Vi segnaliamo il lancio sul mercato per il prossimo mese di gennaio 2007 del nuovissimo UltraForce Simulators, un sedile per la simulazione di guida davvero incredibile che è in grado di trasmettere al pilota i movimenti dell'abitacolo virtuale! Commenti sul forum.

The UltraForce GS-1 brings ground-breaking G-Seat technology to racing sim drivers and flight sim pilots. The patent-pending GS-1 translates inertial accelerations calculated by the simulation software physics calculations in the X, Y, and Z axis into three dimensional motion cues. Race drivers and pilots alike will experience "seat of the pants" feedback from their favorite simulation software like ever before.

The height and angle of the GS-1 G-Seat is fully adjustable. The chair is upholstered with a grippy rubberized material that helps translate 100% of the chair feedback to the body of the user. The seat frame is constructed from aluminum and steel. The seat is available in multiple colors. The upholstery and powder-coated chair legs come in black, red, blue, green, or yellow. The seat provides mounting points for an optional 4-point harness. The GS-1 is powered by electric motors. Just plug the chair into an electrical wall outlet and connect USB cable to a computer. That's it! The chair is ready for software installation.
