    Gadget999, I see your project does not have the monitors moving with the sim? I was planning on having a 2 seater 6dof in front of my projector, but i thougt that when the screen was not following the movements it would feel wrong?

    the screens do not like to be shaken up and down - it is possible to get the image to jump up and down not the screens them selves

    the best sims use projectors on a wall that moves the image

    you can always use VR with head tracking - personally it makes me want to puke !!

    True.. yeah, i got vr, but a two-seater would be fun too :cheers the jumps are fine, but the tilt back/fwd and sideways should simulate just the force i guess. When you turn you should not feel the car tilt, but just the force pushing you sideways. But its probably not as significant as i thought :) mabye Ill have to build another 6dof when this is finished :think
