Get rid of the wheel - put a control stick in -mount some throttle controls........

Then get it programmed to work with various flight sims.

Now THIS would put some reality into the game. Fly inverted and FEEL it! I'll leave it to you waffle to figure out how to make it work. But it looks fun even with a racing simulator.
So how much is this little beast?
Peace

I think Ohio hit it,  puke session,  I'd have to hang plastic on the monitor and around the floor.   I cant even ride in one of those rollercoaster simulators without getting ill.

I'd still want one though, just have to have an IV drip with dramamine:eek:

Looks like a slighty beefier version of my rocknride chair. It's fun for a while and then you get whiplash. Seriously those things beat you up bad after 10-15 minutes. I still have my rocknride in the garage. Trying to figure out a good use for the actuators and electronics. Either a remote operated turret or a bucking bronco :)

All it needs are some paintball guns aimed at the user's head and body to simulate pilot wounds. :D

using it with a  larger wrap around screen (at elast 60% fov) , trackir, 3d glasses and a good sofware that synchronizes everything-i.e. pitching for pitching up but also for acceleration/deceleration, but also it will activate the actuators according to the user's head movements to fool the inner ear.  I think it  would be able to create SOD (suspension of disbelief).
the key is the software though, I doubt  it exists yet.
