Driver's-Seat Driving Game Controller

Posted by timothy on from the well-that-seems-perfectly-reasonable dept.

RichardX writes "The folks at Real Virtual Car have taken an old car, hooked up a projector to the windscreen, USB on the steering and pedals, connected it all up to a PC and ended up with what may be the single greatest homemade games controller ever." Even a force-feedback steering wheel!

    Don't jump on my most minor point. But if you inssist: not fast & dangerous != not fun. As for the rest - then DON'T use so called "reallistic" games. As i pointed out in parent, RR is more realistic, in the sense that more closely resembles real experience, in parts that can be resembled at all. PS I'm a student too, moreover without my own car at all (never had, won't have in some time). So please don't tell me I'm biased or something. I simply know what is fun.
