What the hell is he driving a wheel stander. Very cool but needs some fine tuning on the movements; too much...

I don't see the car going up and down any hills while playing< this would be better suited for a flying game imho..

He could be an engineering, robotics, etc student/designer.

I think he is trying to simulate the effects of torque and acceleration g's. Watch as the car nose goes down after each shift in the straight aways.

He has it moving so much for the feel of actually being there like being pushed back in your seat from the gravity and same with breaking by fallin out of the seat and turning as you slidding across the seat.

crazy...

and i was about to say something about ridiculous body roll & pitching, but after some of y'all's comments, i see why he moved it that far.

*DGthe3* · 01-17-2009, 12:12 PM

I would imagine that it would be pretty easy to get motion sickness with that. You and the screen move but the wall in front of you doesn't. I bet that would get a little confusing for the body

*The_Blur* · 01-17-2009, 12:14 PM

How do you get into the seat?

There was actually a version of this at a Wal-Mart grand opening about a year ago, and I had a chance to run it, and HOLY CRAP!!! It throws you around SO much (the one I was on actually had a 5-point safety harness, THANK GOD), and definately is a beast to get used too. But once you play it for a couple minutes, and get used to all the movements, then... well... HOLY CRAP again, it's one onf the coolest simulators I've ever played!!
