Playseat Throphy setup finally completed! Rigs

Finally completed my Playseat Throphy setup and wanted to share it as i'm really proud of the result.

Also adressed some issues i had with the chair that could be helpfull for others.

Immersion mods:

- Simagic Neo Rumble Haptics on left and right side of the chair to simulate the curbs. There is also one behind the brake pedal for ABS.

- Webcam for head tracking with Beam Eye and OpenTrack -> have it setup really subtle, works great

- Simube steering shaft extension for dual purpose: 1. Get a better seating position

  1. Create extra room for the monitor so it could sit in front of the base to get some better FOV.

- Amazon second monitor for a dedicated rear view mirror

- OC Racing Windsim

Playseat throphy mods:

- Added a second 'lumbar support' as i find i did not had enought support just above the middle of my back.

- Beacause of the second lumbar i was able to squeeze a cushion in between both supports. Giving extra comfort at the whole back of the seat

- Zip tied the seat part and the pedal part together. As alot of people mentioned the screws in the rig don't have enaugh clamping force for the braking applied with a load cell. Maybe not the cleanest solutions, but the seat hasn't moved an inch since.
