Simshaker/Jetseat

[MrWell]

Buenas,

algunos ya conoceréis este sistema https://dreamsimteam.blogspot.com.es/p/simshaker.html 

Es un cojín vibrador con 6 vibradores que leen la memoria de varios simuladores, incluyendo BMS y DCS, y proporcionan adecuadas vibraciones dependiendo de lo que suceda: taxing, guns, landing... Ojo, NO funciona con el sonido como el Buttkicker, sino con lo que lee del simulador.

 

Pues bien, para los que no quieran comprarse el sistema completo sino que prefieran instalarlo en su propia silla o cojín, hable con su creador ruso, André y me ha proporcionado un enlace a precio reducido para toda la electronica del sistema. O sea, lleva todo menos el soporte/cojín.

Hay que ser un poco manitas para instalarlo y no vale hacerlo de cualquier forma. Si lo pones debajo de un colchón no lo vas a notar, a no ser que seas una princesita... Hay que ponerlo en una superficie semi-rígida y acolchada, para el adecuado feeling y comodidad. Por ejemplo, desmontar tu silla de ordenador y metérselo debajo del acolchado, o tener un cojín de asiento eyectable e instalarlo dentro, o encargarle al tapicero un cojín con las medidas reales y hacer lo mismo (mi caso).

 

OJO, NO ES EL SISTEMA ENTERO, SOLO LA ELECTRÓNICA. El que quiera el sistema entero, puedo comprarlo ya en su web, o reservar la edición limitada para simuladores aéreos que va a sacar en primavera.

 

Ya pondré capturas cuando lo reciba e instale.

Un saludo

Well estás en todo!!! Jajaja, yo lo compré hace un par de semanas y viene de camino, no sabía que iba a sacar una nueva versión solo para simuladores aéreos, ya os contare que tal... formará parte de mi pit 1.0 que espero tener listo en menos de un mes!

 

Un saludo.

Vaya, pues creo que mas o menos hace un par de semanas lo anunció. Lo único que varía (que se sepa) es que será en tela "militar" y con un hueco entre las piernas para los joystick de posición central, y que es mas caro: USD$200 mas envío

Ojalá se popularizaran estos sistemas. En España hay algunos que fabrican maravillas para el Sim Racing, ojalá pasase lo mismo con la aviación... verdad?

Buenas, está en inglés... ya lo traduciré... (cuando sea Comandante en el foro  )
 
Greetings!

First I want to thank André, Jetseat creator, to provide all electronics fully functional at a reduced price and ready to be installed.
https://andres.shop/home/25-jetseat-kw-908-parts.html


The Jetseat electronics came with all necessary to make it work and already wired:
- 8 engines/vibrators (for 6 zones)
- control PCB
- remote control for the system
- power adapter

I let remote control and power adapter disconnected for installation.
André also provide the coloring code for the cabling:

- black - zone 1
- orange - zone 2
- green - zone 3
- white - zone 4
- brown - zone 5
- yellow - zone 6



So I planned the desired place for the vibrators. For that I just took a look to original Jetseat. They are not directly under butt or under back pressure. This way you don't feel the hard vibrator box hurting you (in this picture back cushion is flipped, my bad).



I had though to buy some hard foam to put the engines on but André wrapped the package in some nice quality blue foam then I took advantage of that.



I didn't want the cushion to be deformed with a lot of foam nor to carve into the existing foam, therefore I cut exact space for the vibrators box in the blue foam.



Next step was to avoid the vibrators to move so I added adhesive velcro to them. Other solutions may work too but this was the simplest and cheapest.

My replica bottom cushion has a zipper in the back part but the other has it in the center, so I had to unpick the center bottom part of the back cushion to pass the vibrators through.

Next I put each foam with the vibrator into planned places (watch out to put vibrator cables between foams), letting remote and power wires between cushions. Also I put the plastic piece that holds the power and remote cables inside of the back cushion and I sewed it again (sorry no pics on that).
To protect the wires between cushions (black and orange ones) I used plastic wrapping:



All cables are invisible when the cushions are in place and I'll pass remote and control ones in the gap my ACES replica has where the bottom part and the back part are.

When I tried it worked very good but I could feel the vibrators when I moved. Then I decided to add a plastic layer between foams. This way the vibration is more distributed in each zone and I cannot feel the box of the vibrator anymore (sorry no pics on that).

In summary, it is an easy task. I think with real cushion is even easier because they have zippers in the back and bottom but I don't know if the velcro solution will work to hold them in place on that fabric/foam. Even though the real back cushion has an space between layers of actual back support and the part that goes against the ACES, that could be used to place the vibrators in.

Have fun!
