    In regards to monitors.

    In this video you can see how aggressive he is being moved around. He seems to be doing a lovely job driving but, would it be a better and a more complete experience if the monitors moved with the motion.

    I'm trying to relate to a seat moving and a static screen. I have no time in a motion sim... sorry if it's a silly question, i'm new ;)

    You can build either @bosmeck, stand alone or mounted monitors.

    One major design/construction consideration is the weight of mounted monitors plus whatever is needed to support them, both in terms of needing to find the pivot point with the monitors attached and also having a design/motor power to move it all responsively. It is not hard to achieve if that is what you want.
