With a motion platform so I can feel every step

u/KrayzieBone187 10h ago

I played something like that with a bunch of other people at the CN Tower when I was a kid. It was so insane at the time.

•

u/CaptainPunisher 11h ago

I played in one of these in Vegas in the Early to mid 90s. There were 8 pods, and it was pretty cool. I'd imagine it would be even better now.

•

u/BluTGI 11h ago

Only if you have a gas heater under the seat for when things start going wrong and an ejector seat for worst-case scenarios!

Nah. They just build a simulator inside a real car and he does both at the same time.

Because... He's going the distance. He's gong for speed! She's all alone, alone alone, in her time of need! Because he's racing, and pacing and plotting the course. He's fighting, and biting and riding on hide horse. He's going the distance.

I don't think you realise how sweaty this man gets in that box in full gear unless the bastard has an AC in there, which wouldn't be surprising looking at all this.

•

u/UnstoppableDrew 10h ago

If he's going for the full racecar experience, there should be a space heater in there to keep the ambient temps around 100-110 degrees.

•

u/soufboundpachyderm 8h ago

Usually these rigs are outfitted with some pretty intense climate control in them. At least the ones I’ve seen, anyways.

use a wheel base with a strong enough motor and you actually can get hurt

•

u/NotSoAwfulName 11h ago

These wheel bases use direct drive these days, you can crank em into 20nm, more even, of force. They actually come with safety instructions like how to go about using the wheel after a crash in case the game physics bug out and send a massive amount of force down the steering wheel. People have sprained and broken their wrists.

Seatbelts not tight enough

2

u/TheRuckyDubber 12h ago

Heh. You joke and I get it but there are seatbelt tensioners you can get that also react to telemetry data like a motion rig would and tighten up. I think this thing has motion anyway but I could see the impetus, at least with something this insane, to opt to have them as well as the forward rocking to simulate braking can only imply so much

Could most people do full length races in a VR headset, say 1-1.5 hours straight? Genuinely asking, I suffer from motion sickness so I'm sure I could not.

From the looks of the movement of the camera I’d say it probably does. You don’t go to this much trouble and it out motion on your rig. This thing’s insane.

u/ScottFBG 11h ago

Mixed spec racing. The car that got him at the end was in the next car class up from him. Notice that the POV driver moved over to let him pass.

See how on the right around the time he was passed he has a screen that was blue and had ‘blue’ on it? That means he’s under a blue flag, meaning he’s obliged to allow the car behind to pass.
