Regarding VR gear for GPL...

Combining the FF "chair" from vrf.com and the Rock'nRide
seems interesting...but imagine the VRF chair,the Rockn'ride,
AND the VR helmet from Forte,all together with GPL.
The only additional thing needed would be an absolute
positional sensor on top of the helmet in order to determine its location
in space , but I think the electromagnetic stationary
ones are getting cheap nowadays.
And of course you add a large subwoofer in the seat of the
Rockn'ride......There's a special cavity there  for a subwoofer,
according to the review (where was it?),and it would be a shame
not to use it,wouldn't  it....;-)

To work 100%,it would need some software integration/coordination,
but so much as to be unreasonable....

I've thought about it and it would be a rush to say the least. :)
 My new years resolution is to have that setup,hehe. I just hope one of
these sim's will fully support them all. WSC will support the FF seat
from VRF, A3D sound and maybe a 3d headset if were lucky. who know's
maybe if we bug them enough they will add support for everything in one
of their addon packages. ;)
It would be amazing if gpl, N4 or anything supported it though.
