[@iiiKingLongSwipeiii]

​@@stanley4290no Stanley you were clearly an idiot because you're a fool to pay $175,000 for something that isn't even worth that because of technology that rips people off these days.... All those TV monitors could have been bought for less than $800 a piece when purchased at Costco those small hydraulics shouldn't be going for $50,000 a piece... This is a complete rip-off.... There is no computer in the world that cost $90,000 to just run a video game all said and done at the end of the day....

would be even cooler if the screens were integrated into the windshield

We did that 8-years ago and it does have some trade offs... kzbin.info/www/bejne/mnecfYWZqrlrbsU

Then you wont be able to see the hood of the car.

[@Trash_Lord]

@@ProjectWrecked I work for a company that does something similar to this with helicopter simulators for the US military, we use commercial VR headsets that let us set up a 'cutout' where we could not render over the hood, but render everything all around it.

[@ProjectWrecked]

@Trash_Lord That's cool. I haven't heard of that yet. Would you be able to do that with the entire cockpit and render the scene 360 around the entire car?

[@johndc2998]

​@@ProjectWrecked think f35

[@Pholiage]

Why didn't they use a ultra curve screen along with a pair of widescreens mounted on the car. The L and A pillars would simulate the view limits. The immersion would be on another level

[@JaredPaul01]

Watch the video, the screens are temporary

[@nicholasfink8159]

My neighbor gave me one of the samsung ultra curve TV's when he bought a bigger one lol I can confirm laying it on the windshield works better than it should. It is next level and the angle of the screen I thought would be an issue isn't. Give it a try you don't have to have motion to have a good time on the cheap you just the tv, a console or PC and any car. Is this rig that featured better perhaps slightly but I get to play my game and not worry about my kids college funds either and honestly I don't need the motion haptic feedback and surround sound is all you need to feel "there"

[@Pholiage]

@@nicholasfink8159 I that with the Samsung 49 inch along with 2x27 inch as "side windows" playing Dirt Rally 1 and 2. Crazy immersion

[@Kr8zyVids]

Next step is a screen behind for the background/side mirrors

[@DJHeroMasta]

These rigs are built to order. The "correct" screens are already at the place of delivery.

[@77celicagk]

The ultimate simulator. So cool. High tech meets old school. Surprised how this 280z is so similar to my 77 Celica GT liftback. From the black vinyl interior to the exterior colour. I believe Toyota called it Chinese red.

[@Giitzerland]

It makes me sick to think of how many cars have been in my life, that are so stupidly priced now. I've had a 240z, pretty much perfect, several 260's, and a couple 280z, and ZX Turbo, along with a hateful list of mustangs, GTI's, Rabbits, perfect 85' S10 Blazer with V8 conversion, A Starion, An all white spec'd Stage II HKS custom Conquest TSi(mint!), so many FOX body's, GT's, a LX 5.0's, just so many of everything, and they were just fun for me, with the exception of the Conquest, which was so perfect I was afraid to drive it, but ended up loving and caring for it, until a drunk chick from UCF ran into me(thanks Amy >

[@Mustardmartin]

My brain was tricked pretty quickly the leather seat really seems like it helps throw you around just like in a real car before you buy a race seat and would be a great way to show the value of just a harness and so on to a seat

[@2tothe6]

This is what i would call dedication to all these details! Love it

[@ryurc3033]

I had a 280z parked in my living room for a Winter (Also did it with a ek hatch) Man this would have been a cool.

[@AliasHSW]

Just clicked on the video but already waiting to see if Larry will mention his Z. 😅

[@cdub2140]

They need to use a curved TV as the windshield and itd be truly perfection

Looks can be deceiving. You're not just looking at a screen. You're actually in the car physically feeling what's happening to it's suspension geometry in real time through your body.

[@SillyMonkeysLikeApples]

[@R-K-R]

Incredible work, i suggest use a 360 screen arround the car to more inmersion, when you look the mirror can see the track and turn your head and continuing seen the track and opponent, would be the crazy sim ever done.

We evaluated that and also projection. Unfortunately a 360-deg projection is not supported by the software and would be more expensive than the cost of the car. :-(

[@TheJB84]

Or.... For $150,00 less, you can get a full track specd Miata with a small block nuclear reactor.

True. We love Miata's and currently doing a Miata engine swap to an FD chassis. But this is a sim center attraction and revenue generation tool. Pays for itself within a year.

[@CyberdriveAutomotive]

the distance of the screens and peripheral vision containing basically what amounts to a warehouse is big meh this needs a VR headset to actually be immersive

Does the price include a realistic sim model or is it running on some random mod's physics?

Includes a basic model, typically with no interior to save costs.

[@xj98cherokee]

fantabulous , welcome to kuwait

[@coletrickle-km7cl]

The Australian tag system version is better because you can put ANY car on its chassis dyno simulator. And the tires are rolling and the engine is running.

[@meegel]

that is so sick!

[@nicholasfink8159]

Very cool I did the same thing in my garage literally for free with things I had laying around.... If your spending this much money on a sim instead of an actual car your just wasting your money... Did it literally for FREE

[@all4runner316]

$175,000 not a bad price point considering. Still needs more tech as in some sort of rig programmed that will push, pull, side to side g-force on the driver in the seat to give a real feeling of acceleration/ deceleration, cornering, sliding, and bump loss of traction.... but it will get there, I have a few idea's for it. Im sure the people and companies that buy these have a much bigger single curved screen.

[@DJHeroMasta]

But this system does achive all of those things except for the sliding sensations. This is a 4-DOF (degrees of freedom) system. To simulate physical traction loss you'll need an 6-DOF, the Z-axis. That can simply be another addon as they too exist. But don't stop brainstorming, innivation must continue forward!

[@WheelzOH]

kinda surprised they haven’t turned the cars headlights into a projector

[@turbovids]

Haha, the 280z sounds interesting ;-)

[@jasjenne8604]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@darkizofficial]

thats insane!

[@purp40]

It's cool only if you're a company. Main point of this level of sim racing is to help you on the track, you know how many track days you could attend with 175k lol you could go every single day

True. This is more of a revenue generating tool for sim centers, so you can afford to go tracking in a real car for real. ;-)

[@purp40]

Doesn't make any sense lol with the money they spent on that, they could have bought a 1000hp race car and attended a year worth of track days if not more, and have money for maintenance. Also this one isn't even that cool, there is a guy on tiktok(i dont use tiktok but i saw it reposted on instagram) who has this exact setup, but his car moves around too, like the rear end slides back and fourth, it's as real of an experience as it gets. And he did it for a few thousand dollars lol

[@NordPros]

Man idono.. I think this stuff is all un-needed with VR.

[@SB-tp3yw]

needs a massive projector screen those screens are way too small for the scale of the thing

[@drft20B]

From the GoPro POV I feel it breaks the immersion being able to see below the screen, from your actual eye level do you see below the bottom of the screens?

[@advanceddarkness3]

having nothing on the side windows would break it for me. Id just rather go with a $500 VR headset, but its still a cool project.

These are just test screens. The real activation will have 80"+ OLEDs that will cover the nose up quite well with an accurate horizon.

@@advanceddarkness3 VR is great for home use, this will have 40-60 people per day driving the car, and ease of access and driving is key. Hygiene aside, the majority of the population does better with screens that adjusting VR. It's really a compromise, but otherwise value for $, VR is king.

[@sneakthieve]

I pray they got a great modder or team to create an amazing car. I see they're running AC

Yes. AC is awesome been purchasing commercial licenses from Kunos since 2015.

[@moparmarley]

The gas can covers are nice but a speaker box would look better. How many more people put a sound system into their cars rather than gas cans?

[@alekot7105]

They should find a way to project the image on to the windshield glass and the two front door windows

[@DJHeroMasta]

I remember LG announcing thier flexible screens back at CES a few years ago.

We have done that before with a full motion Peterbilt 579 truck. Using three short throw projectors and special vinyl on the screen with special software for the cutouts. It has its challenges and would definitely not fit into this project. Three 80" OLED screens up front are easier to manage, supported by the software and very robust/proven technology by now. 👍

[@combedintuition]

Should put some sliders that go left and right under the tires so you don't get that tire squeak and leave marks on the floor. There's a million dollar idea for free you're welcome.
