nice driving

right-o, wheres the plans for these things! or at least the shop?

countchocula8 · « **Reply #4 on:** June 06, 2005, 04:21:19 am »

omg. that is the coolest thing ever! i wish i have the money for it.
sidenote...how harmful is it for the tv/monitor thing if its being shaken like that? i cant imagine that being good for it...but i guess if you have money to buy the setup, a few $1000's wont mean too much.

OMG that is so forking awesome i want one soooo bad. If i had one of those it could probably pay for itself and replacement monitors just by taking it out to the local road course during weekend racing for the season (I live about 15 minutes from Nelson Ledges Race Track they have a couple 24hr events and it's actor Paul Newman's favorite track in the U.S. i bumped ito him at the bar a few times.) oh man that thing is so sweet, definitely would need to be anchored down more though. Did anyone else notice it slide when he flipped the car?

Since when does any car/race car throw you around that much?! It's trying to be realistic without being realistic

My mini is probably not far off...driving over a pebble is like hitting a rock

Don't forget it is trying to simulate acceleration and deceleration. If the monitor image stays static and the machine tips forward it would feel like you are coming to a stop.... the reverse for tromping on the gas. It's not about what we see when watching him on the simulator.... it's about the feeling he gets.

Well, that may be so but there are a few questions that need to be answered..
1.. what game is he playing ?

looks like colin mcrae or richard burns rally, but i'm not quite sure.

Marky_1979 · « **Reply #15 on:** June 07, 2005, 11:34:49 am »

Its Richard Burns Rally and i want one of these bad boys where are they from

:D:D:D:D ?

Certainly is Mark

- Goddamit I "NEED" one of these "NOW" If only I can convince my wife that it doubles up as an exeedingly high-calibre exercise machine!

markrvp · « **Reply #17 on:** June 08, 2005, 06:09:09 pm »

Does anyody know any more details about it? How it was made? How we can make one?

Timstuff · « **Reply #18 on:** June 08, 2005, 06:21:14 pm »

All I can say is dag, yo! That thing looks awesome. Any chance we might see them popping up in arcades anytime soon?

ErikRuud · « **Reply #19 on:** June 09, 2005, 02:48:48 pm »

Silicon Motor Speedway is a similar concept.

Marky_1979 · « **Reply #20 on:** June 13, 2005, 10:39:29 am »

high-calibre exercise machine lol thats the one

Nice job finding it, usedelectronics.

Now the only problem is that it costs between $10,000 - $30,000. I'd rather own a real car and get my motion sensing from that.

papercut · « **Reply #23 on:** June 14, 2005, 07:41:52 pm »

Come on.. with all the talent on these boards, why can't we reverse engineer it from the video and build our own?

I want blue prints and a shopping list for parts by tomorrow people!

(I'm sure it's not easy to make.. just dreaming)

Samstag · « **Reply #24 on:** June 15, 2005, 04:26:47 pm »

The hardware isn't rocket science, but I don't have a clue how they get acceleration data from the games.

rchadd · « **Reply #25 on:** June 15, 2005, 04:55:01 pm »

the website seems to indicate they have got a utility to extract terrain details from the game data

but how does it know location on map. speed, direction and acceleration of the car?

think they must have cooperation form the software developers to get status of the car.

at the end of the day its a fantastic force feedback system

maybe directx already provides enough force feedback information?

That is so cool, I'd love to play Colin Mcrae 05 in that thing!
