Title: Anybody taken a look at VR chairs
Post by: Dichotomy on May 12, 2022, 08:56:38 PM
Okay I'm getting greedy but I've denied myself toys for almost a decade. In order gaming rig, CH gear, (already got my Quest 2), but just screwing around I stumbled into gaming chairs like the yaw 2. Seems like it could be fun in game. Anybody have any experience with something like that?

Most of the cartoon pilots I know just use what is called a jet seat.

I have a GT Ultimate motion chair. It's fun for flying airplanes and it's awesome for helicopters and driving sims.
That's the one I've been looking at for down the road Eagler.

Do any of these device work with aces high? It tends not to be supported with a lot of things. I have a gs 5 seat dosnt work with aces high or dcs.

If you look at the Clipboard/Options/Controls/Force Feedback page you'll see where Hitech added Output Flight Data and a port for communicating with other software. My chair will follow joystick input through DX but I haven't tried working with the flight data yet.

Wish I new a way to make the gs 5 work. It's pretty awsome.

New question as I'm about to buy a new chair. How do you guys deal with the battery pack on the back hitting the head rest? I'm not keep on 'flying' for hours at a time with my head tilted a bit forward. Seems uncomfortable to me.

I don't have a battery pack but my headrest has a removeable cushion.
One thing you could do is put a cushion behind your back, that will move you forward to give you some headspace.

I was thinking either that or just getting a long charge cord just to keep it charged throughout the day and gaming.

I expect you'll need the data/power cord for flight sims and run Oculus on your PC using the Quest 2 as a headset.
I have this one. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B083JQR7TR/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I have something similar in my cart. Based on what I predict income vs expense to be I'm looking at an early November return to the game date. It was going to be earlier but I decided to go a bit bigger with the gaming rig. And, before anybody starts telling me to build my own, that's a solid nope from me. I have one in my cart already that fits everything I want it to do and the warranty has a very large appeal to me. It's just going to depend on if my side gig pays off like I project it should.

As long as it's a USB 3.1 Gen2 Type C it should work for data as well as power.
