    HI Guys
    Just wondering what peoples opionions are on display setups with motion rigs. Would it be best to mount it to move with the rig or to have it stationary?

    For racing, screen static is preferred as your eyes tend to stay on a fixed point on the horizon, while with flight, screen moving ideally.

    i wonder if you had a head tracker if that would make any difference ( if you had a monitor moving with the rig )As your head would be countering any force?

    maybe. Thing is, some games the car moves, even bonnet view in game. But each game varies in game movement on screen. Add camera shake to that as well... theres a few variables that could make it interesting.

    I've tried both. A big Tv in front of my Rig, and a small Monitor mounted on my rig. For me the moving monitor is better.

    I decided to mount the screen in the end to the cockpit heres the drivers view.
    The screen is a 27 inch ultra wide curved monitor

    I thought very well and came to the conclusion that the fixed monitor is better but I liked the idea tracker ... I will search.

    I will be fitted on the three 27" monitors to the current frame.
    The current frame will be under a slightly larger frame and then on
