Lyrinx Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Hello, So Im looking to get a cheap but sturdy Simpit i can use in VR so it doesn't need to be too fancy, I've had a look at monstertech but they are way too expensive, just wondering if anyone has any suggestions of other companies that do rigs and thoughts on the rigs. if possible looking to have my joystick centre mounted, and dont need to worry about monitor mounts. vLyrinx Discord: vLyrinx#2840 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hector45 Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 I'd say some lumber and plywood from your local hardware store is the way to go. Far cheaper and infinitely customizable.

Leader98 Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 (edited) Plywood and some plastic pipe will create a nice VR pit (in VR you will not notice the wood and plastic ) Edited November 1, 2021 by Leader98 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_sukebe Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 I used some 3*3 fence posts, a saw and copious amounts of screws to build what appears to be a pretty damn solid frame. Then I dropped a s/h MX5 seat onto the frame. Jobs a good un'. Rough cost, about £60 all in. 1 System: 9700, 64GB DDR4, 2070S, NVME2, Rift S, Jetseat, Thrustmaster F18 grip, VPC T50 stick base and throttle, CH Throttle, MFG crosswinds, custom button box, Logitech G502 and Marble mouse.
