Hi all, im new to the forum but have been reading up. Alot of great info and designs in here. So Im planning on a simulator, and although I have a massive basement, my ceilings are SHORT, at only 8ft from concrete to wood (with the existing drop ceiling its much much lower even). So after much deliberation ive decided it needs to go in the garager where I have 111 inches, or a about 9.15 ft of height.
The plan is to do to a full sim, skytrak, unless anything comes out before then. I want to do proper screen and projector. Will be putting natural gas heater in garage (gas line is close). Ill start soon by epoxy painting the floor (recommendations welcomed).
So now my real question is how to fit my simulator in the garage, and how to orient it (parallel to the garage track and garage bay, or perpendicular). Ive started to price out moving my garager motor and tracks to a high lift type, but this is starting to add some significant costs. I need to make sure both cars will still be able to get in and out of the garage, so I will need to do something rather flexible (I like the recent ideas posted using a winch and a platform that folds down, though I dont know if I have the ceiling height for that).
I have attached pictures of my garage (which still needs to be cleaned up), and a drawing of the dimensions I have to work with. Would greatly appreciate any opinions or recommendations on if I should shoot for option A or option B for screen mounting position (see the attached drawing). FYI option A is the screen on the wall with the windows shown in the pictures.
Many thanks!
