That looks outstanding - what would be the chances of you posting the design sizes, breakdown etc - for us none technical building type Dudes to maybe use to also order the same stuff
Hopefully

Me too! Buying a house and my wife said I can convert the garage. Need some inspiration so if you fancy sharing ideas message me. The OP has done a wonderful job there and that's given me some inspiration already. I came across some galaxy ceiling murals the other day, worth checking those out if you google them.
*insert shock horror face
I am appalled that someone could consider 'converting' a perfectly useful garage. Garages are wonderful places full of bikes, tools, the smell of wd40, oil and lubricants. Careful. Before you know it the washing machine, tumble drier, kids bikes and other detritus will be in there. I need to take a lie down. I am shocked.
Haha I don't do tools or car maintenance, it's got a pitched roof as it used to double up as the showroom so I reckon I can get an updstairs out of it too - down stairs guitar room, upstairs game room��*insert shock horror face

Here's my cockpit frame in sketchup for anyone that wants to have a go. It will need some alteration though for the monitor arms and possibly seat width.
There are also the profile cross sections on the "floor" if you want to extrude your own to add to the model.

You could keep it like this:
Or you could have this:
Yes its the same garage.
(Well it should be, but it's the internet so who knows for real)

I have posted this other places as well, but this is mine.
Banged it together after geting ED and using my Hotas on the desk was throwing out my shoulder, so I would have to either stop playing. [ugh]
Or do something.
I consider it my first draft without much planning, if any.
I had the basic U shape in my head, but that was about it.
The desktop side is becoming rather cumbersome, and having gone VR I don't really need to see the screen, or at least not the big screen.
So I have been long thinking something along the lines of OP.
And befoure you ask, no I haven't even tried to hide the cables.

I have the Warthog and the MFG Crosswind pedals. Once you try these together (they're both top tier), it's very hard to envision going back. I use a Playseat Air Force pulled up to a desk. My HOTAS is connected to my chair and all other peripherals (wheel, gearshift, yoke, keyboard, mouse, etc...) are on the desk (usually not all at once). Perfect placement of HOTAS to match in-game avatar. I would love a quicker way to switch between car pedals and rudder pedals though.
here is mine rig after latest upgrades

Nice, there is nothing more satisfying than making your own sim setup. Here is mine, which, as it progressed, got a little out of control re-lighting
Oh yes, I made the chair also...after ‘borrowing’ the middle section of our settee.
