SimShaker Wings Cockpit Configuration

[=TU=Gh0st]

Thanks Andre.. this is what I have been missing all along!!

 

Design criteria

• Decoupled sections
• maximize resonance and minimize sound leakage

 

Prototype Cockpit configuration

 

Custom cockpit built out standard dimensional lumber  2x3 base on casters and 2x4 supporting the frame with an office chair in the middle.  Attaching the shakers to the back of the chair dampens vibrations.

 

4 bass shakers connected to two amps.

 

Dayton 2xBST1  Connected to front speakers output. (Green)

Powerful enough  to shake the entire frame but the goal is to feel guns firing and damage.

1 mounted to a piece of 3/4" MDF and the other one is on the side.. haven't decided how to mount it yet.

 

Dayton 2xTT25-8  Connected to rear speakers output. (Black)

Mounted on side 1/2" pine boards attached to the frame.  When these vibrate, they also shake the joystick.  My new joystick will be center mounted and will be coupled with the front shaker. 

  

 

I've started to customize the sample files to direct to the different zones. 6.zip

And lowered the frequency of the engine shake to a gentler rumble.

 

Happy Hunting
