[quote][i]Originally posted by Paul_J[/i] [quote][i]Originally posted by Cosmo[/i] [quote][i]Originally posted by Paul_J[/i] I know Honda have one similar [/quote] I know for a fact they are wanting something better :o:o [/quote] No surprise after their shit season last year :lol: To be honest... I'm a fan of realism, the more realistic the better... though that puts limitations on having a controlling device sufficent enough to handle it... Then also with realism there's things such as feedback events on the actual cockpit ... bumps, tilting to simulate g force etc.. To develop it for a F1 team to use, it would have to simulate the real world COMPLETELY... everything the suspension, tyres, etc would do, 100% precise... otherwise it is useless for 'testing' on, as a setup that works in the sim, may turn out to be useless in real life... It would also be useless to practice on, as a corner in the sim they can go through flat out, may not be possible in real life etc. How would you model their EXACT downforce? if they put a new slight flap, or bit of body work on, is your sim going to re calculate that? no? well how's it going to help the team... As the simulation will not be a true representation of the real car. last year honda were shit, because someone didn't quite calibrate their new wind tunnel properly :lol: You imagine tuning your car / testing setups for track on a simulator that's not quite real... Ok... so say you've made a 100% Realistic sim, that exact models tyre deformations, exact area dynamics (better than a wind tunnel or fluid dynamics), every possibilty in new engine mapping etc etc... (everything a team who want to test new idea's on) ... ... then basically it'd be pointless for the use outside of the F1 world. Yes it'd be cool to drive it for a laugh, but since you wouldn't be used to the cars / tracks, it would take a while to learn / get used to it, before you could do a quick time... I don't really see someone lending you the simulator for the day. Honda for example, used to take their simulator sometimes to Corporate events to let people have a quick blast / watch jenson have a blast, while people watched. but really what your suggesting is pointless and has no market outside, despite what people say.
