I have been on one of these and you don't really feel the range of motion on it. When you are concentrating the movements are really just initiatives for your brain, your brain will combine the motion, the visual and sound etc etc, and mentally it is a very convincing effect, you can feel the weight of the car moving around, individual suspension compressing and decompressing. So watching from outside isn't a very good way to judge.
Doesn´t Full Motion require that you are totally enclosed so the brain can be tricked into feeling movement instead of tilting...
but anyways teedot is right im afraid...
you cant make a carsim on a platform..
BUT its a very common mistake in many car sims with motion...that it moves like an acrobatic airplane .. try telling your brain "No No...we´re NOT faced down .. we´re just braking...no really...dont look...aaarrghh"
I guess that actually it tilts too little. Some cars may accelerate and break up to several g, while this device only relies on the weight force which is actually of 1g. To be completely realistic, i.e. for a 3g brake action of a F1 car, the device should actually sink down vertically and push you up with 2 gs force... not feasible, i fear. Dawgside is right about tricking the brain to obtain the sensation.
from what I heard this setup actually does an better job than those external monitor setups. And ur right it tilts too LITTLE to simulate the G-forces. It just looks like its tilting from the outside, but to the driver in the cockpit, he won't notice the tilting, it just feels like accel, braking,& lateral g. The interesting thing is since the monitor moves with the seat, the driver is less prone to motion sickness, whereas in ones where the monitor is stationary you can get motion sick.
please bring this out with the f1 game, that will be crazy.
Cost abit though
