Wow. Thanks for the link. Unfortunately it’s probably quicker to fly to the states. Lol. I live on the S coast.

Hi Guys,
Been a while since I have been on here. My work has really increased, so I have not had the time I would like to put into this project. I may be hiring a person or two in the future to help me out with my business, and also get this seat project off the ground. Off the ground, haha... I made a funny and did not realize it till I typed it.
Anyway, just an update on things. After a number of problems, I now have the seat running 100% as far as I can tell. One of the major things that I have working is the vibration system. It adds a whole level to the feel and experience. SimVibe does not support AFS2 yet, but I was able to get a good work around that works well. I am using 2 amplifiers, and a total of 4 transducers, one on each flap. I output raw sound out to these, with some setting changes and equalizer changes to boost the bass sounds. This works very well to create good vibrations for the engine sounds. You can feel the vibration of the motor/prop and Jet engines. You can also feel the roughness of the runway when touching down. Pretty awesome really.
I was thinking of adding tilt to the seat. By adding 4 more servos, one for each corner, and mount the seat on springs, I should be able to make the seat tilt left to right, and forward and back. This would be in addition to the heave and surge flaps.
Thoughts?

Sounds great. Keep at it. The more movement the better.

I will be working on it in the coming weeks. I am moving the seat and PC to a new location in the house today. Once it is there, I will do a video of it in action.
