This ones for F1 but I can see it being used for other apps as well.

Anyhow looks pretty damn cool and solid !

Just tell her its an exercise machine :haha:

[Platapus]

I wonder how much that would cost to hook up to a flight simulator?

Ahh to be rich enough for those types of toys. :up:

[Sailor Steve]

For flight sims you need one that can go upside down.:sunny:

Just my luck, I would have such a chair and I would forget to disable it when I access a porn site.

Try explaining that to the health insurance company!!!!! :o

Commercial simulators dont ;)

If you watch carefully the chair actually moves in exactly the opposite direction of movement to 'trick' the senses into feeling G forces.

Accellerate the chair tilts up. Brake the chair tilts down.

The key is to fill the entire field of view to block out the 'horizon'.

I was joking. Yes, I picked up the 'g-force' motion right away. It also tilts left when you turn right, all of which simulates Gallileo's rule of inertia and Newton's Third Law of Motion. With a flight sim chair it would have to be programmed to do the opposite - tilt in the direction of travel, as that's what pilots do to offset that very effect. Even inverted pilots in combat maintain positive G - most of the time.

Did you try the excercise machine ploy? ;)

[STEED]

Saw this on the Gadget Show, Jason Bradbury was having....Well lets put it this way, if Suzi Perry was testing it out, us guys would. :D

I saw that too! It must be how the brain fills in the blanks as you read quickly, keying off certain visual cues of letter combinations.

Funny thing, they are acually speaking Czech. I thought that my former country was economically in deep sh*t. Obviously some people can still shell out lots of money for gaming knick-nacks. :D

My wife said "No." :cry:

tis easier to beg for forgiveness later than to ask permission now. :yep:

I have seen some pretty amazing stuff done with one of these (http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x8zv6i_6-axis-motion-control-platform_tech)for home flight simulators - you can get one for about $50-60K

you want to see something awesome though?

this guy is going all the way with a home built Beech Baron for use in Microsoft Flight simulator

Imagine when he finishes that bad boy... and if he was to put it on one of those 6 DOF platforms!




Imagine a subsim on a massive 6DOF platform! :rock::rock::rock:
