Final thoughts on the Pro Series Cockpit from the guys at All in 1 gaming. This is the second video in a two part review series on their Pro Series cockpit called the “Setup”. See the first video called “The Build” for a detailed look at this cockpits parts and build process. The first component to be mounted was the Direct Drive motor I would be using for real world testing. It was a Mige 20Nm servo. The front mount included in my kit allowed me to easily mount this servo with its 102mm hole spacing. It will also accommodate Simucube and Kollmorgen servos. Once mounted with the bolts properly torqued, it did not move when I applied some pressure to it. Of course, the only true test as to a cockpits motor mount stiffness is to test it with the motor set to it’s highest torque limit. I ran the Mige at 100% torque and dialed in the iRacing setting to a very high level. I would not want to run an hour long race at these levels, but thought it appropriate for putting enough stress on the motor mount to show any flex. After some hard laps at Sebring I could neither feel nor see any flex in the motor mount assembly. Allowing all the FFB details that the 20Nm Mige is capable of delivering to be felt. This is what a premium priced cockpit should do. Next, my attention moved to the pedal tray assembly. Here again, while putting a good amount of pressure on it during my heel and toe shifting practice, I felt nor could see any flex in that assembly. Not a big surprise considering the design of the pedal tray. With no less than 5 M8 bolts securing the mount to the 90×90 chassis rails. Now on to the shifter mount assembly. I used the Pro upgrade on my cockpit to secure the very large Pro Sim H pattern shifter. I did have to pay attention to center gear rod protruding from the shifter housing but had little trouble getting to line up the way I wanted it to. This is a heavy duty shifter that you can slam around without worrying about it breaking. So if a shifter mount is going to show any flex it would be during this type of use I would think. The trend of no flex detected continued in this mount. I did make a point of using some heavy handed shifting to try and get it to move. I did not feel or see any movement. Lastly, I mounted the seat using the usual process of bolting my seats directly to the cockpit seat rail profiles. Nothing special here and once all the bolts are properly tightened it results in a no flexing seat when pushing hard on a brake pedal. To me, it is obvious that a lot of thought went into the design of the Pro Series Cockpit. The chrome blue color sets apart from other top teir profile cockpits available today. And I think is stands with the best kits out there currently. Just a very solid platform to build your custom sim solution on.
