Its great to see my first post has generated such a good conversion.

To everyone who works to create these devices, my hats off to you and your amazing effort. Regardless of similarities or tech, you all have the same goal to create something very special. Thank you to all of you for your dedication.

But to bring it back full circle a bit, I contacted the original creator of the posted video and suggested they file a copy right infringement with youtube ASAP. This group is trying to scam people into donating to them on something that so blatantly stolen.

Quote from z-ro 8 :

the extreme movements are simply to use your own bodyweight to generate g-forces...
ideally, you would want to use it in a dark room, so as not to have any visual reference points other than the screen itself.

ever hop in a carnival ride that lets you spin forward freely? think about what you feel as it pauses to let others on....

Correct, the idea is the earth is always generating "1g". Sitting or standing straight up you don't feel it as your body is designed to hold it's self up. But when you are tipped back, it simulates the felling of the g-force by tipping you back. It might look over done, but I think that a F1 car can generate more then 1g of force on turns and acceleration.

It was in engadget

and ForceDynamics beat them to it

Though this site has some nice stuff, better motion than frex at less cost

Great links, you will find that the original creator of that video is Motion-Sim.com I contacted the author and suggested they file a copy right infringement on that user. I hate to see hard work stolen like this...

This group is asking for donations to continue the development of a hydrolic driven F1 simulator. When I first saw it, I was impressed. After about a minute into the video, I recognized the sounds and brake patten. They are racing on the Blackwood circuit using LFS to drive the program.

I don't know what to think... I think that LFS should have been mentioned as the program. That video has over 400,000 views. That would have been some great advertising!

Something interesting to add... In the video, the people are talking in French. They are asking for donation to continue the project, the youtube account is registered to someone in the United States. Sounds kinda Dirty to me...
