Cowboy10uk Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 My wonderful wife has sorted it and it's now sat at home waiting for me to get home. The charge was Import VAT apparently as the item was above £35, sadly even if it's a gift, if it's above that threshold then you have to pay VAT. £19 for VAT, £8 post office handling charge. Sadly they changed the threshold in April, you can only get gifts worth upto £35 now before getting hit with VAT, bless this government. That said, it's still gonna be worth it, I can't wait, although don't forget to purchase an plug adaptor, so you can use it. :) Cowboy10uk [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Fighter pilots make movies, Attack pilots make history, Helicopter pilots make heros. :pilotfly: Corsair 570x Crystal Case, Intel 8700K O/clocked to 4.8ghz, 32GB Vengeance RGB Pro DDR4 3200 MHZ Ram, 2 x 1TB M2 drives, 2 x 4TB Hard Drives, Nvidia EVGA GTX 1080ti FTW, Maximus x Hero MB, H150i Cooler, 6 x Corsair LL120 RGB Fans And a bloody awful Pilot :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief1942 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Cowboy10UK, You're going to enjoy the seat. Adds a whole new dimension to DCS.

Cowboy10uk Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Not your fault mate, I just have the type of luck that means customs always manages to grab me. Gits. On a happier note, the operation I was on down south was cancelled early, which meant a early stack and a trip home a lot sooner than I thought. Got back early hrs this morning, but as my beautiful baby girl has decided to get everyone up early, I've taken the opportunity to set the seat up. My wife luckily managed to pay the extra charges and collect for me yesterday. Wow, it really is plug in and play. 5 mins to setup, jumped straight into free flight in the UH1 and Bingo. Damn this thing is great, love the different feeling of vibration dependant on the rotor speed, really really adds up to a new dimension, I then very very quickly tried the A10 flight, trying out dropping bombs, flaps, gear, firing the Gun, missiles etc. very very impressed, and best of all my wife never made a comment as she didn't hear it, such a change from the Buttkicker. Ok, granted I've only had 5 mins to play, but DAMN I'm impressed, what a stunning job you have done Andre. Only real issue I can see it creating, is when I fly other sims like Rise of Flight, and sadly it won't be working. God I will miss it.

Cowboy10uk Pictures, pictures! ;) Congrats with the seat. :) And actually it _does_ work to some extent in RoF and elsewhere: The seat has a sound mode with a pass-through plug. In this mode it reacts to the sounds in the game, and it works quite well. :) System specs: Gigabyte Aorus Master, i7 9700K@std, GTX 1080TI OC, 32 GB 3000 MHz RAM, NVMe M.2 SSD, Oculus Quest VR (2x1600x1440) Warthog HOTAS w/150mm extension, Slaw pedals, Gametrix Jetseat, TrackIR for monitor use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sporg Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 About import VAT, I was prepared for this when I got my seat, but I was lucky and it went straight through. Most countries have some minimum amount, above which one has to pay import tax. So, if one orders a seat, at least expect the possibility of having to pay some tax of it.

drcarnage52 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Hi guys Somehow I only just stumbled across this thread im surprised I missed it. Anyway I'm now considering getting a jetseat kw-908 but having (very) briefly looked though the thread I cant seem to find an approximate price. could someone clarify this for me? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
=Andre= Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Hi drcarnage52, the current price of the device itself you can see at Gametrix web-site. http://shop.gametrix.ru/id/vibronakidka-gametrix-kw-908-s-bonusom-dlya-world-of-tanks-203.html If you'd like me to post the device to you, my price would be higher, including shipping, money transfer fee and my service. My price is not fixed and depends on circumstances, so I've stopped claiming it here. I will send it to you by PM, if you don't mind.

geert Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Jetseat vs shaker Some people here have a jetseat AND a buttkicker/shaker. I'm wondering wether both systems compliment each other or make the other one obsolete. Any other opinions/reviews/comments of people who have tried both systems? Thanks, Geert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MA_Goblin Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 At the moment You cannot use them together, asked Andre that some days ago ;) But perhaps in the future, if Andre can make it happen it most likely will.

In this mode it reacts to the sounds in the game, and it works quite well. :) Not sure that will work on my setup, as I NEED the extra sound info to come through the second sound card the same way Andre has done for DCS, due to the fact I use An optical cable into a control box for my headphones. Sadly I don't connect using standard audio plugs for my sound. This is the same issue why I couldn't use my Buttkicker on my main card. :( BUT if I ever change my headset then game on. :) Cowboy10uk [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Fighter pilots make movies, Attack pilots make history, Helicopter pilots make heros. :pilotfly: Corsair 570x Crystal Case, Intel 8700K O/clocked to 4.8ghz, 32GB Vengeance RGB Pro DDR4 3200 MHZ Ram, 2 x 1TB M2 drives, 2 x 4TB Hard Drives, Nvidia EVGA GTX 1080ti FTW, Maximus x Hero MB, H150i Cooler, 6 x Corsair LL120 RGB Fans And a bloody awful Pilot :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With an adapter? Or is it a special output you get from it? (Now you got me curious on your headset. ;) ) Btw, if you just have a useful sound output from your second card, maybe you can use that. The seat just measure the sound, otherwise it is a straight pass-through of the sound.

Lobinjaevel Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 I picked up my 908 seat a week ago and now I don't want to fly without it! It adds just enough that it's not annoying, but still gives you feedback where you want it. It's great for me that live in a apartment where a Buttkicker just wouldn't work. Very pleased with it and also great support from Andrey. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I notice it more if the seat for some reason is not working. ;) Mind you, I'm wearing a headset, which dampens outside noise a little.
