So... all the posts out there seem only to talk of which ones to get and which ones suck. What I'm looking for is actually setting it up, bear with...
So my roommate got a stearing wheel and pedals to play GT4. Don't ask me which one, I don't know. It works fine, all the buttons work, its calibrates itself on every start-up etc. etc.
The problem we are having is physically setting it up; physically placing it somehow that it is comfortable to use. Yes, it has the clamps to attach to a table or desk, but what to attach it to?
A desk would be perfect... but the bigscreen is in the living room... no desks there.
Then we thought, "move the kitchen table into the living room." But its too big and we cant see the TV.
What about the coffee table? Too short, we're 4 full-grown adult males and can't really fit our legs uder the coffee table and still get our feet on the pedals.
We've tried the board-across-the-recliner-arms thing... it doesn't work, our arms are too long to drive on our laps. The force feedback is too strong anyways.
The best I can think of is obtaining a sawhorse and cutting it short.
Currently the steering wheel is attached to a flimsy tv-dinner tray. We had to weigh it down with half a volume of an encyclopedia to keep it steady. This isn't cutting it.
Any suggestions?
Have any of you ever tackled this problem before?
