees were knocking the wheel mount bar when stock using the pedals that come with the T-248 thrustmaster set.

Hey Karl I just wanted to say big thanks to what you do! You helped tremendously with your great review. Here in Saudi, sim racing hardware is next to nonexistent. Only one place sells a few rigs and getting any online is a seriously bad idea considering shipping alone costs double the product price. Eventually, I went with the F-GT Lite here and I couldn't be happier with this purchase. So again, thank you and I'll be looking into your shifter reviews soon!

Thanks for the review. I think you could get the seat move back a bit by moving both the back and the support one notch for the "F1 position". It would raise the chair a bit, but not too much (I think) and you would lean back more but hopefully not too much. Not sure it works, but could be worth a try for those open wheel sessions :)

@Rengah
@Rengah 4 жыл бұрын
I think I'm in the same boat, haven't had the playseat challenge myself, but just setting up this seat every time is such a hassle... It's also because there's more options with how you set it up, that is what takes all of the time. Once you've got it setup it's a nice seat, but then you have to put it back and next time you take it out, you have all of this work again to find the right seating position. All in all, alot of work and still quite bulky when folded away. I think the playseat Challenge would be a better fit for just quick setting up and folding away.

I'm 5ft 6 I'm quite small but looks very short on the arms even fora midget like me? I know you said your 5ft 11in was the wheel distance a natural distance or am I correct in thinking its quite short from your shoulder to the wheel may just be the camera angle? I really like this little rig but need 1 that doesn't require too much bodging to make it comfortable lmao, great video yet again Karl I'm actually starting to take your advice over the likes of boosted media & chris haye they are absolutely great if your a pc guru but you seem to be able to keep things qs simple as possible or at least you can explain easily without too much detail so keep it up bro, you have covered everything else I was wondering other than my question

Hey Karl, love this video! Would like to ask something, my apologies if you mentioned it in the video but it just flew by my head. Am sure quite a few of us may want to know as I believe there are many "desk racers" out there like myself. Of course a wheel stand is a great solution but having a dedicated racing cockpit that can be stored away also appeals to us. I noticed that in the video the GT position can be set up to be fairly tall; but question is, if I were to place the F-GT Lite right in front of my computer desk(maybe adjust the monitor further up front and at it's lowest height setting), would it be still too low to have a comfortable experience? I believe a common table height we have here is about 73 or so centimeters( or 29 inches)

The stepped adjustments are really large...i just wished that it had Small adjustments... I'm having this issue when using Thrustmaster T300 wheel, when i used it with the G29 it was further away and was ok.

Thanks mate! You will definitely be snug in the Playseat... too snug? Hmm maybe.

Found your channel today, have to say I love the reviews! I do have 1 question though... Would you say it is acceptable to put any sort of direct drive wheel on a foldable cockpit? I have my head set on the fanatec dd entry level wheel base and have very limited space so a foldable is kind of a must for me. Would it be possible to see a review of a DD hub on this seat?

I don't have this cockpit anymore but if you look in my video's (or search) I test the CSL DD on the Playseat Challenge which is basically identical to this from a rigidity point of view.

Loved the review, i agree that if it was able to recline a tiny bit more, it would have been very nice both back and bottom. And with the risk as sounding as a horrible, horrible person - that's a bit of an unfortunate model name.

You can recline it a little more. It's just very awkward to do it. You basically need to use your whole body. But also the reason that it's meant to be more upright is because that's how a racing seat, in a race car is positioned

Karl, as always a great video! Your insights and how you analyze things is always spot on and helpful! Quick odd question about the cockpit... do you know average what is the eye height for someone from your height when in GT position? I am about the same height and my setup has a little quirk regarding the height due to the screen...

Hey Karl, great vid, very comprehensive! I chose the Playseat Challenge instead of this as I was concerned, as the seat stretched over time, that you would be end up resting on those cross bars. Your thoughts?

If the material does stretch then yes you will for sure.

Thanks again Karl! From both your videos I would say the Playseat wins in compactness which is why you would want one of these. Would the F-GT lite's seemingly better rigidity and mounting for the pedals have it ahead? I think I have the Playseat ahead overall by a hair.

Good stuff! One thing I'm wondering and maybe you can help me out, is there a way to use the pedal deck and shifter mount from this one onto a playseat challenge? I like the fact that you can screw the pedals in (like you've mentioned) and also curious about the shifter mount. Not to mention, being able to get those separately is a different question altogether.
