Real flying or racing is not a one-sense experience. SimuSeat adds FEELING to the VISUAL movement the pilot is seeing.
With the SimuSeat enhancement, your customer will feel banks, climbs, turns, accelerations, decelerations, or turbulence, whatever, in the SEAT-OF-THE-PANTS.
In perfect synchronization.
And that’s where SimuSeat adds realism: to the Seat-of-The-Pants. Your customer simply places the cushioned platform on the chair used for sim missions, sits down, and the SimuSeat responds to whatever the simulation software is doing.
It rises, twists, and tilts, and jerks, if necessary, in perfect synch with the simulation. If the plane banks left, it raises the right side, if the plane climbs, the front rises, and so on. Turbulence? Yes, the SimuSeat bounces when the sim bounces and floats when the sim floats. Yaw? Of course. Skids and bumps? Crashes? Yes. Your customer can feel it all in real (simulated) time and in perfect alignment/synch with the simulation.
SimuSeat reacts to whatever the sim throws at it.
It moves… you move.
NOTE: SimuSeat is now available to qualified manufacturers and distributors of simulation hardware under a licensing agreement.

At 14″ x 14″ x 3″ thick, the SimuSeat needs no expensive hardware to ‘Feel the Flight”. This is an affordable and broad-market alternative to expensive full-motion cockpits.
SimuSeat is compatible with X-Plane and Microsoft Flight Simulators, but can be adapted to most motion-based simulators with data-output capabilities.
The ‘Sim Launcher‘ app will allow your customer to automatically select which simulator or motion game to play, set up the communication, and start the session. There is also an app that will convert an X-Plane FMS file to a MSFS PLN file.
SimuSeat is easy to set up through the sim’s data output systems. For X-Plane, communication is wireless. For MSFS, it takes data through SimConnect and requires a USB cable. No special chair; it sits on whatever seat the simmer uses. No ‘cages’. No other platforms required. Electronics are powered by a rechargeable 12V battery. All self-contained.
It can also be adapted to a variety of racing games, sailing, farming, trucking, or other sims that offer data output.
Deliver to your customers an affordable option for a much fuller experience.
