Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

        Saw this video yesterday as well.

        It seems that the physics are out a bit for it, surely under heavy braking, you would be tilting down at the front by another 45 degrees.

        Still and awesome project though.

                Nothing wrong with the physics there... the tilting is to simulate the feel of braking. All the movement is simply to simulate the feel.

                They're about $20,000 to buy.

                They're extremely robust. As long as you're not a sumo wrestler.

                    i was reading an article in the latst topgear and the one f1 teams are using for getting around the latest rules looks like an awesome piece of kit but at 100k or so you would have to be seriously keen

                      as rocket already suggested. Its not about how much it moves. Its about how the movement feels. The screen moves with you. It has to be way over the top to simulate a race car!
                      The main difference with most of the big simulators is that they are full enclosed so you cant equate the movement to your surroundings.

                        jarrad, the movement is supposed to recreate the g-forces that you would expect to feel.

                        As the screen is moving with you, you wouldnt actually feel like you were flopping all over the place like a small boat on a rough sea.

                          Even still, I think that's a whole lot of movement & it would possibly create an unnatural feel. just what i reckon anyway.

                          valid point about the G's though.

                            mmm....the movements dont look accurate to me, esp side to side...

                            and they get like 5 g's under breaking XD no simulator could get that
