Hi guys, I started a thread on xsimulator to document my G-Seat project and I figured I would share it here too.
Inspired by years of studying others building parts for sim rigs I am going to attempt to stand on the shoulders of giants and push the envelope a bit with my g seat build. Giants the likes of @Michal Burisin, @RowanH, @Tronicgr_6DOF aka Thanos, seattime, yobuddy, @FlyPT, @HoiHman, @saxxon66, and many more who I've learned from and drawn inspiration from. Thank you guys!
I have been dreaming of doing this for some time and only now due to the passion and faith of a new friend can I see this project come to reality. I will be building one for him, then one for me.
Only after building a dbox/sfx style peg leg rig did I realize just how important a g seat and g helmet are to the experience. One of my goals for this project is to confirm my suspicion that the chassis motion should come only as the “dessert” of a motion sim while the gseat/helmet are the “meat and potatoes”.
I hope that my build log here will educate and inspire the way so many before have done for me.
My current idea is to combine a seat mover and a gseat for both the torso and the seat pan separably. I am also thinking the seat pan should be on sliders for surge. I will be using industrial servo motors from china.
