Besides its limitations I really like the design. I was a big fan of the Playseat Challenge, since the seat construction was surprisingly stable, everlasting and comfortable (more comfy than my later SimLab Bucket seat).

Its actually pretty easy to jump in after someone else in this cockpit. There is a Huuuuuge amount of space between your legs and wheel. My friend has this rig and he is 5'8" and I am 6'4". I had no issues driving after him for a few hours without any modification whatsoever. This is by far the most Rigid Portable Sim Cockpit on the market. And portable is a massive thing in most sim racers list of desired features. Great review as usual and thanks for all the info, I am definitely

Thank you so much for the review. I received mine this past weekend. I'm excited to finally be a true sim racer with GT 7 out today (on my birthday of all days :) I agree with your take about the adjustability. I am constantly loosening screws and retighting it when switching between my wife, brothers, friends, and myself. It is a nice looking and functioning cockpit overall. Love how light it is as well.
@crkvend 2 жыл бұрын
Hey Abel, do you find that when switching between users, it’s usually enough to just adjust the main extension (the distance between the front part and back part) or do you feel like you have to also adjust the pedals and the seat? I’m thinking maybe it would be possible to just get thumb screws for the main extension, that way you wouldn’t at least need tools.
@Abel_GTx 2 жыл бұрын
@@crkvend the pedal tray has a lot of adjustments which makes it easier to adjust to a range of heights. I am 5’9 and my wife is 5’0. When we switch that’s all I have to adjust. It took us a bit to set it up. But once we found the right combinations, it’s become easier. It’s is a bit annoying though particularly if you are switching back and forth. But we usually play for 3-5 hours stints. So it’s not too bad.

It looks really great in design and great to move around the flat but perhaps on a good sale it may tempt me.

Got it 2nd hand a year ago and its a great cockpit, if you are a casual racer that does not swap around drivers and don't have a room just equipped for racing ;-) Fits perfect for me 1,85m (75kg) I can sit in it for hours. It is very sturdy and might have some tiny tiny flex in it but it does not bother you at all when driving. I've got it in my living room and can swap it easily to the corner after being done racing. As it is very light & compact as Karl mentions in the video.

I think the part of the price is the actual movability of the cockpit. I think it adds to the price tag, and I value that a lot. I need to move it, I love your review - best cockpit reviews on the web. I will probably get this one, as it doesn't weight much, it's really sturdy and it's movable. EDIT: I got it and love it. I also got the shifter/e-brake mount (I emailed them, shop didn't have that at the time) and I mounted DD pro, CSL load cell kit and both the shifter and e-brake.

First of all, I love your reviews on all the Simracing stuff! Thanks a lot! I‘m considering buying this rig too. The only thing that keeps me from ordering is that I cannot guess how high and adjustable the wheel will sit on the plate and how it will fit my height. I‘m about 174cm. How is the adjustability and comfort if you would tilt the wheel a bit downwards? Is the seating and driving position still okay-ish? How angled would I have to put the screen then to make sense? I would attach a Fanatec CSW2.5 with the BMW GT2 wheel.

It's a good-looking unit. I went for an NLR GT Lite a few years ago, before this was around. If it had been, I would have bought it. One modification I would make, if I were in the market, would be to brace the wheel deck at the front with a horizontally-mounted bar, to which I'd fasten 2 uprights which would then go down the the frame (which is running front to rear). I think this mod might be fiddly, but it would enable the use of a mid-range DD drive. Great review, Karl. EDIT: I've just bought a Logi G Pro wheel and an NLR GT Elite aluminium profile rig.

Great review Karl, and thanks for addressing my question regarding if it can easily be stored in two pieces. What surprises me the most about this is that it seems impossible to adjust the seat height (or the wheel height) in any way. The wheel definitely looked to be to high up for you, and if there is no way to change the “ass to wheel” ratio (™️), that seems like a pretty big drawback. Edit: According to their website, seat height is adjustable, tho they provide no info whatsoever, nor a download of the manual.
@KarlGosling 2 жыл бұрын
No worries mate, it was a good question to ask! lol "ass to wheel ratio" and I like that you trade marked it too! But no it's not adjustable, if you extend where that front and back halves join then that also raises or lowers the front of the seat as it's angled, but thats it.

I also found it weirdly more comfortable than the titan. I would also argue that size adjustability isn't a problem. It has a lot more upwards leg space and my my 1.83m body was able to drive it at the same setting my 1.60m wife used. I sadly was never able to compare it to the ART

Hi Karl, how did you mount the DD Pro on the plate? Are you still using the table clamp? Great video!!

Just bolted straight on mate, no clamp.

Thanks so much for this review Karl! How is the GT Omega Titan to move around compared to the Playseat Trophy for someone that would need to put it aside once finished racing? Is the Titan much heavier or more of a pain to move about?
@richardhudson1543 2 жыл бұрын
The titan is very heavy but I've added castors in place of the 6 feet it has to make it more manageable. Also in my opinion the titan is a much better cockpit
@KarlGosling 2 жыл бұрын
Yeah add some casters and you'll be fine, the addition of more material and a proper seat make it much heavier than this.
@aaronegro 2 жыл бұрын
I added larger caster rubber wheels to protect the wooden floor from markings and moving the Titan is as easy as pushing a large trolley. The only think I dislike about the omega is the fact it cannot provide much adjustability for the wheel itself. Otherwise, tremendously solid.

I have a feeling we'll see a drop in price too, sales will not be strong as they are... unless they can keep stock when everyone else is out of course! Paint it the same colour as your walls or carpet and it will blend right in mate, she'll never notice! ;)

Enjoy watching your reviews, I’m torn between cockpits. Which one would you go for out the following that fit my budget. The Sim Hound Profile (you reviewed the Scooby), GT Omega Titan, GT Omega Art, will be used with Thrustmaster TGT. Or do you have another option? Im thinking Titan just as like look of tubular frame.
@KarlGosling 2 жыл бұрын
Sim Hound is the most adjustable and fairly rigid, Titan is the most solid and nice looking, ART is the cheapest but has the most flex and wobble.

Use it since 2 months in combination with the Asetek Forte Bundle and I'm actually happy with. No feelable flex, looks good, can easy be moved. Had do drill new holes for the base + pedals, but this is ok. One MAJOR issue I have tough... The lenght adjustment clamping is too weak. Under heavy breaking, the seat will lengthen itself, which is really annoying. Seems the only solution to this is, to drill a hole and stuck a bolt/screw throgh to fix it.
@TheDoctor46vr 6 ай бұрын
Do you think VRS pedals are overkill for this? I dont plan to use high kg of force, if they still are worth it, great. if not then i can get something like the CSL V2's
@TomTheSurgen1 Жыл бұрын
If I pop thumb screws where the seat brace meats the frame, will the seat foot fold forward. Thinking about the screwing that and wheel brace, so and drop wheel and fold seat back forward

For sure. As nice looking as it is, it's grossly overpriced - as are most cockpits nowadays. I think £300 would be a fair price for this. I just can't seem to justify upgrading my PS Challenge at the moment, but I really need to.
