UltraForce GS-1 Tested by Indycar Drivers

> Doesn't it do the same thing as this? http://www.ivibe.com/default.htm No! Not at all. The GS-1 G-seat is completely different! There is no comparison. I have an ivibe TFS2 system. It's a very neat piece of hardware. For $275 it can't be beat. I'd suggest it to anyone because it does increase the immersion level. But... It's not in the same category as the GS-1. The seat pads on the GS-1 don't just vibrate, They don't "vibrate" at all really. They literally move in response to the calculated lateral, longitudinal, and vertical accelerations in a simulation. The GS-1 works off the same basic principle as a motion platform in terms of subjecting the driver's body to real force, and gives a comparable experience to a motion platform. But, where the motion platform relies on the force of gravity to create the "seat of the pants" feel for the driver, the GS-1 creates those sensations directly by moving the pads in the proper direction. So you really feel your body weight transfer in a corner. You feel the sensation that your body gets lighter in the seat as you go over the crest of a hill. You feel the force in your back when you step on the throttle. Some big names in Sim-Racing have already tried this seat, and are extremely impressed! More news on that to come. In addition to that, two professional Indycar drivers, including an Indy 500 Winner, have been impressed with the realism of the experience. You might have to try it yourself to become a believer, but I gaurantee that once you try it you will believe! Pat Dotson UltraForce Simulators Kokomo, Indiana 765-480-8907 |

JW, assuming it is all it's cracked up to be, at what price point do you start to get interested? I mean, does it have to be $300? Because something like the GS-1 will never cost that much. The parts list alone costs several times more than that. Pat Dotson UltraForce Simulators http://www.ultraforcesim.com |
