LH747 60 Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 That would be reeeally cool. Imagine flying through some hard turbolences or touch down a little bit hard on the runway. regards Max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Hamilton 97 Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 If I want motion, I'll go with a platform on hydraulics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert S 75 Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 That was cool! I know it is trying to simulate G forces but a race car would never have THAT much lateral movement in the corners... (Well, unless you were racing your grandfather's 1975 Mercury Grand Marquis!) Actually, it would have to be re-programmed for Flight Simulator, as currently it tilts in the opposite direction of a turn, and in flight we tilt into our turns...obviously, it's designed with a Formula 1 application in mind. I'd use it for Rally car driving, that would be amazing! Is it a home built or commercially available product? Thanks HiFlyer, good video! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like possibly a stripped-down (and modded) force dynamics model........ (not absolutely certain) http://www.force-dynamics.com/company/ Simpler, cheaper (and with a more eccentric designer!) is this: http://www.mydreamflyer.com/index.html Or this: You could fly into Manhattan and down Broadway at 100 feet.......
