I got a bunch of Amazon gift cards for Christmas, thinking of putting it towards a sim chair. The main requirement is that I do not want a bar between my legs, I want it open like a car.
The first is the Next Level Racing F-GT cockpit: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FY342LV/
It's interesting in that the seating position is convertible so you can set it like a regular GT car, or drop it down for a formula perspective. Seems to be well reviewed.
The other is the GTR Racing Simulator GTA cockpit: https://www.amazon.com/GTR-Simulator...dp/B01NAH6I2F/
It's about $100 cheaper and is a more traditional design. The big complaint I have seen with it is the wheel mount portion is not as sturdy as it should be. That's a huge drawback as that's kind of the whole point of these. Supposedly they can be reinforced but it voids the warranty to modify it.
Anyone have any direct experience with either of these? Or thoughts based on general observations? I'm not going to purchase it until I'm sure I have the Rift problem corrected as I do not intend to use this with monitors. If money were no object I'd have an Obutto, but that's not in the cards.
