DO FUCKING WANT!


Formula 1 Simulator - This F1 simulator is pretty gnarly, I want

Haven't watched the video, but is this the simulator where a driver broke his wrist when he slammed into a wall?

no

awesome.

Nvm, That is sweet!

wow! that amazing!
I wonder what their flight simulator would be like?

Thats cool as fuck

That is way to arcade. If an F1 car pitched and yawed that much during accelleration, cornering and braking it might as well be a trophy truck or a boat.

As far as strictly for for fun if you were palying and arcade style game then yes it would be awesome , very awesome.

To use F1's title anywhere near that thing is disrespect.

I wonder how much that costs

It's really hard to simulate G forces when you're sitting still. The extreme tilting and yawing probably makes it "feel" like g's and since the screen doesn't really move in relation to your body...you don't "feel" like the F1 car has body roll...


also turns out that thing is a homemade setup.

It leans to simulate the G's in acceleration/deceleration/cornering. I don't think that's supposed to replicate suspension travel. :facepalm:



*Edit: 2nd :loser:

Landrew is a n00b

A real F1 simulator with no G-Force effets would be pretty boring.

Imagine a Nascar simulator - thats called tryptophan

(thats the amino acid in warm milk that makes you sleepy - well it doesn't really but that was the science myth for a while)

Heres an F1 simulator that will leave you with a reminder for the next week of how real it was.

Try this for simulating the g-force feeling your neck experiences:

Former F1 driver Juan Pablo Montoya claimed to be able to perform 300 reps of 50 pounds with his neck

I'm going to blame your Canadianism for that last post...

You wish, I'm going to be using a stage 6 clutch in my new car cause its so fast. Of course I'll be chaining the engine to keep if from twisting so much.

wanna race........ yah doubt it.....

It's hard not to look at Nascar from a faux high horse and mock it, when in reality I would be in heaven to be back on a track in anything at all.

I started my racing desire by watching F1 for many years and then trying out some open wheel racing so I was tainted on oval drivers from the beginning but I'm coming around now.

Either way if that simulator was in my house you bet I'd be on it and our whole family would be lining up to use it.

This is why we like F1:

2006 specs:

0-60 1.7
0-124 3.8
0-186mph 8.6s

braking G 5
cornering G 6

All from a 2.4 litre.............

There's word of sub-3 second four tire changes in F1 this year with no fuel stops.

i will race you and beat your canadian ass. What the fuck kind of BC bud are you smoking up there.

This is weaksauce, you can't possibly pull more than 1G.

Actually, it's wickedly awesome, just not as much oomph as it should have. But for that you'd need one of those g-force simulators used for aircraft pilots, but it would have to be able to stop on a dime too.

What he should do though it enclose the area between his seat and the screen so he doesn't see the room lurching around out of his peripheral.

Not home made. It's from Motion-Sim. $25,000. Made in the Czeck republic. There's several companies making stuff like this. Anywhere from 15-30K. If you are rich? What the hell? I have a customer that spent that much on a golf simulator. Only works with PC racing simulators though. Forza and the like don't have the right outputs.

Sure it's racing, sure it takes extreme skill, sure it's entertaining but damn. If it wasn't for all the crashes no one would watch it. I say that in complete seriousness. It would be like removing checking from hockey, slam dunks from basketball and tackling from football. Without the crashes its just cars turning left.

Why no rain tires though?

I would love it.

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Bring it on little bitch, my miata will skullfuck your children with it turgid member of awesomeness.

ZOMG stgae 6 clutch! Thats bigger than... a stage 5 clutch!

Im running a Stage 42 clutch
with a class G9 Turbo
and grade alpha-19-foxtrot cam

should be good for 4600 butt"/second

that's what i was thinking, if he made a cover so he couldn't see the room it would make the effect more realistic.

on pit stops, i was astonished when i started watching dtm touring cars doing 3.0-3.5 sec. pit stops, fuel + 4 tires! that's amazing.

thats fucking sweet!!! Must cost a fortune tho.. I rather build up a car with the money spent here. I love gaming on computers and all, and building them... but I thought mine was expensive upgrade at 1.6k...

edit: Didnt read the second page... 25K?!?! FUCK THAT! I am sticking with real wheels for that many bones.

One more thing my house would be full of If I was rich. My crib would be like the kids house in Blank Check

The F1 simulators the teams use do not move at all. It's actually more accurate with your brain simulating the forces, then a computer attempting to do so.

I've spent a little time on the simulators at http://www.pabst-racing.com/ . They aren't on par with say the Ferrari or Mclaren simulators, but they are set up in a make-shift car with a shifting system out of a porsche gt3 cup car and a real pedals etc.

Really. Thats what I was thinking when I saw the video.

I take back what I said about all teams, Red Bull's simulator moves, however not nearly as much as the one in this thread.

If this version was some how bigger it would be more realistic. It's got to feel like you are shaking around like a maraca in this version. Like I said, somehow you'd have to incorporate a centrifuge, that way lefts and rights would be slight banks (along with real slowing down and speeding up), slowing down and speeding up would be tilts (along with real slowing down and speeding up)

That way the Gs on your body could accurately reflect the Gs you see on your monitor (your body might pitch 20 degrees in an insanely badass braking instance along with a slowdown of the centrifuge, but the screen would only tilt a degree or two to reflect the actual moment of the car [compressing springs at a million lbs/in])

And of course it would have to be completely enclosed, with as a bonus, peripheral cams/monitors everywhere that's not car.

I'll take two to match the hadron colliders in my basement.
