Shack Posted March 24, 2020 Posted March 24, 2020 (edited) I’m in the market for a VR seat with HOTAS support architecture. I'm not Impressed with YawVR as it seems as if the sensory inputs in order to induce G loading is to introduce lateral motion instead of G force into the seat. I ran into this product from Geko Systems which seems good but doesn’t come with Hotas support. Any reviews or recommendations from the community ? Thanks !

Eaglewings Posted March 24, 2020 Posted March 24, 2020 Innovative product I must say. All of the video I saw about it were tested on a racing sim. It would be great to have review of the G force seat in a flight sim especially in fast fighter jet. 40 pounds of g-force is what it induce on the body, wonder how that compare to how many gs fast jet produce. Interestingly, I see DCS is supported on their list of flightsims.

Seems like a pretty interesting concept :thumbup: Intel i9 14900K @5.5 MHz, 64GB DDR 5 RAM at 6000 MHz, RTX4090, Pimax Crystal HMD, HOTAS: Winwing F16EX / Orion 2 Throttle base / Top Gun MIP / F-16 ICP setup.

pgh2atl Posted March 25, 2020 Posted March 25, 2020 Have a DOF Reality H6 myself that I use with DCS & its an absolute blast in VR. I used haptic feedback & a seat belt mod in order to create G Force loads as the platform moves. Check out their web page as they have everything from seat movers (2 axis) to 6DOF platforms. If YawVR is in your price range, something on there may be as well.

If YawVR is in your price range, something on there may be as well. Those look amazing. Can you elaborate on what you mean by a seat belt mod ? Also, how do you use Haptic feedback with this rig ? I'm looking to replicate G loads ( Force of Gravity ) loads - I think you may be doing this with your seat belt mod somehow ? thanks this was what I was looking for, Shack Edited March 28, 2020 by Shack Intel i9 14900K @5.5 MHz, 64GB DDR 5 RAM at 6000 MHz, RTX4090, Pimax Crystal HMD, HOTAS: Winwing F16EX / Orion 2 Throttle base / Top Gun MIP / F-16 ICP setup.
