    Hi legends. Been seeing a lot of folks using a variety wind simulation. Looking for opinions/ recommendations for adding this to my motion rig. Does it really add anything? I generally drive my real car with the windscreen in place, so unless I drive with the car door window down, you don’t really get wind in your face if you get what I’m saying? If anyone can direct me to any threads on this, i.e, what hardware/software is needed I’d be grateful and will do the necessary reading to work it out. Thanks guys and gals.

    For open wheelers, roller coasters and open cockpit planes wind simulation is a great addition, particularly if using VR, as it just adds another dimension.

    @noorbeast ahhh, of course. I do enjoy my WW1/Ww2 flight sims, so this will be a thing for me to tackle. Can you suggest any threads on this addition to a sim rig?
