Wipeout hd would be somthing else on this rig! Anyone have any ideas on cost?

Looks pretty awesome, I often dream of an ultimate rig that would involve some kind of movement but I think I would want another two tv screens and really they should be 3D and perhaps the glasses needed for the 3D could be integrated into a racing helmet, oh well guess all that will have to wait until I win the lottery.

If I can, I would.

Such a nice conversation piece.

 

[mrkevans]

Lottery winners only I think

Yeah for that kind of money you could get a track day car and I think I would much rather have a proper car than a fancy rig.

Can't beat the real deal but if money was no object....

I think the novelty of it would wear off very quickly indeed.

Exactly. 👍

Don't eat a full lunch before using!

To be honest that looks very lame. I would look at getting a D box or the Sim Experience where you can do iRacing or rFactor.

I like the motion aspect, but dont see that flatscreen lasting too long with that amount on vibration rattling the LCD panels...

How mucn is it though?

Anyway, many people in the sim world spent or ready to spend thousands of dollars which unfortunately sometimes worth than my own car. It would be nice though if you have a track car and a sim rig like that.

Evidently people who think it's cool have never used one. Yeah it moves to replicate G forces but consider that the seat is constantly swinging around. Totally messes with your equilibrium. I can't use one for more than a few minutes and it feels nothing like a car. That thing was probably intended as a flight simulator.

If you have the 40K plus it costs, go buy a real car and track it. I thought that was the point of sim racing? To race in exotic places and drive cars you can't afford or never be able to actually drive. If I could afford to spend that much on a toy, the toy would be an actual race car.
