Field of dreams.

[Spagetti69]

Why Field of dreams you might ask.

Well " build it and they shall come ".

This question goes out to the people who currently possess sim wheels.

I know currently their are very few good motor cycle games. SBK seem to have the best physics but the issue faced by all is the steering input method.

Both turning and using body weight to turn doesnt fit well on a pad.

I know that we get the odd CEO of wheel manufacturers around here ( with funny glasses ).

Would any sim racers layout on a decent steering accessory if available with decent software.

I would think that a good accessory would really open up a gap in the Market for developers to try something new.


I know I would definitely be interested.

Would you be interested?.
Would developers be interested?.
Would Fanatec, Thrustmaster, Logitech be interested?.

Can't seem to find a poll on the iPhone sorry fellas.

How would you do it even remotely affordably though? I think countersteering a motorcycle is tough to make intuitive unless you make a full rig with lean. Think a more sophisticated Manx TT arcade cabinet.

I was just thinking of a handle bar setup on a sort of see saw effect to simulate lean. Combined with the turning ability of the handlebars for the turning axis.

Gears would be a pain though.

As for a rig. I'm sure plenty of wives have got those fitness bikes in the corner acting as a cloths hanger. Lol.
