That sim rig is insane !

Do you reckon the large fan is to simulate the wind blowing through his hair?

Very envious - you must have a very tolerant partner. I get grief from all my guitars - i'll show my wife this pic and i might get some slack. Very cool - what do you play most? You wouldn't get me off F1 or Project Cars.

@orbitalwalsh will literally crea.. - well lets not complete that sentence.

Its in the loft so out the way.

I play RF2, PC2, AC, ACC, AMS2, RaceRoom and Dirt 4

No, its actually to keep me cool.

The new PC was idle 32deg in the kitchen and not 39deg in the lost. Ambient temp diff is 7deg. Need to fgigure out a way to cool the loft. I have two velux facing the garden and could maybe fit one at the front for air flow however I may need planning permission.

I could go air con but that seems extreem and noisy

Yeah, i know. But, funny to imagine you shifting the fan about yourself to simulate orientation of game. I'm sure someone, somewhere has a multiple fan config that does this - i've seen some really elaborate setups.

You should get the planning - it's just a PITA. But it should be worth it for the through draft.
