GT7 and SimHub Tactile discussion

[Mr Latte]

@lancashire lad

I think those amps, some have mentioned, noticing delay when using their own internal soundcards. I know I have one sitting somewhere as well as the 100w variants.

If you find any delay, try using the Startech 7.1 card but connect to the amp with 3.5mm jack. That way all your effects mapping to channels in Simhub will be under 1 screen too instead of 2x amps operating/appearing as 2x soundcards.

Soooo, what IS the answer?

I dont have all the answers (shock) lol.
With the installation he has now the units are direct, maybe even too direct on the body as he leans into them.

Again not the same as a hard shell seat but Im sure hes enjoying it for what it is. May inspire others and will be better than HF8 or whatever it is seatpads.

Some isolation at the seat bottom might help but in that setup, its almost like having the units strapoed to your body...

Id be interested to know what Hz he uses most but think it will be quite narrow in the range used?

If hes happy, Im happy...

@Mr Latte Ive not noticed any delay as the amps are plugged directly into the laptop, using bluetooth yes there is a delay but I don't use that, next time I'm on I'll check the frequencys. I sometimes go months without going on GT7 or doing any racing. With PSVR2 the immersion is great on GT7 and the shakers add to that.

What you are trying to do, appears like talking yourself into getting effects being developed for the concept. With not having a suitable seat I do not see how you are going to be able to experience how the effects are being made to operate over various channels.

I appreciate your willingness to help but, Im not trying to expirment with how this approach can or cant work on folding chairs.

Completely understand.

What I am trying to do, however, has zero to do with effects being developed for the concept, and everything to do with adapting a foldable seat to recreate the intended experience of the “ideal” seat type.

You’re absolutely right - I don’t have a reference for the intended experience…so how about this - I buy an office chair and the rest of the hardware to appease your requirements, then I could offer feedback for effects (if/when you get back to it). At the same time, I would have a reference for the intended tactile experience, and could use it for side-by-side comparisons…thereby being able to adapt the Playseat Challenge for the effects, rather than the other way around. Then, if you are at all interested in my findings/experimenting, you are more than welcome to ask.

As evidenced above, I’m already 4 (not 2) transducers in. I’m typically a head-first kinda guy, so I’m sure the rest of the transducers will be along before I can afford them, lol.

Would that scenario be agreeable?
