Not sure how to make this work with AcesHigh but it looks like they have a flight sim in the works for it.

Wow!

[Spikes]

That...is....AWESOME.
I wonder what would happen if you decided to pull straight vertical at 400mph on the deck in a plane...

I like the big red abort button.  It's gotta be fun if it requires an "Oh S&%*! Stop this thing now!" button.

needs a barf bag too, but WOW how much fun would that be.

Never would my A6M see an other forced stall roll if I knew I was going to spin around with it...

From the way it was handling on that game, looks like its turned up too high

What about falling off a cliff?

IMO, the wild tilting is not about going up and down hills on the track. It's about using gravity to simulate the forces on your body due to acceleration. The exaggerated tilting backwards and forwards, respectively, ensures gravity pulls you back in the seat when accelerating and throws you forward against the straps when braking. Likewise, the sideways tilting is so that gravity pulls you to the sides of the seat when cornering (cornering is also a form of accceleration).

Looks very cool. Might play havoc with TrackIR though!

I wonder if a mini gyro based wireless unit would be better than IR in something like that....

Too much movement due to the lack of vehicle weight for that game. Having driven a high horsepower race car before I know what they feel like and you certainly don't jump around that much but it is purely because of the weight.

Darn penguins always worried about falling off cliffs!

Like Gorkle says it's all about using gravity to try and simulate the G forces you would normally feel in the car.  High end flight simulators do the same thing.  Unfortunately without a cage around this unit to block the outside world i think it would just serve to reincarnate whatever you just ate.

I went in a simulator at indy a few years ago that simulated a lap of bathurst with Craig Lowndes in a v8 falcon and thats exactly how it worked but you were closed in and it felt very realistic.

Best simpit I've seen yet, also the scarest!!!
