If it add to the immersion, I'm all for it!
Exactly!
I just ate spicy food, nobody is ready for my wind.
Well said! So simple yet so many people just don't get it. I use wind sim with VR and it's incredible. Racing without it now feels totally off.
all you need is Yaw2
I don’t really understand why anyone wouldn’t want the sensation of forward movement in a cockpit simulation, even if it’s ‘not quite right’. It’s particularly effective in VR and I’ve found can even help prevent motion sickness.
I find the same in VR, just that little bit of something to support what your eyes are seeing.
Plus it cools you down.
@@antjones2281 exactly, actually found this video while searching for fans that I could attach to my playseat :D
For my experience, bass shaker under my rig healed my VR motion sickness
@@dovydasvit231I'm about to do a DIY bass speaker setup and my thoughts were this should help with motion sickness as it gives you feedback you can actually feel to help your brain.
I just got into vr and my first time doing a rally run I got sick 😮😮 within a few turns and stopped!!
Since then it's gotten much better but i think there speakers will help as well for more immersion.
Perfect summation at 9:12. It is all about the experience. I will not have the opportunity in my life to own or race a GT3 car. This hobby affords us the fortunate opportunity to experience a small portion of the exhilaration in motorsports. I enjoy my wind simulator as it adds that little extra immersion; plus, the cooling effect is a bonus. Great video Karl!
I hate when people say "You're a grown man. Why do you play GAMES? Do it for real!"
Okaaaay, after Nordschleife fly me to Phobos to Fight demons 😅
well said Karl, and for all those who never understand, this is the reason why this is called SIMULATION, it is not real, you will never feel the same forces of a real race car, that is impossible, that is the reason why companies and engineers Even normal and very creative people use our brain's shortcuts to give you a close feeling, wind simulator, butckikers, bodyshackers, motion rigs, virtual reality, etc... all of these are designed for trick your brain and provide a feeling close to that reality, the rest of the job, your brain will fill it with the passion you might have for sim racing and your body trying to convence your senses that we are moving but no.
Immersion + cooling me off in hot conditions in the summer! Win win situation😁
I never really understood it either but what you have stated makes perfect sense. I also overheat in my sim rig all the time, so the cooling effect would be ideal. This and transducers are next on my list 👍🏻
Agreed mate, I sweat like mad playing Dirt Rally as it's so physical, the extra cooling is just a bonus! :)
Perhaps we should just say "Wind Haptics"?
The more immersion the better when I’m racing, sat in my loft going nowhere. Great vid. Made me laugh. Will be adding wind to my new sim vr rig as soon as possible.
I had never heard of wind simulation until your "Pimp my Playseat Challenge" video, but as a former real world racer, I totally get it. I also have a sailing simulator, and adding wind to that would be terrific too. Thanks for expanding my knowledge.
What sailing simulator do you use ?
Karl, very wholehearted of you explaining this again
I understood the value of the fans the first time I saw them in one of your vids. Seems to be quite a useful immersion tool, and I plan to get one on the rig soon as I can.
Well said Karl, I have a dof h3, and the additional feedback enhances my experience
In my racing group many people don't understand my windsim. But ALL.....really, all people they tested it on my rig, LOVED it! With a mixture of VR, it is fantastic. Especially with open cockpits, its a dream. Maybe it is not "real", but it feels so. :D
This channel is such a nice find! Love all your reviews, they're so in depth.. even just picked up a gt omega stand from your link lol
Thanks Vic, appreciate your comment mate! :)
Fantastic, well-articulated come back chap! Love ya work!
Thank you kindly
Great Video! I was one of those people that didnt really understand but you made total sense of it thanks.
Glad it helped mate! :)
Led here from your giveaway vid for the wind gear, not of any use to me personally but an excellent explanation of what is added to the overall feel when you are sitting at home, very interesting thanks
Thanks mate! :)
Very well explained. Just as you rightly said: 'It's just another form of physical feedback.' Unfortunately I did not find a proper way to add this immersion to my console based sim racing equipment.
Yeah there's no real console support for most racing titles sadly.
Hi again, actually I found a way to add this additional 'speed feedback' to my ring. The Simhub application supports Gran Turismo 7 for example. All you need to do is connect a seperate PC to the same local network your Playstation is connected to. The windsim I've purchased is the one from REDION. But the PC version and not the console version they offer as well. As soon as I have it installed I will share my experience. - But once again thanks for you great explanation. To what it all boils down to is simply the wrong naming 'wind simulation'. Instead of that I would rather call ist speed simulation. Because that's what it is.
The endless rabbit hole of enjoying SIM racing is that your wallet is always empty!. In the past 2 years I have upgraded from a wooden homemade rig to an ALI profile rig, G27 wheel and pedals to CSL then SC2 hub, Heusenkveld pedals, Reverb for VR, from transducers to buttkicker, now with 3dof Qubic systems motion. Not to mention the expensive PC to drive it!. Now I am looking at the SRS hurricane system to add on. Performance wise, I got the most value from an hour of focussed practice!. $$$ only gets you the cues and subtlety of the feedback. Time on the track gets you how to use the cues. Iracing - keeping old blokes poor forever!.
Okay, I'm here....watching eagerly lol. My comment wasn't sarcastic but thanks for reading it out 😂.
Thanks for explaining, now I understand the point of the fans, to keep you cool in our British Summers. Joking aside, I wasn't being sarcastic in my original comment, as a non sim racer I genuinely thought the whole point was realism and simulation. I consider the subject answered and closed in my eyes. Thanks for the video.
Yeah yours wasn't a sarcastic comment it just got bundled in with all the others that were! Sorry mate! :) lol
@@KarlGosling Don't be sorry, remember, no safe space needed for me. Personally I think you could of been a bit more brutal in this video lol
@@rossharper1983 I have to bare in mind the more sensitive types! lol
i would like to try wind just for the simple fact that it might keep me cool. also it is probrably cheaper than the seat with the fans in lol
Great video ! "Wind simulator" help also to avoid motion sickness when you play VR.
Agreed!
I just have 1 single fan infront of me 1 speed to make me feel direction in VR so I don't get motion sickness. But I also mostly drive open wheel so it gives me the airflow (still 1 speed) and even that adds to the immersion. I'd love a setup that did more but this simple 1 fan is actually brilliant in it's own way too
Much the same as I do and its a great asset to VR.
Any form of immersion is a positive in sim racing. I use a feelforce seat pad and it adds so much to racing that I wouldn't be without it
I found it very immersive back when i just started playing in VR. i placed a simple small fan infront of me, yes it's not realistic but people forget that alot of the feedback effects you feel through the wheel aren't realistic either. these are meant to enhance our other senses, we are sitting in a static chair after all (which isn't realistic). anything else that could involve other senses to feel something besides the feedback coming from the wheel will contribute to the immersion. wind helps to enhance the sense of speed, especially in VR
Spot on mate! :)
That's it. I've just discovered it by accident one time playing Batman VR in PSVR, I had a small floor fan nearby and I've found the wind to be totally adding to the experience of being on top of a building looking down...
I have the same right now. Works wonders and I can tell if I forgot to turn it on
Hi, Thus is one of your very best explanations. Thanks , great job.
Glad it was helpful!
Another great video Karl!!! I really enjoy your vids, very informative and right to the point. Keep it up, thanks so much for sharing with us!!!!! w.
Glad you like them!
I couldn't agree with you more. Very eloquent explanation. Another informative video. Tbank you.
My pleasure!
Very valuable in VR. I use a fan blowing at me and find it helps the brain think I'm moving.
Agreed mate!
I love having a fan in front on my set up...1 . It drys the sweat from your hands. 2. It keeps my t300rs cool the most important .
Totally agree 👍 Good video fella
This is like explaining Headtracking and why you don't need to rotate your head 90° to get a 90° camera rotation in game.
one more things this is important the "Temperatures in often exceed 100 degrees, reaching as much as 170 degrees by floorboards. can lose 5-10 pounds in during . loses more than 3 percent of his body weight in and doesn't those fluids, focus and reflexes start declining.
I installed a few sprinklers on me ceiling to simulate rain.
Like 4D cinema... why not.
Awsome vid as always have finally purchased a wind sim after your advice thanks as always think it will add some fun and keep us cool in the Hest hopefully lol
Enjoy mate! :)
@@KarlGosling thanks bud happy gaming
@@KarlGosling what's your opinion on sim motion rigs have a seat over at the moment looking into something even more hardcore for the future
I'm blown away
You are very right, the more effects reach our body, the more our brain believes it, I think that I do not fit more things in the cockpit ... I have just received 16 motors, 2 arduino Uno and 4 adafruit controllers to put damping on the pedal board and a lot of vibration with the motors, I already have 6 100w bodyshakers on the pedal board and it already falls short, last month I put 2 servos on its back to notice the braking and I liked it more than expected, so I already asked for 2 more servos for G forces on the sides, this is trying and not stopping, whoever does not test cannot evaluate it, it is like explaining VR ...
although I think you made it very clear.
You really are going balls deep with all that mate! Nice! :)
Exactly like trying to explain VR, until you have tried it you just don't understand.
Thanks mate! :)
I feel if it adds to the fun then its worth it! Also its up to the individuals personal preference. I had an early Phillips Ambx kit that had fans, lights, rumble strips and audio. It was an amazing fun bit of kit! The only downside was poor game support and awful drivers
Exactly mate! :)
just wana say, for drifting its perfect as you have to have your windows open, so the left and right variable fans as the car goes into a drift is like irl, 2nd id like a 3rd fan on the top of my screen pointing at the top of my head for convertables or chop tops. with headphones on it would add another element to realistic driving or drifting, i would also say do all these people forget theres ac and heaters in a car? i sweat alot on my rig so it could be used like air con to help keep me cool like i would in a real car... so yes it is realistic if used in the right way at the right times. thanks for sharing
Well said Karl, thanks for explaining this again XD
No worries!
great explanation... now i know.... thank you
It is actually realistic. Race cars always have an airflow vent going to the driver. In many cars, this airflow is ducted directly to the back of the driver's helmet.
simply put: the fan is moving the air to us instead of us moving through the air.
it's not there to create realism (although it would be realistic if you were on a bike or in a convertible) but to create the sensation of movement, more sensations = more immersion :)
Exactly mate!
I am old enough to remember people sarcastically claiming in the late 90s, that the "human eye can't detect frame rates differences above 24 fps". Yet here we are today, with gamers feeling 120 fps is not enough and going for 300 fps monitors - to get a more a convincing experience.... Wind effects will surely go the same route. Ridiculed at first, then ultimately accepted as an evidence
Amazing how things move on, but how on earth people thought 24fps was as fast as the human eye could detect is beyond me?! lol
My astra got shoved all over the place a few weeks ago..
Wind can REALLY be felt if it comes from the side.
Great video Karl, loved it!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very well explained. Pushed me to buy one
A great addition to any rig IMO.
I will have the motion by this winter
what you saying is true, some things can add imerssion even if they not realistic, some things that also are realistic can take away from the fun like not using a break in truck sim and instead use air break, i rather use my pedal than a simple button
i think I'll get a wind kit and attach car ac vents, at point them at my face in open cockpit cars, and point them slightly downwards in closed cockpit cars.
Yeah sounds good!
Yep, this is next on the shopping list.
yes your winds simulation is true,,,, and hopein the future you can add features on your wind simulation n such temperature of the ai that blow according to the weather of the race.......most of the time race car more heat inside on it.... physical feedback absolutely true ......
This is so cool bro i love VR and Sims
I honestly thought they were there to help keep you cool. 😂
Wait until i tell the wife I want these added on my "dream" rig as well.
I have a feeling I'm not her favourite You Tuber?! lol
Maybe we should call it "Windbased Speed Inducer" for those who don't get it?
I have a full motion rig (SFX100) for motion, with a transducer for engine revs and 2 fan wind sim, and they all play their part to enhance my enjoyment and feeling in a sim (racing or flight).
Ok, i tend to turn wind off when in a closed cockpit, but when in an open wheeler or open flight cockpit wind feels amazing (its just VERY loud though).
For those complaining, a similar argument could be said for FFB on steering wheels. I don't feel my rear wheels break traction in my car steering wheel but do on my Accuforce etc.
Yeah they can be loud, I mounted mine down by my feet so I hardly hear them.
Your videos are honestly the best on youtube regarding simracing. You know a lot, you're quite funny and comes off as a pretty smart guy.
Thank you!
Thanks mate I'm glad you like them :)
Can you make a video on the ideal wind/fan set up. I would like to try this out on my rig. Thanks!
As a sim racer, anything helps to feel the effects of what's actually happening on track, can be tough to get the feel of the car from a static rig. My oculus and headphones pretty much mimic a helmet, you don't get a huge feel from the fans but anything helps
Spot on mate!
For me it's not about realism it's about adding additional sensory inputs to the experience.
Try it you might just like it.
It might help create an amazing experience for a sim racer driving something like an Ariel Atom while using a VR headset.
If they had a burning rubber and hot engine candle so that we could smell a race car I would probably buy it lol
hahaha excellent!
Sad this is something you have to explain, lol. Makes perfect since to me. I think wind simulation would be awesome. Enjoy your videos man. Keep it up!
Fully agree just got the VR setup only thing missing is a Wind simulation!!! Can't wait. Karl would you DIY one or just buy the kit?
I DIY'd before having the SRS kit and it's fine but it doesn't have wind curving which I do really like!
Any extra feedback is good
I noticed i was driving a GT3 car in PC2 and on the inside of the drivers mirror was a tube pointed at my face. Guess what that was???? It provides air in the cockpit……similar to the wind simulators.
Man great explanation!!
Appreciate it!
Amount of air quotes in this video was enough to create wind simulation for the viewers :D
hahaha :)
Every single extra helps the immersion. I ride a lot and I’m used to wind even with a helmed because there’s no windows 😂 Fans simulating wind will help greatly and I think all the small things we can add that gives physical feedback will turn into something big together and improve our lap times
Actually no. The more you go for immersion and the more your lap times will suffer. Even VR is a detriment to really fast lap times (it can improve some aspects of driving so you can go faster in the beginning but after a while it actually impedes reducing lap times in a game). Either you go for immersion or you go for lap times, they are two different approaches to sim games, the former approaching the genre to represent as much as closely possible the feeling of driving a real car and the latter instead using every trick at your disposal in the game to go faster. Going fast has much more to do with playing a game (as a FPS) and learning the ins and out of how that game works (exactly as for every other game genre) than simulating the feeling of driving a car. You will never find an alien doing alien lap times with high torque, realistic break force setup pedals, motion rig, VR etc.; all those lap times are instead done by having as little feedback as possible just to keep the car stable and the looser setup you can have to have the least distractions as possible, coupled with using tricks in the game (that have usually nothing to do with how you really drive a real car in a track fast).
@@lavir74 well nills it’s alien and plays with a DD wheel right ? VR helps with laptimes as well. It’s so much easier to drive, look forward and gather for info for your brain. Too much immersion makes lap times suffer and I agree but not all of us are aliens right ? Decent ffb just gives you more data to work and be consistent. Alien laps time are done on them V3’s as well from the same guy. I understand what you are saying but we need a bit of both = immersion that it’s not overwhelming + decent lap times to have good battles with quick guys. I race after work and in a Sunday league because I work a lot and ride motorcycles a lot irl so immersion it’s fun for me
@@YordanHristooov Does Nills use VR or a motion rig too? No, he doesn't, and while he uses a DD wheel with good torque he still removes dynamic dampening that's the thing in ACC that actually simulate how real torque works in a GT3 car.
As for VR, as I said it improves lap times in the beginning (since racing games actually try to simulate how cars behave and hence things that improve lap times in reality surely helps in improving lap times in a sim too), then you reach a plateau and are much faster without (because the more you simulate an actual car and the more the drawbacks of it come to the surface, without, however, the positives that a real car gives you in handling it). If real race car drivers could actually drive a car being detached from the sense of speed and the instinctual responses derived from it, if they could drive with a light steering without a dampening response, if they could drive without bumps, elevations, etc. actually influencing their driving, etc. etc. do you think they will go (much) faster or slower?
@@lavir74 I think VR it’s not for everybody and it’s better than monitors. You feeding your brain with more data for incoming corners.
Less distractions will make them faster ofc but why you asking me this question ?
@@YordanHristooov As I repeat, in the beginning yes, it works like that but then, when you know the track fully in your own brain so that you don't even have to look at it to know when the apex is, when you know every single aspect of the track perfectly then VR becomes an obstacle instead. Why? Because the more immersed you become and the more the drawbacks that a real driver faces going fast you will have, as for example instinctual responses to the sense of speed. With a monitor you are fully detached from what's happening in front of you and you will not have such instinctual responses.
As I've already said: if real car drivers could go without these things they would be much faster too, but in real car you cannot, in a game you can.
Well said Karl........again, one day the potatoes will get it..
Wind Sims add just another level of immersion.
Another awesome video. Jump on a motorcycle and go for a burn you will see how much wind can tell you about how fast you are going even with a helmet on. One of these days I will get around to adding it to my rig.
I was given a ride on the back of an old ZZR1100 years ago, 150mph... my leather jacket was flapping around like a bitch in the wind! lol
That's about as fast as I've gone in very short bursts on my Honda blackbird CBR1100 250kph.
Honestly i think these are brilliant, especially with VR. I've had my VR legs for a long time but a full rally at Greece or Finland makes me get the sweats. i have to stop playing, grab a fan and point it at my face.
Yeah VR sim racing still gets me on the edge of comfort too.
nice video, most race cars do have ventilation and sometimes it's clearly visible like the porsches giant tube aimed at the drivers helmet.
have you used the buttkicker2 do you think it could work on a playseat challenge? I am very interested in your take!
^Perhaps a new video idea
They do and even road cars being used on track you would put the blowers on cold to keep your cool, albeit that has nothing to do with vehicle speed or direction! lol
I'm sure you could bolt it on but folding it away might be an issue, I don't have one to try though and they are expensive! My choice is the Reckhorn transducers.
As most race cars are stripped right down to the minimum, there probably IS some wind ROAR and cockpit baffling? sort of?
For me I want my a\c simulation. Also my fan knob to control how much.
anything to fool your brain I am all for it.
Thank you
finally decided to order from canada after watching your review karl. it came on friday so spent all day today installing it. i know its as close to plug and play as possible but i dont suppose anyone has any quick links to an easy guide to getting dirt 2 working with it please? ive tried the instructions in the software but cant get it working for some reason
also does anyone have any recommendations for any sheep skin racing suits? as living up here in the north of england im struggling with hypothermia after completing 10 laps of monza. those back straights nearly blew my nipples off lol. great product though cant wait for the summer months in vr
One thing I didn’t realise was one side blowing more than the other. This has peaked my interest more. My wife will not be pleased
lol I seem to be forever upsetting wives... maybe I should rename the channel accordingly?!
I would call it G force wind simulation. Interesting topic I didn't know about. Now I'd like to learn more. Can you do a video about how it works and how to set it up? Is it only compatible with certain games? Do you think it would translate well in flight sims?
I already have a review of the SRS Double Fan package including a setup guide mate, just search my channel :)
It's compatible with all sims that have a telemetry data stream out, which they all do, even Forza 4 which isn't a sim does! :)
Flight sim of course yes too :)
I wonder if it drops off when your in slipstream and the car in front is blocking the wind
I've been thinking about buying a SRS fan or 2 for a couple of weeks. How much of an improvement does a double-the-fan bring taking into account I'm always driving in AC with my RiftS on?
You'll still feel it just fine and I really like as you may have guessed! lol
Thank You I'm 3D printing out my parts now. Any fans you recommend?
What fans did you go with
Ok i will buy one
Dude you’re awesome lol 😂
What about a rainsimulator? 🤣💦☔️🌊🌬🌧
I have skylights in my games room, this week I could simulate rain and snow just by opening them! :) lol
Then you need me with a bucket full of water behind you!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I’d love to try it someday but the experience doesn’t seem worth running more software and using up more USB ports for me.
Really all I want is fresh air as VR gets so damn hot. I pieced together my own system that plugs in the wall and has a large dial to control the speed. It looks decent too. like it belongs in a race car.
It’s really surprising nobody offers a sim racing specific fresh air system that simply plugs in the wall and requires no usb or software. Something with a control panel that looks like it belongs in a race car.
I use the wind feature in SimVibe for my Buttkickers. It does a decent job simulating the speed of the car.
IMO It's well worth it mate, you really shouldn't be shy on USB ports or CPU cycles unless you're running a very old PC... in which case fair play! :)
@@KarlGosling My racing sim alone has 4 button boxes, a wheel base, pedals, 3 shifters with a 4th shifter on the way, motion, trackball mouse, Stream Deck, keyboard, HP Reverb G2 and if I keep the DD2 most likely a Cube Controls wheel plugged in via USB.
My flight sim has a Warthog HOTAS, rudder peddles, keyboard, mouse, soon to have a button box, flight yoke and motion.
My regular gaming setup has the Oculus Rift CV1, keyboard, mouse, Track IR and Corsair iCue LS100.
Of course not every thing is powered on all at once as I have each simulator plugged into a powered usb hub that I can switch off. Although some of it is still plugged in when simracing like the CV1 censors, gaming keyboards and mouse etc...
The Z370 chipset only has so much bandwidth. I do have issues from time to time with USB devices. “wind simulation” isn’t exciting enough for me to add more devices at this point. Plus there’s the software and more wires. I’d probably love it though as immersion is my number one goal here.
I’ve been wanting to build another pc just for sim racing but nothing I want is available. (5900x/RTX3090) It’s a combination that’s really hard to get a hold of.
lol Thats a USB nightmare you have right there mate!!
When I was driving on my mates PSVR, he rocked the chair back that I was sat in to simulate acceleration... then when I was braking, he shoved it forwards...hehe...
I adapted an old leather spring mechanism swivel/rocking chair to give me pitch, roll and slight yaw corresponding to my physical movements on the wheel and pedals. I achieved right/left roll by attaching a steel cylinder to the wooden base of the chair which sits on the floor and experimenting with angles. It took me a while to get right but now the chair rolls right/left when i turn the wheel right/left. The chair pitches forwards and backwards when i press and release the pedals simulating acceleration and braking. You need a fairly strong wheel and pedals to help achieve these movements (i have a Thrustmaster T-GT which is adequate, and strong pedal springs.) I place my wheel/pedals/shifter on a wheel stand pro in front of the chair and the immersion when playing gts Psvr at the nordschliffe goes to a new level and only for a couple of quid. The poor mans motion simulator!
Oh!...I also added small 20 watt vibration speakers to the wheel, pedals and shifter and placed a shiatsu massage pad on the chair which has built in compressing/deflating airbags which squeeze and release you when driving and simulating g forces (if you're not to discerning!) I also use vibration headphones and yes, a fan in front of me. Didn't mean to ramble on but hey, anything for a bit of immersion!
@@kevinharkness2108 Proper Good!
I would argue that it does simulate air flow to some degree. The racing organizations ive run with will run with no windows and a net or lexan windows with ducting for cooling the driver. Gives a similar feeling to me when using VR
Yeah that may be very similar if the flow increases with speed!
@@KarlGosling yup, similar to the feel in my track car. cant imagine not having it now
Does that bass shaker work well with that Ali profile rig mate
I've got two fitted right now with another two to do later this week and so far they work really really well! :)
@@KarlGosling sweet,doesn’t the profile muffle the vibrations ,are yer going to do a vid on the transducers on the Ali rig.
@@TheBuzzorca not at all! Yeah I will when it's all done.
i break wind alot in my car so i should simulate that in my rig?
You should!
think instead of wind simulation the term more sense stimulation which you learn to use in race sim
We need g-force suits!
This is a bit unrelated, but what do you think is the best driving/racing game for vr?
Dirt Rally 2.0 is easily the best but Assetto Corsa is great and can be found for £5 and also Euro Truck simulator is unreal in vr
I'm a DR man too, but if you can run them on high settings then all driving games look good a feel great in VR.
DR2 is my personal favorite if you can stomach it. AMS2 is my 2nd favorite vr title (best graphics/performance in VR IMO). Keep in mind that It's still in development (Developers are great and are constantly adding/fixing stuff). If you know how to mod it Assetto Corsa is also great.
finally someone thinking along the same lines as me. i posted this same question on a facebook group and got absolutley slated lol. ive had a butkicker 2 for nearly 8 years now and too be honest couldnt be without it. quick question does anyone know any uk distributer of the sim racing studio or anything similar i can buy in the uk without ordering from over seas? think its going to be my next lockdown purchase.
I know mate it's so stupid how angry people get over nothing!
There's no UK supplier you have to order from the US, don't forget to use my discount if you do though (KG5) it will help bring things down a bit.
@@KarlGosling shame. i was hoping to have one delivered by next week. hope the import duty isnt to much but i,ll look into it via your link. great channel by the way im spending far too much of my free time watching your content lol
Mate just keep pimping that sim 😎 if you got the cash why not
bit like having rumble or force feedback on a controller or wheel, for the nuggets who doubt its a game....A G A M E
When you take off from a jump, I imagine that the rig goes silent because it's gone to take a run up for when it kicks you in the pants on landing >_
is there anywhere ya can put a butt kicker to a bucket seat on a profile rig ? i
There's loads of room immediately under the seat, or just bolt it directly behind the seat would also work fine.
@@KarlGosling thanks
would it be quite loud like racing at 1am downstairs in a normal size house or does it just vibrate?
