1. When I watch the simulator in action, the motion seems really intense. Why is the simulator made with such excessive motion?
2. I love the simulator, but after driving it for a while I feel like there’s too much motion.3. What do I do if the simulator breaks down?
4. Will the simulator become obsolete? How many cars and tracks are available?
5. Is the simulator hard to install/set up?
6. Will the simulator work with the PC I already have in my home/office?
7. How much customization can be done on the simulator?
8. Can I link my simulator to another simulator for racing purposes?
Good simulation allows the participant to become fully immersed in the event. The more identical the simulation is to the actual event, the more realistic the simulation. A race car, for example, traveling at speeds of 150 miles/hour or more would produce tremendous centrifugal and G forces on the driver in the cockpit.
The Blue Tiger simulator’s seats, controls, and monitors all move with the rider, providing the strongest motion and visual cues for complete experiential immersion. While a bystander views lots of motion, it is an entirely different experience for the driver. The driver doesn’t see the motion but instead feels the motion as though he is in a moving vehicle - not simply moving around inside a vehicle. The controls and monitor move with the driver, keeping the point of reference consistent regardless of movement. This is critical for position, pitch and roll movement to be convincingly perceived as acceleration, braking, and centrifugal force.
Quite simply, the only way to recreate those forces is through our full motion simulation. The only way to recreate momentum and inertia is through movement. In order to create good simulation, the proper environment is necessary. Placing the simulator in a room against a blank wall, utilizing a helmet to recreate the proper field of vision of the racetrack, and adding earphones for most accurate sound feedback allows the rider to focus, becoming more and more immersed in an incredibly realistic experience after only a few laps.
We are not the only ones saying this; here is a quote from a recent article in Circle Track Magazine,
"This thing is unreal. When can I buy one? It doesn't take long and you are completely into the
experience. The feeling is so realistic and it completely ties in what you see to what you're
feeling as you sit in the seat. The fact that you are strapped in makes the slightest motion
of the seat transfer to your body instantly. The Blue Tiger is the best racing simulator
I've ever had the opportunity to use to date."
