  The display device 2 faces the vehicle body 30 and is disposed on the left and right sides of the display screen 22 disposed at a position facing the height position of the line of sight of a player (not shown) seated on a seat 42 described later. The casing 21 is provided with a pair of sound output portions 23 provided so as to be directed toward the vehicle body 30.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the vehicle body 30 included in the vehicle body device 3 is swingably supported by a pair of support frames 32 provided side by side on a base 31. The vehicle body 30 includes a ride unit 4 including a seat 42 on which a player sits, and an operation unit 5 configured to rotatably support a handle 52 on a rotation shaft 51 at a front end portion of the ride unit 4. Yes.

At one end of the handle 52, a moving body 92 in the virtual space (simulating a motorcycle in the present embodiment; see FIGS. 8 to 11) is predetermined to accelerate the moving speed when moving in the virtual space. A throttle grip 53 that is configured to be rotatable at an angle and rotated by a player, and a brake 54 that is gripped to reduce the moving speed when moving in the virtual space are provided.

Moreover, each functional block should just exist in the control apparatus 7 as a function, function blocks may be integrated, and each component inside a function block may be isolate | separated as another block.

  Next, an outline of the game process executed by the control device 7 under the control of the program recorded in the storage medium 83 will be described.

  In the game according to the present embodiment (for example, a game in which a moving body moves on a predetermined course in a virtual space such as a racing game and competes with other moving bodies for ranking), a rotation angle sensor 55 provided in the vehicle body 30 is used. Based on the input values from sensors and switches such as the swing angle sensor 66, the control device 7 moves the moving body 92 (in this embodiment, a moving body simulating a motorcycle, see FIGS. 8 to 11) in the virtual space. The vehicle is caused to travel (movement is controlled), and an image of the traveling state of the moving body 92 seen from the virtual camera (virtual viewpoint) set in the virtual space is displayed on the display screen 22. Further, based on the input value from the rotation angle sensor 55 and the traveling state of the moving body 92, the control device 7 drives and controls the motor 61 with the motor control means 71 to swing the vehicle body 30. In addition, the control device 7 turns on and off the illumination unit 73 based on input values from sensors and switches.

  8-11 is a figure which shows the driving | running | working state of the mobile body 92 displayed on the display screen 22 during execution of a game process.

  If the throttle grip 53 (see FIG. 2) of the handle 52 is operated in the state shown in FIG. 8 in which the moving body 92 is stopped (stopped) on the course 91 set in the virtual space, the moving body 92 is operated. As shown in FIG. 9, the moving body 92 travels (moves) on the course 91 set in the virtual space.

While the moving body 92 is traveling (when the moving body 92 is moving on the course 91), the input value detected by the rotation angle sensor 55 by the player's operation of the handle 52 and the vehicle body 30 (see FIG. 2). ), When at least one of the input values detected by the swing angle sensor 66 is generated (detected by the control device 7), as shown in FIG. In accordance with the input value detected by the rotation angle sensor 55 by the operation or the input value detected by the rocking angle sensor 66 due to the rocking of the vehicle body 30, the moving direction of the moving body 92 is tilted to the moving direction according to the input value. Control as follows. Further, control is performed so as to generate an image in which the handle 93 of the moving body 92 is rotated according to the value of the input value obtained by operating the handle 52. That is, in each state shown in FIGS. 8 to 11, the swing angle of the vehicle body 30 and the rotation angle of the handle 52 (see FIG. 5) are the swing angle of the moving body 92 and the rotation of the handle 93 of the moving body 92. It is controlled to be the same as the corner. Even when the moving body 92 is stopped, the handle 52 can be operated as shown in FIG.

  When specifying the traveling direction of the moving body 92 in the virtual space, the control device 7 increases the traveling speed of the moving body 92 moving on the course 91 in the virtual space from the rotation angle sensor 55. The input value acceptance rate U1 is set low, and the input value acceptance rate U2 from the swing angle sensor 66 is set high. Here, the acceptance rates U <b> 1 and U <b> 2 are ratios at which the input values detected by the rotation angle sensor 55 and the swing angle sensor 66 are received during the movement control of the moving body 92. That is, it is represented by the ratio of the value used when specifying the direction of movement control of the moving body 92 to the input value detected by each of the sensors 55 and 66. The acceptance rate U1 and the acceptance rate U2 are determined so that the sum of both is kept constant. Further, as the traveling speed of the moving body 92 increases, the decrease rate of the acceptance rate U1 and the increase rate of the acceptance rate U2 are increased.

Specifically, the acceptance rate U1 is specified by executing the following (Equation 1), and the acceptance rate U2 is specified so that the sum of the acceptance rate U1 is “1”. Then, the rotation angle of the handle 52 is obtained by multiplying the input values from the rotation angle sensor 55 and the swing angle sensor 66 by the specified acceptance rates U1 and U2 as detected values of the rotation angle and swing angle. The swing angle of the vehicle body 30 is specified, and the traveling direction of the moving body 92 is specified.
U1 = C * (1−V1 / Vmax) ² + (1−C) (Formula 1)
Here, V1: moving speed of the moving body 92, Vmax: maximum moving speed of the moving body 92, and C: constant. In the present embodiment, U1 is specified as C = 0.2.

  Further, when the control device 7 specifies the output value of the motor 61 for swinging the vehicle body 30, the rotation angle increases as the traveling speed of the moving body 92 that moves on the course 91 in the virtual space increases. The acceptance rate U3 of the input value from the sensor 55 is set high. Here, the acceptance rate U3 refers to a ratio of accepting the input value from the rotation angle sensor 55 by the swing control of the vehicle body 30. For specifying the output value of the motor 61 with respect to the input value from the rotation angle sensor 55. It is expressed as a ratio of values used as detection values in the rotation angle sensor 55. The increase rate of the acceptance rate U3 increases as the traveling speed of the moving body 92 increases.

Specifically, the acceptance rate U3 is specified by executing the following (Equation 2), and the value obtained by multiplying the input value from the rotation angle sensor 55 by the specified acceptance rate U3 is rotated. The rotation angle of the handle 52 is specified as the detected angle value, and the output value of the motor 61 for swinging the vehicle body 30 is specified.
U3 = 1− (1− (V1 / Vmax) ² ) (Formula 2)

  Next, based on the input values from the sensors such as the rotation angle sensor 55 and the swing angle sensor 66 and the switches, the moving body 92 travels in the virtual space, and the vehicle body 30 swings according to the travel of the moving body 92. In order to make this happen, the processing executed by the control device 7 will be described.

  First, an input value receiving process for receiving a player's operation on the vehicle body 30 will be described. FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing an outline of the input value receiving process. In this input value receiving process, the CPU 81 specifies the moving speed of the moving body 92 that moves on the course 91 in the virtual space calculated based on input values from a throttle sensor (not shown) and a brake sensor (not shown). Next, an input value to the rotation angle sensor 55 associated with the handle operation is specified (S2). In S <b> 2, the rotation angle of the handle 52 may be specified based on an input value from the rotation angle sensor 55.

  In S1, the acceleration / deceleration of the moving body 92 moving on the course 91 in the virtual space is calculated based on the input values from the throttle sensor (not shown) and the brake sensor (not shown) provided in the handle 52. The moving speed is updated based on the specified acceleration / deceleration.

  Next, the CPU 81 specifies an input value to the swing angle sensor 66 accompanying the swing of the vehicle body 30 (S3), and subsequently executes the calculation of (Equation 1) based on the moving speed specified in S1. The acceptance rates U1 and U2 of the specified values in S2 and S3 are determined (S4). In S3, the swing angle of the vehicle body 30 may be specified based on the input value from the swing angle sensor 66.

  The acceptance rates U1 and U2 determined in S4 and the specific values in S1 to S3 are also used for image display on the GPU 87. Specifically, the moving direction of the moving body 92 that moves on the course 91 in the virtual space based on the specific values in S2 and S3 and the acceptance rate determined in S4 is determined based on the specific values in S2. The rotation angle is used for drawing the moving body 92 that moves on the course 91 in the virtual space by the GPU 87 together with the moving speed specified in S1 by calculating the inclination of the moving body 92 based on the specific value in S3.

  Next, output value generation processing for generating an output value of the motor 61 that swings the vehicle body 30 will be described. FIG. 13 is a flowchart illustrating an outline of the output value generation process. In this output value generation process, the CPU 81 determines whether or not the game is in a specific state (S11).

Here, the specific state refers to, for example, a state in which the moving body 92 moving on the course 91 in the virtual space is traveling in a wheelie with the front wheel floating from the ground, and shifts depending on the operation state of the operation unit 5. Alternatively, when it is determined that a certain condition has occurred during the execution of the game, a shift occurs in the direction and the traveling direction of the moving body 92 that moves on the course 91 in the virtual space, and the slip state of the tire regardless of the front wheel or the rear wheel is determined. The system shifts to a state where drift traveling is performed while traveling.

If the determination in S11 is “No”, the CPU 81 specifies the moving speed of the moving body 92 and the input value to the rotation angle sensor 55 as in S1 and S2 of the input value receiving process (S12). Next, the CPU 81 determines whether or not the input value specified in S12 is within a range of play values that do not accept the operation of the handle 52 (S13).

  If the determination in S13 is “YES”, the CPU 81 changes the rotation angle of the handle 52 to “0” (S14). If the determination in S13 is “No”, or after the processing in S14, the CPU 81 performs the calculation of (Equation 2) based on the moving speed specified in S12, specifies the acceptance rate U3, and determines the vehicle body 30. The output value of the motor 61 for tilting is determined (S15).

  Next, the CPU 81 determines whether or not the moving body 92 is a specific moving body (S16). If this determination is “YES”, the output value specified in S15 is corrected (S17). In the present embodiment, the moving body 92 can be simulated by the player selecting one motorcycle from a plurality of types of motorcycles. The specific moving body 92 here is, for example, a normal one in the real world. It is a moving body that imitates a sidecar or the like that produces a behavior different from that of a motorcycle.

In S <b> 17, the CPU 81 corrects the output value of the motor 61 for tilting the vehicle body 30 to a specific value that matches the specific moving body. If the determination in S11 is “YES”, the CPU 81 generates an output value of the motor 61 in accordance with the specific state (S18). If the determination in S16 is “No”, or after the processing in S17 or S18, the CPU 81 controls the motor 61 based on the specified output value of the motor 61 (S19).

  According to the present embodiment, the higher the moving speed of the moving body 92, the lower the acceptance rate U1 of the detected value of the rotation angle by the rotation angle sensor 55, and the detection of the swing angle by the swing angle sensor 66. Since the value acceptance rate U2 is determined to be high, as the moving speed of the moving body 92 increases, the turning operation of the handle 52 is less likely to be reflected in the traveling direction of the moving body 92, and the swing angle of the vehicle body 30 is increased. It becomes easy to be reflected. In an actual motorcycle, as the traveling speed increases, the amount of operation of the steering wheel is less likely to be reflected in the traveling direction of the vehicle body, and the amount of tilt of the vehicle body is more easily reflected. For this reason, by reflecting the operation on the handle 52 and the vehicle body 30 in the traveling of the moving body 92 in this way, the feeling that the player receives when operating the moving body 92 becomes the feeling of operating an actual motorcycle. You can get closer.

  Further, since the acceptance rate U3 of the detected value of the rotation angle by the rotation angle sensor 55 is set higher as the moving speed of the moving body 92 becomes faster, the vehicle body 30 becomes higher as the moving speed of the moving body 92 becomes higher. The operation of the handle 52 is easily reflected in the swing angle. In an actual motorcycle, as the traveling speed increases, it is necessary to increase the amount of operation of the handle and tilt the vehicle body greatly. Therefore, the operation of the handle 52 is reflected in the swing of the vehicle body 30 in this way. Thus, it is possible to bring the player's feeling when operating the vehicle body 30 closer to that of operating an actual motorcycle.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, the sum of the acceptance rate U1 of the detection value of the rotation angle by the rotation angle sensor 55 and the acceptance rate U2 of the detection value of the swing angle U2 by the swing angle sensor 66 is constant. Since the acceptance rates U1 and U2 are determined so that the input values from the rotation angle sensor 55 and the swing angle sensor 66 do not exceed the predetermined values, both input values are It can be handled as if it were input from one input device.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, as the moving speed of the moving body 92 increases, the rate of decrease in the acceptance rate U1 of the detected value of the rotation angle by the rotation angle sensor 55 and the rate at the swing angle sensor 66 increase. Since the rate of increase in the acceptance rate U2 of the detected value of the swing angle increases, the amount of change in the turning operation of the handle 52 is less likely to be reflected in the traveling direction of the moving body 92 as the moving speed of the moving body 92 increases. Thus, the change amount of the swing angle of the vehicle body 30 is easily reflected. In an actual motorcycle, as the travel speed increases, the change in the operation amount of the handle 52 is less likely to be reflected in the travel direction of the moving body 92, and the change in the swing amount of the vehicle body 30 is more easily reflected. In addition, by reflecting the operation on the vehicle body 30 in the travel of the moving body 92 in this way, the feeling that the player receives when operating the vehicle body 30 can be made closer to the feeling of operating the actual motorcycle.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, as the moving speed of the moving body 92 increases, the rate of increase in the acceptance rate U3 of the detected value of the rotation angle by the rotation angle sensor 55 increases. As the moving speed increases, the amount of change in the swing angle of the vehicle body 30 is less likely to be reflected. In an actual motorcycle, as the traveling speed increases, the amount of change in the handle operation is less likely to be reflected in the swing amount of the vehicle body. Therefore, the operation on the handle 52 is thus reflected in the swing of the vehicle body 30. The feeling that the player receives when operating the vehicle body 30 can be made closer to the feeling that the actual motorcycle is being operated.

  In the above-described embodiment, the case where the acceptance rates U1 and U2 are specified by performing the calculation of (Equation 1) has been described. However, the rotation angle of the rotation angle sensor 55 increases as the moving speed of the moving body 92 increases. If the acceptance rate U1 of the detected value is set low and the acceptance rate U2 of the detected value of the swing angle by the swing angle sensor 66 is set high, respectively, the specifying method of the receive rates U1 and U2 is arbitrary. For example, it is not always necessary to determine the acceptance rate U1 and the acceptance rate U2 such that the sum of the acceptance rate U1 and the acceptance rate U2 is kept constant.

  Further, the rate of decrease in the acceptance rate U1 and the rate of increase in the acceptance rate U2 with the increase in the moving speed of the moving body 92 are also arbitrary. Further, the degree of increase in the increase rate of the acceptance rate U3 of the detected value of the rotation angle in the rotation angle sensor 55 with the increase in the moving speed of the moving body 92 is also arbitrary. In the above embodiment, the case where the constant C in (Expression 1) is 0.2 has been described. However, the value of the constant C is not limited to 0.2, and depends on the game content and the type of the moving body 92. Can be changed as appropriate.

  In the above embodiment, the case has been described where U2 is specified so that the sum of the acceptance rate U1 is “1” after the acceptance rate U1 is calculated. However, the acceptance rate U2 performs the same calculation as the acceptance rate U1. It may be calculated by executing. Further, after calculating the acceptance rate U2, U1 may be specified such that the sum of the acceptance rate U2 and the acceptance rate U2 is “1”.

  Further, the configuration for swinging the vehicle body 30 with respect to the support frame 32 is not limited to the configuration in the above embodiment. For example, the support structure of the rear piece of the frame 41 using the support shaft 65 may be the same as the support structure using the support shaft 64, and the rotational force of the motor 61 may be input to the support shafts 64 and 65. Moreover, it is good also as a structure which is not equipped with the speed reducer 63. FIG.
