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.

CART Precision Racing. Sadly a lot is lacking in that sim, but the
feeling of speed in the roadcourses are great. F1RC aren't too bad either.

Rally championship
you know youve been playing it too long when your eyes start bleeding!
oz.
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

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>).

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."

CM2.0 has done that to me. Too many curves.
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.

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.

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

Hi!

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 ;).

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.

In cockpit (?) view the speed and 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.

Same here, Don, and not just for the motion.
Something about running around shooting people just doesn't tickle my fancy.

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.

lap!!

Well throwing up wise, Motocross Madness 2 with the on-bike view.
I actually ride MX bikes, and it made me a little queasy. :-)

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 :)

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.
