    So do you plan having the linear travel distance different between front and back with some kind of connection pivot, so it gives a similar movement to traction loss, or do you have something else in mind?

    What I had in mind from your description was that the front rail would move less than the rear, which would mean the connection has to pivot, but I think that should give a traction loss type movement. Or perhaps you have something different in mind?

    The pivot is my preferred unfortunately I have very little room to work with but yes i will play with both during contruction pivot and no pivot to see if i get the feeling of traction loss.

    The distance i have to work with before i hit the wall is 4 inchs at the rear witch means using a pivot point at front thechair will only move maybe 2-3 inches of travel.

    If the front travels 4 inches the same distance of the rear 4 inches than at the chair i will get the same 4 inches of travel, but i do not know how it will feels until i test.

    I will play with both during fabrication.

    Both moving the same distance is a sway rather than traction loss effect.

    Can you do a sketch of what you have in mind.

    Yeap it is, so doing the pivot point is the recomended traction loss. That give me an idea! What about have both!

    Rails for sway, Traction loss......... But only with 4" to the wall ? Im confused, How the heck can you fit those Screens and not have more than 4" to the wall..... I know the real estate required for those size of screens and Im seriously failing to understand the back half of your room....Pics maybe ?

    The room is 10 ft by 20 ft the screen Stand is located 45 degree angle so the rig is in a 45 degree angle the back has only 4 inches before it hits the wall i do not have alot of room so maybe a sway cofiguration will not work due to space but shannonb1 recomendation of making one plate and moving the motors and the seat at the same time that will work it will be like the back kicking out just like traction loss.

    I draw my CXC Replica and the SimXperience Statege 4 Rig in AutoCAD to 1:1 Scale, and compare the motion and distance of travel of both system, the chair on both systems are traveling the same distance but not the Rear, measurements are in inches see picture:

    @MiltonNice rig, I'm no expert but losing traction back and forth when driving straight, just doesn,t look right to me, I only expect it on corners or doing a wheelie, maybe you've got it turned up too highor not on extra 1 or something, just my humble opinion

    Yeap! It was too high i Crank it up for the vidio so i can see the motion after the video was done i set it down, thanks for the observation!

    Fair enough, nothing like getting the sh..t shaken out of you, I haven't got TL on my rig it's MDF and weighs a ton I envy you, you've certainly put a lot of work into it. Love your monitors nice thin bezels and a nice size, who needs an Oculus?? Kidding!!
