    IMHO, all of that should be included with every purchase of rF2. Yeah. :)

    I dont know what price range the seat belts are that constrict your body when braking, but those seem awesome. I know i remember seeing F1 simulators (for the F1 drivers) have extremely expensive ones putting pressure on your body under braking. I Think there are cheaper civilian versions though. Yet Another update to sink Money into. :D

    The seat belts has a huge importance with motion. Without it you feel disconnected the cockpit and you don’t feel the motion( car movements) with seat belts you are more connected to the cockpit and you feel more the forces in your body as gear changing kicks, blacking, sway gforces.... I can’t race now without my seat belt. It’s a cheap 2 inch 4 point seay belt from AliExpress ( you don’t need expensive seat belts in racing cockpit) but I think I will upgrade to 3 inch 5 point seat belts because I feel that the fifth one ( the one that pass through your legs down) will keep you more connected to the seat and I feel I’m missing it.

    What i meant was there are motorized seat belts that dynamically constrict your body the more you brake. If you go fast and slam the brakes the seat belts will squeeze your body, and when you let go of the brakes the seat belt dynamically stop squeezing your body. Makes it feel like there is G forces even more together with the motion rig.

    I cant remember the website that sold them and i Think they had several models. The one i saw was for professional sim rigs and cost A LOT of Money because it was very powerful motor and very dynamic and fast response times. IIRC the price was something like 8,000€ or something similar... :eek: But i also also saw cheaper ones. Could be a nice upgrade to your awesome rig.
