Okay guys, help me out here,

At school me and some friends are trying to build a real racesimulator. The
plan is to use a kart-frame, place 4 pneumatic cylinders underneath it,
attach the bunch to a PLC and the PC, and have lots of fun!

But that's not the problem, the problem is that I really don't know which
game to use. I need a game which gives the most feedback, and can be played
over a network with at least two opponents!

Which one should I use, Collin Mcray? Doesn't matter whether it's F1 or a
rally game......

Soda Off-road will probably give the most feedback with all the jumps and bumps
in it. However i cant really say much for Collin Mcray since i havent played
it.

His Name is Colin McRae, like McLaren or McDonalds.

Colin McRae Rally is a totally boss and unique rally simulator,
especially when used with force feedback and a high resolution.

If it weren't for the network option you asked for, I would certainly
advise Grand Prix Legends for single player realism!

GPL for feel is my recommendation

the most FF I've played (sucky game though) is Monster Truck Madness 2...

Well, Grand Prix Legends would be great, but how are you going to get
the force-feedback information from the game that you'll need to feed
into your pneumatic motion-simulator contraption?

Seems to me you'd need some kind of interface to the game so you could
read this information in real-time.

Maybe if you asked Microsoft they could build this interface into
DirectX9? ;-)
