If only the most realistic car-racing simulator will do, you might want to check out the VRX Mach 4, a gaming system that goes to incredible lengths to give you the most gut-wrenching driving experience you could possibly have while sitting in your boxer shorts going zero mph. To make it all seem real, VRX Industries has strapped together four Xbox 360 gaming consoles, each feeding its HD graphics to one of the system's three Sharp Aquos 37-inch 1080p LCD screens, with one console dedicated to a 7-inch LCD that functions as a rear-view mirror.
Blasting out walls of sound is a 1500-watt tactile vibration feedback system, teamed up with a 1900-watt power amplifier feeding those roaring engine noises to a Bose Acoustimass 10 Series surround sound system. The Mach 4's makers even installed a couple of powerful fans to make it feel like the wind is whooshing into your face.
This entire $25K rig is significantly cheaper than a fully equipped race car that can go zero to 60 in four seconds, but then, wouldn't an actual real-world experience be more rewarding? Yes, unless you're a lazy fraidy cat. But hey, why not drive fast cars in the real world, and then hone your skills by practicing your racing moves on the Mach 4?

It would please the world of engineering and transportation to come up to standard, uniquely and quickly for the good of the Kyoto summit protocol to use your simulator. I'm a inventor developing a unique maglev motor in a vehicle powered only by solar energy, the prototype is still on the drawing board but getting close to production and with a simulator like this I could assess the vehicles characteristics in real life and bring a vehicle to the world that will travel around urban areas of our globe at normal roadway speeds now in force. then on envisioned linkage with maglev express ways the vehicle will turn onto a onramp that leads to intercity maglev roads suitably constructed for purpose built 650kph travel in a person car loading up the cars nano-tube capacitors whilst in high speed travel between cities, then at the chosen exits return to urban travel the wheel/ motors converting from urban horizontal and then vertical for expressway travel and back to vertical on exiting the expressway. This project is a multi trillion dollar venture that will take over transportation globally and with the need of remote drive ability your simulator would be used to make this project usable as a non driver unit that can be ordered at will via cell phones. The occupants or luggage will travel via these vehicles to their destination and the vehicles will eliminate parking, bottle necking global warming to name but a few, it will counteract the stream of flight mishaps by using the expressways at a projected 650kph and even through in wheel turbines be capable of underwater and surface transportation eliminating the need for bridging over smaller water ways. The vehicle will be invaluable in our years of catastrophic calamity around the world by making use of such vehicles for disaster relief service vehicle, water borne evacuation vehicles and so forth again still to name a few.
When this maglev in wheel concept is at it peak there will be great advances in engineering to many questions yet needing answers, transformability to name one the list goes on and on and no and by backing this product the world will be able to eliminate many processes that are required in engineering due to their lack of requirement in the new age of "Angstromega units"
