One of the ways I waste my time is by playing Live For Speed, a racing sim for
the PC. On the LFS forums, a company named Force Dynamics
(www.force-dynamics.com) was mentioned -- they make a “motion system” for race
sims. It’s got 3 degrees of freedom and costs from US$10K to 30K. Yes, I was
wrong at dinner when I said it only cost 3K, oops :) Anyways, there you go
Calum, and for anyone else who might be interested.

That’s funny Wayne - Ivan showed me Live for Speed well over a year ago, and
he’s been playing it ever since (Ivan, are you there?) - somehow I couldn’t
really get into it myself. Maybe my 900Mhz Athlon has something to do with it.
If I recall, the game is difficult. But it is really cool - instanteneous
displays of reaction forces in all 3-axes at all 4 tires... sweet.....
I’ve been playing Forza Motorsport on Xbox - which is quite similar - feels very
much like a simulator, not an arcade game. Feels like properly calculated
physics, wheel loads, slip angles, dynamics, etc. Difficult game, but that’s
why you start with slow cars (Honda Accord coupe) and THEN move on up.... ;)
