I'd love to build a 109 sim for BOS with this.

Imagine a full 109 cockpit attached to this

combine that with an oculus rift and youre TOTALLY there.

why have a complete 109 pit if you gonna have a virtual one in your Rift? Another thing how hard do you think it is hanging in that thing without G forces holding you in place? 

I think it is fun for 5 minutes and then you need a rest

I have used a full motion sim chair thing set up for auto racing.  

 

I was asked to try it as I have real world on track experience and take care of vintage race cars for a living.

 

I found it a gimmicky arcade toy at best, much like those old mechanical horses you would "ride" for a dime when you were a child.

 

It added nothing to immersion as all the motions just felt fake, because they are, and there is no g loading of consequence.

 

I'd take the money one of those costs, put it into a top end 3 monitor set up, and buy a new real car and be far better off.

Never liked the 3 monitor setup,

I would just strap into a 5 point harness.

Oh it DOES go inverted!

 

Ok, I`d buy that. If I could.

This looks more promising, and less clumsy as well: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-3494981/Samsung-developing-headphones-make-feel-like-moving-Entrim-4D-stimulates-ear-nerves-make-VR-real.html

Hello all,

 

Modeled as it is it's a barf machine. You need proper g emulation if you're going to do steep turns or fly inverted. The only way for it to really work is to have the thing fully enclosed, with acceleration simulated by moving the sim around on hydraulic legs. 

 

Like this.

 

 

Good hunting,

Watch the joystick movements and you can see there is a fairly substantial delay in the reaction to it by the simulator motors.

Something like that must cost a fair bit just in maintenance, though.

Online you would get your arse kicked :D

Aw, come on.. they are still fun... I'd have one if reasonably priced... I ran Mid-Ohio for decades... you anywhere near there?

About 90 miles from Mid Ohio.
