homemade cockpit hardware
« on: November 17, 2008, 05:21:40 PM »
So ... due to the broad range of our comunauty, someone around here probably knows.

I want to build a cheap car racing cockpit. Something basic, some kind of frame, a seat, and some FFB driving hardware. Now my question is, what can I use to "bump" my cockpit platform when my force feedback wheel jerks. I don't want anything fancy that simulates lateral G forces with advanced multi hydraulic cylinders, just "a vertical kick".

is something like that expensive? How would I set it up so the "thing" knows ti has to kick?

 :confused:

Buy a horse. Wire force feeback output directly to horse's balls. Position horse behind cockpit.

Your wife has balls?

Seriously though, how would you get her to STOP kicking?
