Any concerns with the stability? Looking to use the Easyflex ones on my 8020 rig for isolation
@OSim4211 күн бұрын
I made mine quite narrow so it does move around a lot, mostly when my wheels gives me some force feedback quick responses... But then again, I like it that way. Making the base wider would make it a lot more stable.

i now have my rig on springs and its made such a difference to the experience so thank you so much. i had a long winded idea to do with springs and a diy arduino motor for motion. i wanted to know your thoughts on the idea. if you had more spacings in the springs and you incorporated a motor to pull one end of the rig down , even if its just 10mm to give the sensation of the front of the car lifting up as you accelerate? i use vr and probably to slightest movement will feel a lot move when your in vr. i was litarally thinking of a pully on a sub frame. do you think its worth a try as i already have half to parts i would need
@OSim422 ай бұрын
I thought about it, but then you need to find the motor, and then to link it somehow to your PC, and send inputs... That's way over my skill level. But I know it can be done.
@stedz20003 ай бұрын
I'm looking into this and I got a similar price from a different manufacturer. They show adjustment to adjust the springs pretty tight for maximum vibration containment. Their shop is called fixing smith. I'm early days I'm my research but it might be worth looking into tightening the springs. Nice setup btw

which aura bass shaker do you use? i have 4 sinutec bs 250 shakers with fosi audio zk1002d mini amplifier. Are they strong enough for the movement??
@OSim424 ай бұрын
I use two AuraSound AST-2B-4 Pro Bass Shaker Tactile Transducer for the back, and one Buttkicker for the front. I'd say that it's enough to make it shake up to my taste. I think you have enough shakers to do the job, but might lack a bit on the amplifier side. But as any DIY project, worst case, you buy another one to improve the thing. Good luck!

@OSim424 ай бұрын
Please remember that you have 4 springs to take the load of your rigs, so math will tell you that if your rig weight let's say 400lbs, and you about 200, that's 600 total, divided by 4, makes it 150 lbs on each springs. Give or take, since the weight distribution is not even, the back will be most of you and front mostly your feet and monitors (if connected to).

Good to know. I had and still have nothing against him. At the time of the event, I was surprised, because it really felt like he did make a "wheel hit", more so because he was already passing me, there were no point in doing it. So that's why if it happened to be such an intended hit, I would have reported, because it was really a useless case of hitting someone for no reason. Now like the review showed, it was a bad case of netcode, which makes a lot more sense.

@OSim428 ай бұрын
You can use 2 amplifiers, simply split your output into each amp. You could also use two different sound cards, by doing so, you would be able to set up your software for each of your corners (front left/right, rear left/right).
