GAMETRIX KW-908 JETSEAT

[Sn8ke_iis]

Andre,

 

I would like to order an 8 motor jetseat with the black flight sim customization but I did not see it as an option on your website. I would like to place an order for one of those please.

Sn8ke,

It will be available later in this year. I could notify you by email or PM, if you'd like that.

[Sn8ke_iis]

Yes, please notify me by PM and email when you can invoice me. I will PM my email as well. Thank you for the prompt response. Would it be possible to fit it specifically for my gaming chair? Playseat Airforce model in my signature. I can get you the dimensions and photos. Thank you

OK, I will notify you.

A lot of chairs, a lot of questions :)

I'm not sure I'd like to compare sizes for every chair you ask guys. Please do comparision with a file attached and make a decision if it really meets your requirements.

More customization is possible, but not now, when I have to put the orders on the queue, since that's pretty time consuming.

I will ask for a sketch if you really need that. Please see some examples attached.

Hi all ,

 

I am new to Jetseat.

Did any one make it work on the last open beta version?

 

I found that all work fine in the TEST of the jetseat tool and also in the SimShake for aviation but not work on the sim

Hey guys,

 

once I've upgraded my controls and sorted out their mounting, I was thinking about going VR and also getting a motion simulator. I'm currently very interested in both the GS-105 Geko and the Gametrix KW-908.

 

As far as I understand, they do different things. The Geko is a motion simulator, providing forces you have to resist which gives the impression of actually experiencing G-forces, while the KW-908 provides vibration feedback for different events in the game (engine operation, guns etc.). So from my point of view, it should be possible to combine both.

 

But I was wondering if they would be compatible? Or would the KW-908 lessen the Geko's forces since it's lying on top of it and thus lessen the overall force simulation? Has someone sucessfully combined both?

My JetSeat works fine.

 

Do you have selected the "Advanced Mode". You can find this in the JetSeat Control Panel.

CTRL + SHIFT + Click the gametrix logo top right.

Guys,

I've got a couple of finished JetSeat SE dark olive if somebody is interested in.

Andre, check PM

[*Rage*]

Just wanted to say that I've had my Jetseat SE for over a year now and not only is it a fantastic piece of kit but the service provided by Andre is top notch.

 

I recently had a minor issue develop and I received immediate support to resolve it.

 

:thumbup:

[=Andre=]

Still trying to serve the community in a right manner :)

Thank you, ///Rage!

You mean like this? :music_whistling:

Wyvrex, youre absolutely right in what you assume: The Geko and the JetSeat are a perfect match, the best of both worlds. The JetSeat SE does in no way soften nor deaden the Geko's movements (and if so, you could always increase the overal strength of forces).

 

But before you invest consider this: Especially the Geko Seat is rooted in Racing sims. While the JetSeat with Andre's Simshaker modules now gives excellent support for at least a small number of flight sims (DCS, Aerofly FS2, War Thunder and some I don't use), the Geko natively supports DCS and FS2, but the default profiles were, at least to me, not very satisfying. I tweaked them for several hours (you can tweak them extensively!), but still wasn't satsified.

 

Then I dropped DCS altogether because my rig (an Alienware with i7-6850K and GTX-1080ti) couldn't ever deliver framerates decent enough for VR. (It's not the GPU, core 0 of the CPU is at 100% while the other 11 cores idle, we're talking about known stuff...)

Anyway, with DCS gone there's only a single flight simulation left on my favourites' list that supports both, the Geko and the JetSeat: Aerofly FS2.

 

If only I was so much into Racing sims as I am into Flight sims! Both the Geko and JetSeat support about every racing game you can mention. And from my limited hours I spent there I can say that both do a very good job there! I also remember some very exciting and immersive rollercoaster rides in the Geko.

 

But, alas, I like the rumble of a Merlin or WASP and the cockpit feel of a Spitfire and acquired the Geko for that. But if I ever can make DCS run in my Vive PRO, I might go back and tweak the Geko's profile some more hours and I'm quite sure I'd get an excellent immersion...

 

Meanwhile I fly WT (90 fps with mostly high settings) and enjoy Andre's JetSeat SE. And plan a tweak for the SE, but more to come...

Just received my Jetseat and looking for a profile for the F18 ?

 

thanks

[tester]

F-18C in the dropping-out list to appear at once after the first start of DCS F-18C with the connected cape and the started SimShaker for Aviators program. After that it will become possible to adjust vibroeffects on each point under the taste. Also in the dropping-out list other planes or helicopters after their start will begin to appear in a game with connected cape and the started SimShaker for Aviators program

Love the seat and the immersion in brings especially while in VR !

The G force tickling saved me quite a few (ripped off) wings, but the undercarriage is also one of my favourite effects/events.:thumbup:

[Icebeat]

I received mine (JetSeat SE) and I am very happy with the effect and how it works in the game, it increases immersion in VR, but and this is huge BUT, it is not comfortable, actually it is a pain in the ass "literally". The padding is just a joke (10 mm maybe), the motors are too big and after a time it is painful. I am sorry for Andre because he did a great job with the custom cushion and his services are 5 stars.

 

Edit:

After I add memory foam to the butt's motors and repositioning them, the product is much more comfortable and painless after prolonged use.

 

I am using it in combination with 4 tactile transducer and the experience is awesome.

Mmhh, never thought of that. I often sit nonstop on the JS SE for an hour or even more. A single WT SB sortie may take 60 min... Maybe I'm a lucky guy, like with the VR goggles.

Do you feel the pain in the back or bottom? Does the SE lay on a hard seat?

Both seats I use, the Geko and the Spitsim are rather soft, the Spitsim even softer. Thus with my weight I probably push the vib motors into the seat underneath.

 

Have you tried to lay another thin cushion upon or (maybe better) underneath the SE?

If that helps you can open the SE by its zipper and put some isolation right in the cushion...

Icebeat,

Thank you for the feedback. I'm awfully sorry that you are not satisfied with the product.

I'd really like to understand why it didn't work well for you and solve the issue.

Could you please send me some pictures of your setup?

[Icebeat]

Hi Andre, I have one Aeron Chair I am thinking in add memory foam inside the cushion, any recommendation?

[=Andre=]

Hi Icebeat,

Thank you. It looks fantastic. Not a common case.

First of all I would say that motors placement inside JetSeat SE is adjustable. One can carefully unglue the shell and glue it on a better place. May be you could move the motors a bit to make it more comfortable.

I'm not sure putting additional foam inside the cover is a good idea, since the cover is sewed tight. I would rather put additional foam beneath the seat.

 

Can you please show me on a picture which particular motor(s) cause the pain? May be I could make some additional black pad for you.

[Icebeat]

Unfortunately, I already tried to move one of the motors and I broke the foam glued to it, can I suggest velcro instead of glue for the next time?

It is a great idea the use of the extra pad for the motors. I will try with this

 

Thanks.

[=Andre=]

Broken foam can be glued back. I will think of using velcro more wide, thank you.

Those gel disks look promising.

 

I would really like to understand which motors are painful. All 4 bottom motors?

 

Edit: I usually use German Pattex (Moment in some markers) glue to fix the foam.

Will the JetSeat SE have any problems fitting the Recaro style seat in the Obutto pit? If not I'll order one this weekend.
