Except for not having any G-forces (which is a big deal actually) this looks pretty darn cool. Depicts the Brands Hatch Grand Prix circuit in 1979. This was around the same time I was racing Formula Fords. Action starts at about 1:50. To tell you the truth, I don't know how these sim drivers do so well without seat of the pants G-forces. Quite amazing! Sim Racing

Those are beautiful pedals; you're right about G-forces (Obviously, you'd know!) I have the same problem flying; the missing seat of the pants feel vs. the real thing throws me time and again.

I Dig It! That's very cool Stachl. Those look like a really nice pedal set. It was interesting to be able to check out the guys technique while driving. Seemed like a handful at times...or foot full. Good stuff

Hackl, Yea, they don't have to dance on the pedals like we used to back then (yes I'm old). They just flick a paddle on the steering wheel now days, it's a lost art. I still do it when I'm driving my MR2 though. Baldur, That's true, but the G-forces during air combat in WWII would of been tremendous and probably unpleasant and tiring. But you are right and that's why I like my FFB stick so much. At least it's something.

I hear ya, Stachl; I have an FFB2 stick I used to use, packed away in a box, Largely because I can't mate it with my other CH gear.
