SimRig - VLOG - Seat Surge Mistake!

[@dylanmosley3030]

It took a second watch for me to see clearly the mistake but now I’m understanding! I’ve made my fair share of mistakes and my rig is far,far simpler in dynamics than yours! Appreciate you don’t mind sharing your learning moments along with big accomplishments 👍

@dylanmosley3030 why are things creeking....O shyyyyt

@@LionSandwich lol. Sounds familiar!

Good thing it's pretty open, you could repair it on the fly, without stopping the race 😅

[@LionSandwich]

Would be faster then iracings repair times 😂

[@ryanchenoweth5673]

Wondering how that seat mover feels under acceleration and braking? 🤔

[@LionSandwich]

@ryanchenoweth5673 are you talking the horizontal surge or back of seat surge? Both amazing 😁

@@LionSandwichback of seat, am wondering what would be better between seat back angle like yours or it pushing you evenly from the back 🤔

@@ryanchenoweth5673 Well, yes, I see a lot of people who use leverage, some will realize it when their seat ends up in 2 parts... In a couple of months I'm going to make my double tensioner, with 2 Nema23, and it will be placed on the back of the seat, independent of the chassis, although, whoever developed it is doing it wrong, from my point of view... watch this video... video - Belt tensionner experiment, reworked design -

@ryanchenoweth5673 gotcha. I have the seat back running "in reverse" at a very slow filtered 3 hz movement. Meaning when throttle is hit the seat tilts back to physically move your body into the seat...but not too quickly to tell your inner ear something is wrong. That tilt back head motion is then canceled out by the surge rail moving the opposite direction. So my head stays in about the same place.

[@ryanchenoweth5673]

While driving my car I feel the back of the seat moving on an angle with the top moving back further and nothing on the bottom. With acceleration I feel the whole seat pushing into my back quite evenly. I’m torn as to which way I’m going to built it, especially running a left and right belt tensioner 🤔

What made you go from this thanos/sfx 100 design to the current surge traction loss design? In my mind its one or the other.

[@LionSandwich]

@JasonNosajasoNosaj when you accelerate in a real car your body is thrown back. By having a low hz response on the seat tilting back with the normal surge lurching forward, the impulse cue is freakin' sweet.
