GAMETRIX KW-908 JETSEAT

[Baldrick33]

So if the seat works in DCS without the software, is it still adjustable in DCS or ? and if it works in DCS do I even need the software to use it in Asseto Corsa, and can the effects be adjusted there also ? Is the Simshaker software only a factor if I wanted to add bass shakers etc ? or does the Simshaker software give more adjustment to the seat in games which support it ?

DCS requires the free software Simshaker for Aviators available from Andre’s website. There is an optional additional paid module for bass shakers.

 

Assetto Corsa requires the paid for Simshaker Wheels also available from Andre’s website.

 

All Simshaker products provide full adjustability for the games they support.

or does the Simshaker software give more adjustment to the seat in games which support it ?

 

I'm not sure we still can find such a game. It used to be World of Tanks and War Thunder, but AFAIK that native JetSeat support in those titles has got degradated.

I've just ordered a jet seat from your shop. Payed via paypal, DHL for delivery. Is there a tracking number? Thanks.

 

P.S. no software atm since my main use is dcs and simshaker for aviators is free, right?

I'll check later if I need simshaker wings too for il-2 and x-p11.

 

Thanks.

[=Andre=]

Yes, I will provide the tracking number when it's shipped.

SimShaker for Aviators by f4l0 is free to use.

Thank you for the order!

Stupid question... there are three different seats on Andre’s website. Which one did everyone buy? I have a secret lab titan gaming chair.

[RedX]

Just pulled the trigger on one of the seats at Andre's. As an engineer, I like the fact that the measures and even tolerances are given :thumbup:.

 

Correct me if I'm wrong: it seems that the internals and electronics are identical for all three versions of the seatpad.

Thanks to a spacious "controller's chair" and no need for a joystick cut-out, my choice was the regular model.

 

DHL reported shipment pick-up within <12h of placing the order. I'm impressed! :notworthy:

I searched through the forum but couldn’t find an exact answer to my question.

Does the Jetseat vibrate when firing the Gau-8 in the A10CII?

I have the latest Simshaker for Aviatiors installed and I see the option in the menu. But even increasing vibration strength to 100 doesn’t give me anything when firing the gun.

Hi Andre,

 

I'm interested in purchasing your Jetpad. Are you currently shipping to the USA? If so do you know what the shipping time is for that? I would like to purchase this as a Christmas gift and I'm curious how early I need to order for it to arrive by December 25th. Thanks!!

[JSpidey]

Does anyone have a good F/A-18C simshaker profile for the current SSA version? Seen a couple on YouTube but it wasn't up to date as some effects were missing.

[=Andre=]

Guys, I'm sorry for the offtop. My older brother in Russia can't buy the life-saving drug Aggrenox (please see attached pic). This drug is manufactured in Germany. If someone can help me with purchasing this drug (or its Dipyridamole based analogs) and shipping it to Russia, please send me a personal message.

Hi ZBoT,

Yes, I'm shipping to the USA. Via DHL Express it takes 2 - 5 business days worldwide. Some distant locations may take a bit longer.

I think you'd better order it in advance, since around Christmas delivery time may become longer.

Hi everyone,

 

I originally posted this in [Official] SimShaker for Aviators, but me thinks this forum might be the one for my snag below, basically PC sound output works and things vibrate and also under test but no communication with DCS. i.e. it doesn't show the aircraft i'm running, tried loads of different ones. Seems to be a comms problem between DCS and Aviators software, anyone have any idea. Apologies if this is the wrong forum. I deleted this similar question earlier thought it might be the wrong place to post. (Ah so many insecurities) I dont want to upset anyone.

 

My Jetseat arrived Last Friday 7^th Nov 2020, which I am using for DCS. I am having a problem with the Jetseat set up. Whilst the seat connects via the USB it will not operate in that mode. I have to connect the 3.5mm audio jacks and also switch the mode button on the controller to show red which I believe to be the Sound intercept mode. I followed the instructions below

Assembly and Installation Instructions

Attach the JetSeat to a chair using straps

Connect the JetSeat control unit by means of DIN connectors

Connect the AC/DC power adapter to the JetSeat and AC network

Set JetSeat On/Off switch to ON

Download and install Gametrix JetSeat Control Panel and Massage applications

Connect JetSeat USB connector into a PC USB port.

Sound Intercept mode

You can use JetSeat in its Sound Intercept mode with any game (not only PC game but actually at any device with 3.5 mm sound output).

Plug JetSeat's 3.5 mm male jack into your device sound output (as if it was a Buttkicker amplifier),

plug a headset or speakers into JetSeat's 3.5 mm female jack,

press and hold MODE button at JetSeat's control unit for 3 seconds. LED color changes. Wait about 10 seconds for changes to take effect. That's it.

Further steps: adjust vibration level by rotating a big black dial at the control unit or via JetSeat Control Panel App.

Disappointingly I am also unable to detect any DCS aircraft in the Simshaker application, download is the beta version 2.1.4.0 (I had earlier tried the stable version with the same result) I just see the generic Jet Engine, Helicopter and Piston options.

I also have installed NET Framework 4.8

I have an email trail with Andre but no progress so far.

Additionally the kit passes the test modes with all sensors vibrating.

I’m hoping you smart guys/gals out there might be able to help me find a solution.

 

 

Found my Solution:

 

Hi All

 

I have now sorted my snags with SimShaker for Aviators. In the scripts folder of saved games for my version of DCS Beta is an export lua, this contained a couple of lines for my Streamdeck along with a couple of lines from SSA. A little bit of shuffling around with the strings trying to find an order that would enable both systems to work proved fruitful.

 

Disconnecting the 3.5mm audio plugs from the Jetpad now also gave me full control via the USB connector in the SSA program, no longer needing the Sound Intercept mode

 

The second problem was with with .NET framework producing errors, this was solved by basically carring out a scan check via the command line then un checking .NET framework in Windows features, restarting the computer and re- installing it. I did a re boot to make sure and it seemed to behave.

 

The gametrix controller now shows a satisfactory green light.

 

Hopefully this helps anyone else out there. Many thanks to the generous people out there who chipped in to help with the initial snags I was having.

 

Regards

Is Jetseat/Simshaker currently supporting the new A-10C II? I am getting the following error (see screenshot) when starting the A-10C II and no activity from the Jetseat.

Which version do you use?

[bainsy]

Thanks for your reply.

 

Current versions:

SimShaker for Aviators - Version 1.3.13.0

Seat Handler 1.0.0.10

[=Andre=]

Please download and install SimShaker for Aviators actual version from simshaker.com website.

[bainsy]

Done! Thanks for your help. I didn't even realize there was a new version.

[Der SchattenJager]

I just want to give a shout out to Andre for his excellent customer service and speedy delivery. My JetSeat shipped within a couple days of ordering, and I received it after a little over a month here in the US. I got the software activated and the pad set up, and everything seems to be in order in the few minutes I've spent with it so far!

[Der SchattenJager]

Does anybody know if it's possible to connect the JetSeat in sound mode to the sub output on an AVR with an RCA to 1/8" adapter? I'd like to be able to continue using my speakers for normal frequencies and the JetSeat for LFE with games that don't support USB sound data.

[Phantom_Mark]

Thanks to Andre,

My JetSeat arrived today and it is setup and working nicely in DCS etc.  Quick point to note for other potential buyers or new users with problems, AVG picked up the EXE and blocked it from writing to the the config files, once I sourced and tracked that down the seat and software both worked as they should.

Nice bit of kit, will spend some time setting it up now to my liking.

[DutchCoolHand]

Quick question, I am about to order one but I am trying to figure out which one. I just got a PlaySeat Evolution and the seating area is about 14" wide. The FSE pad is 18" wide, The Race is 15.4" but seems to be customer order and the SiMsaker is alsio15.4" I am worrried that the FSE is too wide. Which ones did you guys who recently purchased get?

[DutchCoolHand]

I just tried to order and pay with PayPal and got a message that the order can’t be completed due to a government regulation. Any idea what that is?

Unfortunately, business-to-business payments with PayPal are restricted in my country. In such a case please try to pay from some other private account or use another payment option (via bank cards).
