Forcefill-gametrix, sarà un buon compromesso?

Recommended Posts

Da un pò di tempo, seguo questa nuova idea che nel giro di qualche mese dovrebbe diventare materiale acquistabile. In realtà, io mi sono registrato come possibile acquirente presso la FORCEFILL ma se cerco il sito mi appare la Gametrix europea...

Voi che ne pensate? Vista la possibilità di gestire singolarmente ben 8 zone vibranti nel "tappetino" con un software dedicato, potrebbe essere più interessante che il buttkiker 2... o no?

May 2018 Update

Hi ,

You may have heard about the new General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR"), that comes into effect May 25, 2018. To help comply with GDPR consent requirements, we need to confirm that you would like to receive content from us.

We hope that our content is useful to you. If you'd like to continue hearing from us, please update your subscription settings:

As a valued customer, we are writing to give you an update on the status of the pre-order. The ForceFeel gaming vibration pad is currently shortly before the series production. Most of the works were ordered, and the production of the ForceFeel o8 is still moving forward. Unfortunately, some parts of the projects take longer to finish, than we planned.

Based on the feedback we received about the possible brand names, we decided to create entirely new names, with which our target group could better identify. Unfortunately, the process has to include the new research and trademark registration. As the logo is also a vital part of the product, we're giving the highest priority to the resolution of this issue.

The second issue is related to the control unit because two possible solutions are in the game, which can affect its design. Either we can include the circuit board inside the pad, which would allow us to avoid the 13-pin connector or let it standardly inside the controller. The electronics were recently finished and is being tested. During the next weeks, we will complete the mass production of the circuit boards, firmware and API for SimShaker.

Because the mass production of pads will start in the next month, we had to move the delivery date at least on the second half of the July 2018, as we need to take the time of delivery of stocks into account. However, once the mass production is started, we do not expect another significant delay.

We deeply apologise for this delay. We will also post status updates of the pre-orders more often to our Facebook page, to inform you about the current progress.

The main features are now confirmed:

The outer material used will be a breathable artificial leather (with small holes) that in addition to greater comfort also prevent the motors to overheat.

Thanks to the 8 channel control, which allows communicating with 8 separated vibration zones, ForceFeel will provide more detailed tactile feedback.

Because of the certification and the higher quality control of the critical parts, such as circuit boards and power adapters, we decided to cooperate with the suppliers from Europe. The power supply and appropriate adapter will be included.

SimShaker is an application, which offers enhanced effects of force-feedback from many racing games (Assetto Corsa, iRacing, Project CARS and many others) and flight simulators (DCS World, Falcon BMS, FSX or Prepar3D and X-Plane 11).

The ForceFeel device is focused on the low-frequency sound effects that are translated into vibration signals and sent to the motors to vibrate the pad, giving the tactile feedback and a sense of being in the game.

This image shows the software for testing purposes, where you can see its ability to control the 8 motors (channels) and the possibility to change the control between the software and controller. The new GUI application, together with the firmware will be fully ready in June.
 

Although it may sound too late, we still would welcome your feedback on the several features of the ForceFeel in this survey! This would help the developers to focus on the features that could be more important to you.

Il coprisedile vibrante è valido so che chi l'ha provato è rimasto soddisfatto.

Unico difetto è che non è traspirante quindi si suda ad averlo sotto il sedere.

Hai comunque notato che parlano di metà luglio in poi?

L'unica cosa che vorrei provare è se il software che lo pilota è simile a simvibe o similari,ma da cosa dicono è pensato apposta per i giochi di guida.

ps

ho letto adesso che l'han fatto di pelle traspirante....

Ma si, sembra un progetto serio e dai costi non esorbitanti... staremo a vedere e poi qualcuno lo comprerà ( io sarò fra quelli... ) e farà una recensione. Credo che se il software sarà decente, potrebbe veramente essere un buon compromesso. Tra l'altro, ho chiesto info supplementare e hanno risposto in 24 ore, per cui presumo siano abbastanza seri.

Magari con questo risolvo..

Speriamo che forniscano il sistema completo, così è tutto calibrato ed in garanzia.
