Simulator seat

Let's see, slip one of these onto my regular seat, add another pot to the gas and brake pedals, and maybe I could have a cheap seat shaker. Oughta feel nice if nothing else! http://members.aol.com/WillyB4120/seat.jpg Bill Berry

I did order one in 2001, but it took so long before delivery, so I canceled. Anyone tried it. I would love to see a review. Ivar

The same transducer sold for home theater use goes for about twice as much and doesn't come with an amp. Take the transducer out of the vest and mount it to something solid in the frame of your seat and you are in immersion-ville. Gerald

GTR2K2. Some are flying 'round there at 2.10's. I can't seem to click off better than 2.20's ... although I drank 3 cups of coffee and ran one 2.18! Bill Berry

View: Complete Thread (11 articles) Original Format Newsgroups: rec.autos.simulators Date: 1999/06/10 After seeing a couple of posts here about the Aura Interactor, I ordered an Aura Interactor for $20 from O'Shea Ltd. (http://www.oshealtd.com/interact.htm). It arrived today, so I hooked it up promptly and fired up SCGT -- and I was literally blown away! In some ways, it may be better than a force feedback wheel -- getting to feel the engine vibrations (and thumps from shifting and rumbles from the rumble strips) REALLY enhances the experience. I tried it out in SCGT first, and immediately found myself getting "into" the game even more than usual. Instead of just relying on sound for shift points, it felt much more like a real in-car experience. Viper Racing was slightly less impressive (it features a higher-pitched engine note that doesn't produce the same kind of rumble that the updated SCGT sound files create), but it was VERY immersive. GPL was an even bigger surprise -- the engine note is what I would consider somewhat high-pitched, but the sensations felt RIGHT for what I imagine a 1967-era Grand Prix car would feel like under power (it reminded me quite a bit of what it's like sitting in the seat of a high-strung, high-revving go-kart at speed). If you're a speed freak who loves sim racing and you've already invested big bucks in video cards, driving wheels, and other computer-related paraphenalia in the pursuit of performance and realism, then you owe it to yourself to spend a measly $20 on an Aura Interactor. You'll definitely feel like you're getting your money's worth, and the return on investment in terms of grins per dollar just can't be beat. The one downside is that the Aura Interactor is not a "silent Sam" kind of add-on -- I typically drive using headphones in order to keep from driving my wife crazy (my gaming computer is in our living room), and I actually didn't need the headphones while using the Aura Interactor (the sound wasn't as good as it would have been if I'd been using both the Aura Interactor and my headphones or speakers, but it was sufficient for me). Also, if the sound isn't a problem, you will need to pick up an 8mm stereo headphone splitter at Radio Shack (or Best Buys, or someplace similar), because the Interactor plugs into your sound card audio out line in place of your speakers, so you'll need a splitter to hook both up. The manual even explains this (with very good hook-up diagrams, too), but they didn't include a splitter because I think the intended market was primarily console games, and with a console, the sound still plays through your TV even with the Interactor connected to the console's AUX audio output, I believe. At any rate, the Aura Interactor is one gem that I recommend you treat yourself to -- it's MUCH cheaper than a Force Feedback wheel, and it REALLY adds to the experience. Now, though, I've got to hook up my Saitek R4 Force wheel so I can experience BOTH Force Feedback through the wheel AND the "rumble" in the seat of my pants! If you don't see any posts from me for the next few days, you know what I'll be doing . . . <G> -- John Bodin
