    i was wondering if somebody else thinks about to add some "Hot Air" to a wind simulator

    goggle seems to have no results for this topic.

    But in real life a racing car will produce massive heat especially in the summer season ...so why not update the wind wimulator with a kind of heating function ?

    yes maybe its really uncompfortable to blow hot air on your face but maybe it improves immersion a step further ?!

    so how can it be acieved ? infrared heater or kind of hair dryer thing ? :D

    did somebody tried this before ?

    I can't recall anybody doing hot air, but adding a heat element into a wind sim setup would be easy enough to do.

    Lol... Not exactly.... In a racing car cockpit it's almoust 50 to 60 degree celcius.... OK nobody wants that at home.... But for a Touch of realism a Nice warm Wind can blow around you maybe it's possible to implement some ceramic heater Modules into the airflow.

    Just sarcasm I apologize. It would ad another level of realism for sure. Good luck
