[Case Gallery] SMACK's Antec 900 and Racing Cockpit

you could get some of those rumble things that you hook up to car stereos that rumble the seats and tune them so u could get some realistic engine vibrations
 
That's what you need, adjustable seat rails. lol

My pedals are on adjustable slides, I don't want to make my seat adjustable as then my son would be able to play in it by himself, can't have that then I won't get to play.....lol
 
great practice to a most wanted concept... 8/10 for the rig, 10/10 overall (inc. the red... rig)

here is an idea (if you can affort it): adapt electric "pistons" around your...racecar and use force feedback (joypad tech) to control them. And then race...

Yep, got one of those. seat shaker is fitted to the back of the seat with the amp sitting my my right side. I don't use it that often but it does give a good rumbling effect

Not sure I follow this idea. What will the pistons do and where should I put them?

Thanks for your input :)

instead of having the chair fixed to the frame you could have the pistons (electrical, kind of springs and damper parts) fixed to the frame and the chair on to them, by setting them up as a cross the concept is to make it work as a joystick in reverse action, meaning that when you turn the wheel to the right you 'll get a force feedback on the chair forcing it to an angle to the right... the idea is practicaly the same as it is used in coin-op arcade games... try... http://www.immersion.com/gaming/video_pc/next-gen/

if you need more info try an engineering college or university and tell them, or send my a private email... bye!

lol 22" chrome spinners!

ROFLMAO - Mate they will completely dwarf my cockpit, but I could motorise the spinners for extra effect........lol
 
String and styrofoam bricks will help him drive!

Yiasou file,

Awesome idea although a I have a feeling to set something like that up means it will consume a heap of space in my already cramped room.

Thanks for the idea, I will look into though.
