G force seat

[Boby Kim]

Someone tell me weher i can buy a G-force seat that gives me the real G-forces?

 

[BenKay]

Not unless that seat's strapped in a car no. There are some options for simulated g-forces, best known is probably the SimXperience GS-5 seat.

Alternatively there are some other methods using air bladders and so on.

I do use the gecko gs105. It;s also an option. But for sure you cannot get the real forces. Obviously that's in a scale.

I have the geckoseat as well. Really happy with it and rocksolid reliability after daily use for 5 years.

Well I did have to source new sliders, (un)fortunately they are drawer sliders. Easy and cheap to find, but obviously not that long lasting.
Also last week an l6203 mosfet blew up, but I've ordered a new one and should be up and running soon.
Maybe i put to much stress on the chair, because I'm 110kgs, and that's to much mass for it.
I like so much the feel, but I do think they could have used better quality parts for the price.

What's the intensity level your seat is on
I have the lightest one, only one +

Every seat gives you realistic G force. 1 g downwards.

I do have it at normal, with +++ intensity.

 

[Tim Meuris]

ah, that will probably make a lot of the difference
