    Hello forum users!
    First of all, I want to say thanks to everyone for all the ideas on this site. Only with your help I was able to build my simulator.
    I decided to share my project. I rarely play races and therefore I had to look for a simulator solution,
    which can be removed so that it does not interfere.

    Here is my working place:

    My monitors are shifted to 26cm:

    then we go to the sofa from IKEA:

    which is my 2dof simulator:

    We take it out and put it:

    08.jpg
    09.jpg

    tighten the locking bolt:

    The steering wheel is stored on the balcony and does not interfere with anyone there. We bring and lay it:

    And install (shown by green arrows). The photo shows where the bearings are installed (number 1). :

    There is no sports seat in my city, not a new one that was not in use, but maybe once I can buy it.
    I had to temporarily make sheets of plywood and my old T-shirt:grin

    1 pilot weight balance adjustment
    2 pedal adjustment

    Ready you can go) Everything takes me 10-15 minutes. And a bit heavy for me, plan some parts
    change to aluminum:

    If you have questions, ask, I will try to help you.

    Hi @Dmraf,
    congratulations to your foldable simulator. That's a brilliant idea and very well done, including the modifications for your son.
    Now I need to make sure that my wife does not see pictures of it. Otherwise she will force me to make my rig foldable as well. Or even worse, she may try to fold my rig by herself.

    Do everything so that your spouse does not see the photo:). Otherwise, I will be ashamed that I framed you.:blush
