You can also purchase pre-assembled simulator rigs that can fold up for storage.
Some will be just the basic rack, and you will need to purchase the seat separate.
Others will have a seat, but you may need to buy additional mountings for controllers or monitors.
What you purchase will no doubt come down to what you are able to afford, choose wisely what you prefer it to be made from, ensuring that it is strong enough to take the weight of you and all your equipment.
Always look carefully at exactly what is included in the price, will you need to buy additional fittings?
and make sure it is designed to fit the exact that equipment you have.
Simulator rigs can range from a simple small platform that bolt on to a computer desk or table, to a full-blown realistic and working car or cockpit, along with many others in-between.
Prices can range from as little as forty pounds to a mind-blowing forty thousand, even more for professional simulators used for flight training for commercial or military pilots.
Most of the pre-built frames are made out of either tubular steel or square steel tubing, that are fixed in shape with limited adjustment to seat or pedal position, and height of the platform to which yo mount the steering wheel. They also do not have mountings for monitors, so the prices advertised is just the start.
Extruded Aluminium is also popular for 'Racing Simulators', this can be a bit more adjustable as they are bolted together, and you can always add more struts to mount additional items.
Remember: These are the frames only, they do not include the wheels, pedals or gear sticks.
