James Criv's e30 sim v2

That's cool, but it seems to be moving a LOT like he is in a rally car or something?

It simulates lateral g's that you would normal feel when driving a real car. Since it can't accelerate side to side and front to back continuously, (read: it can't drive around your house) it uses gravity to simulate this feeling. Since you are looking at a screen and are focused on it, you don't notice how much you are actually moving, just the force brought on by it. That's how rides like Star Tours at Disney Land or Soaring Over California at California Adventure work. Flight sims and other driving sims work the same way of course.

Yep, exactly. Some people just can't wrap this around their minds though. lol

What happens when you crash?

LCD explodes for extreme viewer pleasure.

But yeah, turn the lights off and this must be fucking awesome.
Screw the price, I say make a few and rent em. There's approximately 3 geeks in the world that would buy this instead of an M3.
