i agree, i think the motion is a tad exaggerated

I believe I read that this is actually a moto GP simulator...the exaggerated motion might make more sense in that context.

in regards to the motion of the 'simulator', it is necessary to attempt to simulate the forces exerted on the body of a driver. ehh this guy kinda explains it better, he posted in the comments section under the video on streetfire.

To johnnysnowking:Know what your talking about before you speak, please it makes us as Americans look stupid. The sim creates the oculogravic illusion, which is the sense that if the body is accelerated in linear plane your otolith organs feel you in a climb. The sim uses the opposite in this case, raising the nose to create a feelings of acceleration. It is the same reason fighter pilots do not hold the stick when launching from a carrier, they feel the nose is climbing to fast and push down in the water, "giving it back to the tax payers."

its still kinda vague explanation but eh u guys get it now?

I agree.

I think the other explanation kinda touched on it but it's not the motion, it's the OPPOSITE motion that creates the lateral/fore/aft accel/decel of a true driving sim. It's pretty impressive piece of equipment with the right software.
