Building a kickass simulator!

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...... greetz BAS

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. Chris

Sorry, only one thing. His Name is Colin McRae, like McLaren or McDonalds. Titop

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! * Master of Magic *

GPL for feel is my recommendation Greetings Greg

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? ;-)
