What a waste to play it in 3rd person view with a motion pit like that.  Someone should have grabbed that guy and kicked him the balls for such stupidity.

That kind of motion cockpit is a total gimmick. How do they model pulling inverted g's?

I enjoyed getting dropped on my head repeatedly while young, this thing can't replicate that so it must be a piece of crap.

If I had the $ I'd be all up in that.  :joystick:

Since I don't have the $ I'm not asking the price.  :noid

The bigger waste is that he's playing War Thunder with it in the first place. It's the Flappy Bird of combat sims.

I don't think that one does, it just mimics your plane's attitude.  I imagine that a device modeling Gs would tilt you on your back for positive Gs and head-down for negative Gs.

But one of our military or airline pilots here probably knows.

Can't really see how a device could do anything like that on Earth.  No matter what it does, you're either only able to get 1G pointed some direction depending on your orientation, or you'd get a bunch of acceleration that had nothing to do with the game as the centrifuge sped up.

I'm a bit dense and can't understand the difference between hanging upside down from my harness and pulling g's inverted

Yes exactly and thats why its just a gimmick. It gives a totally false sensory input when you go upside down.

They don't.  The "sim" is attached to the floor and under a positive one G.  Can't get there from here.   :salute

My main concern would be the gyroscopic beverage holder.

Any Finn would nickname that thing 'barfball' for sure. That thing looks fun after having your 14th beer.  :cheers:
