Poll: Your most motion-sickness inducing racer?

Which racing games cause the most motion sickness?

Posters named the racing games that gave them the strongest sense of speed or nausea, including CART Precision Racing, Rally Championship, GPL replays at the Nurburgring and Superbike 2001. Doug Milliken mentioned simulator sickness in professional simulators, and several said first-person shooters affected them more.

And I don't mean, necessarily, actually throwing up, but one that really gave you the feeling of speed..

Sadly a lot is lacking in that sim, but the feeling of speed in the roadcourses are great. F1RC aren't too bad either. -- Olav K. Malmin remove .spam when replying
Watching replays or watching someone else race at the Ring on GPL. I just can't do it! After one lap I get teh classic Doom headache and want to puke.

Slightly off topic: I understand that the Volkswagen driving simulator (in Germany) was very good at generating simulator sickness, but this is second hand info. A www search for "simulator sickness" should turn up some interesting hits. How about in a real car? Never thrown up, but been very close on several occassions, usually while trying to take notes on a clip board...while someone else is doing some aggressive test driving. Or trying to read the route instructions on a rally (I found out that I'm a poor choice for navigator<grin>). -- Doug Douglas Milliken <[email hidden]> Milliken Research Associates Inc.
lol! Luckily, I don't get that.... When in flight training, I had to do "hoodwork" - wear a hood to block outside views so I could only see the instrument panel - loved every second of it, and we even has one really turbulent day. My instructor (like 70 years old, not exaggerating) said he could fly all day like that - but as soon as he gets on a boat, he "chums." Doug Milliken wrote:

One saturday, I sat down in front of my wheel to practise Zandvoort in GPL. I was gonna do a full GP in the evening the same day, and was not consistent at that track. I decided to put in some hours of practise to build up consistency. I practised for 10 hours at that track. In the end I felt car sick. When my league race started 12 hours after I started practising, I felt so car sick that I had to bring out a bucket, just in case of "accident". I could very well be loosing my dinner during the race. Sadly, my connection broke down during the race, and I discoed. The positive side to the disco is that if I had not discoed, my dinner could have ended up in the bucket.. This was a strange experience.

Interestingly enough, I do not experience any type of motion sickness with either racing or flying sims. However, put a first person shooter in front of me, and I'll upchuck within 30 minutes. -- Don Burnette D Burnette in N4 Some people do nothing wrong. The problem is, they do nothing.

Do you think if you programmed the First Person Shooters to use a wheel instead of a mousee you would NOT get sick...the wheel is something you can hold on to...something you can balance yourself with against the motion of the game... but also...don't most of the games like halflife have an option to disable the head bobbing up and down motion they try to simulate??? dave henrie "Don Burnette" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:3AQw6.57454$[email hidden]... > Interestingly enough, I do not experience any type of motion sickness with > either racing or flying sims. > However, put a first person shooter in front of me, and I'll upchuckwithin

Don't know, never tried that but it's a thought. I haven't tried enough of them to know about disabling head bobbing, I gave up on them some time ago. I hated feeling so nauseated. I guess I could take some pills for it if I wanted to try them again. -- Don Burnette D Burnette in N4 Some people do nothing wrong. The problem is, they do nothing. And THAT is wrong.

Hi! > I have no problems of motion sickness (played Half Life non-stop for 2 > days when it came out :) but a friend of me can't even watch me > playing a 3d shooter for 5 minutes before he gets motion sick.. weird Same with me and my wife. I used to play Unreal/Half-Life very often, sometimes during the whole day (I'm a student, you know ;) ). I also race whole gp-distances in my lan-league without any problem. But when my wife watches me doing this, she gets sick within minutes. Weird thing is: If she's on the wheel and controls the car herself, she doesn't get sick at all. Seems to be the theory that if you can grab sth or control the motion yourself, your brain doesn't mind. We once were in the local IMAX theater where they showed a 3D-movie. You had to wear those polarizing glasses and the effect was very good. My wife had to watch 3/4 of the movie without the glasses, though ;). Regards Crash

I find that watching someone else play a FPS is hard on the stomach. When playing FPS's myself, I have to make sure the mouse sensitivity is adjusted such that movements of the mouse turn me on the screen as far as I *expect* to go. If the mouse is set too fast, I'll get sick. Setting it too slow only hurts my playing ability, but I don't get sick. My 2 cents. Jason. Don Burnette wrote:

Superbike 2001...had to return it. In cockpit (?) view the speed and the -extreme- side to side leaning at high speeds very close to the track...ugh... And I don't like driving in arcade view. It's supposed to be a sim.. If you can take it, though, it's a very good, good-looking sim. J.P.

Me too... yet my friend can play racers. I'm almost sure its the whipping around of the frame of reference in most people who feel dizzy; for him, it's the up and down. Andre Warringa wrote:

Well throwing up wise, Motocross Madness 2 with the on-bike view. I actually ride MX bikes, and it made me a little queasy. :-) Tim On Thu, 29 Mar 2001 13:19:24 GMT, andrew <[email hidden]> wrote: >And I don't mean, necessarily, actually throwing up, but one that really >gave you the feeling of speed..
Much more fun running 250 laps at Bristol! Now I don't know about getting motion sickness, but it seems like after turning so many laps around that place, seems kinda DULL coming in and the race is over... at least we don't have to wait a week! Just start another race :) On Sat, 31 Mar 2001 00:51:20 GMT, "Don Burnette" <[email hidden]> wrote:

I noticed further down in the thread, you said that you don't play them often. I've loved FPS's, starting way back with Wolf 3D, and never really had a problem with them, right up to current games. I recently started playing network games with a buddy that never played computer games until recently. We started right up with Quake 2 and Half Life, and it would mess him up so bad that he would literally stagger when he stood up. He'd get nauseous, and walk around almost like he was drunk for a good minute after standing. This feeling passed permanently after a few long sessions of various FPS games. I think jumping right into a current FPS with head bob, etc can mess anyone up for the first couple hours of play, but it will be overcome. If you really like FPS's, try playing one that lets you toggle the head bob, and play it off and on as much as you can stand. You'll eventually overcome the motion sickness. Tim
