Motorbike Simulator - Good or Bad idea?

Is that yours? Are you managing forces there, or is it "full passive" like the other motorbike simulators listed here up to now?

Hi No its not mine I wish Check his youtube channel He explains everything and it looks very realistic to me.

I will. Looks great (but passive)

In real life you have to lean "actibly" so its more real than getting movements by motors imho

Motors should be set to resist to the roll as a function of speed. Those "things" out there turning on their own are not sims but promotinal bullshit

Yes. most of them turn when people move the steering bar. That wheeeley guy has to really use his weight tu lean in order to turn

You are right. The same apply to the sim i linked

I know I am bit late on this thread but last night I thought of MotoGP sim and was wondering why not putting the bike floor a bit higher. Assuming the virtual road is ~70cm above the ground it would be easy to mount springs and a counterweight like a pendulum. Apart from that the hole thing could be mounted just like a regular 2DOF sim on a cardanjoint. With this setup even weak motors should get you back into position. Another approach would a combination of passive and active movement. If you add a "controller" with a gyroscope sensor to your body your angle could be submitted to the machine which acts like a servomotor then.

Hello, I have been reading this thread and it seems very interesting, I would like to know your opinion about our simulator project for home.

LeanGp - crashed and burned in the paddocks!

Thought I would share here my last addon for my motion rig: motobike handlebar that plugs into the T300RS wheel (pedals plug).

Simple installation. I’m using GPBikes game, which is probably one of the most realistic motorbike games for now. Struggeling to make VR work with my Pimax headset... hope I’ll find a way.

Now it is 2021 and with the release of the latest MotoGP21 (not even sure if there is a plugin yet) has anyone bought this Moto sim into fruition as yet?

I am thinking of either building a new rig just for Moto or simply adding the handlebar/steering setup.

With the wheel/bar setup, Wouldn't it be just as simple to reverse the steering input so right input = lean left in sim?

Anyway, looking forward to digging further into this concept. I'm hoping @noorbeast will point me in the right direction.

cheers

@noorbeast Thanks mate. I'm going to go with the handlebar over steering wheel setup initially (can be done for under $100 using E-scooter accelerators and brake levers. I'm just searching the pages for how to wire up these bits and pieces then use Vjoy, so if you know where I can find them that'd be great.

I will hunt down a motorbike frame for 2.0 and do some more research.

my first simplified 2dof motorbike design

something more complicated but a lot of weight
