I want one!!!!!!!!!!!!!

totally unrealistic body motions. they were way ott

as rocket already suggested. Its not about how much it moves. Its about how the movement feels. The screen moves with you. It has to be way over the top to simulate a race car!
The main difference with most of the big simulators is that they are full enclosed so you cant equate the movement to your surroundings.

jarrad, the movement is supposed to recreate the g-forces that you would expect to feel.

As the screen is moving with you, you wouldnt actually feel like you were flopping all over the place like a small boat on a rough sea.

[Jarred]

Even still, I think that's a whole lot of movement & it would possibly create an unnatural feel. just what i reckon anyway.

valid point about the G's though.

[nathe]

mmm....the movements dont look accurate to me, esp side to side...

and they get like 5 g's under breaking XD no simulator could get that

[ENERG1]

That would definately make you sick!!

Guys READ replies. The movements are DELIBERAETLY not realistic. NOTHING can be as real as driving but the movements such simulators make are to give you the feeling relative to the seat you're in. The focal point is the screen when you're sitting in it so you're not looking around at your surroundings. To you the screen would be steady and the movement just makes you feel like you're in a car. It has to be that exagerated so it feels like you're moving.

It wouldn't make you sick and they do feel fairly good. They're not totally realistic obviously but the movement makes you feel like you're driving. Because your focal point (i.e. the screen) is moving in exactly relative to the position you're sitting in, the motion sickness potential is all but removed. Sure, it will still affect some people, but if you're focussed on the screen, you should be fine!

Until you've experienced something like this, it's hard to understand so I guess that's why there are so many people dismissing it as unrealistic. Looking at it from a 3rd person perspective, it sure does look wrong. But it's not. It's as real as it can feel without being in the real thing.

Cant figure out what track hes on, any guesses?

Looks like the Hockenheim Circuit...

Its cool, but where is the drink holder and Grid Girls??

[Buller_Scott]

[Creniac]

rocket36, where do we get one of these babies???? $20k or not, who is the supplier?????

[gareth_oau]

scott, just the thought of driving an F1 car would get me so aroused, I wouldnt fit in the damn car!
