Seeking full motion system
There are some awesome full motion platform systems out there! For a
more reasonable approach to motion cueing check out: http://www.ultraforcesim.com The web site will be updated soon with pictures of the new products. I've managed to take a lot of cost out of the design, so expect lower prices for the UltraForce G-seats and G-cushions.

Maybe if you live on the moon or in the > north or south pole.......................... I can see your point, Byron. It's definitely valid. Then again, I can tell you from running a simple one-kart racing program, racing simulations offer a lot of bang-for-the-buck. When I finally got out of kart racing it wasn't because of the money. The problem is the incredible amount of time and effort required to field any sort of race car. The ratio of preparation and travel time v. track time is huge. With racing simulations you get all the seat time you can stand with no tire bill, fuel bill, entry fees, hotel bill, ad nauseum. Pat Dotson |

I didn't see any pricing on the Hexatech site, but I did notice that they even have car bodies for those monsters. I think you could easily purchase a decent road racer for one of them..........:-) I think I might rather go the less drastic route and talk to Pat first......:-) Ed > |

In Dubai, they had two linked together in an amusement center. Price for a 15 minute ride was cheaper than rental karts. |

Indeed; that level of equipment isn't targeted directly at consumers anyway, but it intended for high-end arcade and corporate applications. After all, the bulk of the development on the Moog FCS platform itself was done for customers like Boeing and Airbus. Interesting tibdit was the bit about Hexatech announcing that a freely downloadable demo of the sim software would be available soon, so you can practice at home. The screenshots are nothing to write home about, but it could be interesting. Wonder who's doing the coding for them... But forget the platform, I want the wheel. Direct drive, 20NM of torque and up to 5500 deg/sec? I like my G25, but.... ;-) SB |
