Suppose to be on a motorbike? Looks screwed up that example, leaning right when he turning left and vice versa...  :rolleyes:

28k complete waste of money could buy a real track bike and still have plenty left over for a whole years worth of track days,tyres and maintenance.

nope thats correct, turn left and your body is forced the right just like IRL, its a car not a bike remember. for a bike sim presumably you'd mostly be leaning back in a turn to simulate the force down through the seat.

I rode this one at San Diego air and space.

LOL the guy  running the thing was impressed that I even got it off the ground with no help. He said most people cant even get it of the runway.

...invest it.  At 4% interest (somewhat modest) and with quarterly compounding, you will be $3495.8 dollars richer in a year.  Assuming current inflation of 2.14%, you still are coming out well ahead.   :old:


Or you could buy the silly vomit machine.  Your choice.   :devil

its a car not a bike remember.

Really I havent seen a car do wheelies before through any gear let alone 3. Or thats what it looked like with amount of degrees moving up each time.. Oh well..

Who the heck would want to simulate a frig cage anyway....Boring enough in real life let alone a game....   :rofl

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).


Quoted because it is an excellent point but some aren't reading it.

Watch the monitor in the video. There is no wheelie on the monitor which is the reason it is assumed to be a car that he is driving. Like others have said the movement that the sim is making is supposed to mimmick g-forces not the movement within the game.

As interesting as that thing is I would never spend $28,000 on something like it for my personal useage either.

Darn penguins always worried about falling off cliffs!  :devil

Cowards fall, the brave leap, you sharp tounged rascal!  ;)  Watch as we hurtle toward the fridgid water of the Antarctic, and then gracefully glide about within it, like swallows of the sea.

I'm really surprized his mother would let him set that thing up in the diningroom.

If you drop 28 grand on one of these and it don't make you any money, you have serious issues.
