Andrew 30 Report post Posted July 10, 2007 Think you'd got the ultimate driving setup with your wireless steering wheel, futuristic HD widescreen and custom gaming seat? You ain't got nothing. is the ultimate virtual driving experience. The M3 simulator being shown off at BMW's press event this week features a computer simulation projected onto the windshield and dashboard of an actual M3 from a projector mounted in the back seat. Input from the car's actual steering wheel and gear shifters goes into the computer simulation, which in turn feeds the simulated road conditions into the car's shock absorbers for an authentic bouncing effect. Granted, you probably won't be able to recreate this experience in your home -- the car itself costs the equivalent of over $100,000 even before the simulation accouterments are added in. Then again, when you consider that a high end home racing setup can cost $10,000, maybe that price isn't so ridiculous. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andrew 30 Report post Posted July 10, 2007 That dude is SUCH a n00b at GTR.. Gus and I would school him. I would kill for that setup - I am planning on building a badass setup. GTR2 owns as the best simulator of them all (along with GT Legends) - You can actually practise driving on them (providing you have a good enough setup) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TDP 0 Report post Posted July 11, 2007 What constitutes a good enough setup? The Logitech G25 has been making eyes at me for a while now, and I have a still unplayed copy of GT legends purchased back when the game was new. They seem like a good match.
