Don't forget to share your finished work in our Facebook group! We'd love to see how it turned out. I was really happy with the placement. The effect was awesome, with just a tiny bit of reflection on the monitors. You can barely notice it during day races though!

Looks amazing, awesome detailed tips! Do you find adding the roof made you get hot faster when using the rig?

Thanks no it didn’t feel any hotter since I left a bit open just above my head and I have a fan I use when I get warm anyway

How did you mount your z5500 on the rig and also did you mount the rear speakers? Super clean setup! The roof is indeed very nice !
@simracingden
@simracingden Год назад
Thanks! I used Trak Racer's speaker mounts for the TR8 - trakracer.com/products/tr8-5-speaker-kit?ref=Yhvdp_5RM04bsP. As for the rear speakers I did have them mounted too but removed for now since for some reason I can't get my rear surrounds working seems to be a windows issue. Thanks for watching!

amazing! I'm following the steps to make the same one, did you glue the vinyl on top and also on the bottom of the mdf? did you paint the edges or is it also vinyl?
@simracingden
@simracingden Год назад
I didn’t glue the vinyl it is self adhesive for the around the edges I used thin vinyl tape. Good luck with your roof!

great job for the roof, how come you moved the monitors between the base and the steering wheel compared to the previous setup?
@simracingden
@simracingden Год назад
Thanks! I wanted to try getting the screens closer to the wheel to see how it felt and at that coordinating FOV so far it feels better for me and more realistic.

@zazadj1 Год назад
@@simracingden ok i had that too, first then i moved back to half base to also have a bit of the hub effect plus a part of the base like on mercedes gt3 or porsche, then i have 3d prints for the sockets air to simulate the dashboard a bit, unfortunately every car is different and being able to adapt to all of them is a bit of a problem. if you want to see there are two videos in my channel

Hi friend, i really really love your simrig roof design. Im trying to match your design in it's entirety. But i know that it is impossible. Please, can you tell me where you got your custom design part from? I mean the auto custom design in the middle of your roof. Thanks for the inspiration men.

@simracingden
@simracingden Год назад
Yes, that can be an issue; you could always try a tiny shade to block out the top but still leave room for your accessories on top of the monitor. So I had to remove the roof for now as It doesn't work with my bezel-free kit will do a re-design with a cut-out for them at some point.
