    This is LITERALLY “the” cockpit to try to make.
    Small, discreet, and still way more badass than what everyone else has!

    Awesome job just a suggestion adding a small fan behind the air vent so when you turn the air on the fan blows out the vent , realism and help dry sweaty hands

    Moin, you made a fine RIG there
    I'm more of a hobby at ACC at the Series X and just looked at what material had accumulated over the years.
    I built my RIG completely out of wood and this is what it looks like now. It only has to be filled and then painted black with orange accents.
    However, it has become quite massive (1.72 mx 1.20 m). I built in the Gamechair as only I am allowed to sit in it. So he didn't have to go on any rails.
    Unfortunately, the options on the XBox are very limited.
    I took the 3 vibrators + control from an old massage mat, screwed 2 of them into the seat and the third to the pedals. Connected via the subwoofer of the Gamechair. Not as optimal as on a PC, but the result is astonishingly good. Engine vibrations, curbs or gear changes are simulated well.
    I can proudly say that I have made something fantastic for me out of "junk in the basement". Except for a few corners, I had everything lying around.
    I think it's great when someone thinks about it and builds something for themselves. Anyone can buy ... 😄
    Definitely a nice video of you with a great result.
    Here is a very short video of my RIG in its current state.

Omly thing I would do different (Id did it for my rig" would be: go to offer up and search for any JVC home theater 5.1. I bought mine for $30 dollars and they work wonderful. You will love it. But other than that, congratulations, it looks amazing.
