Have fun testing those Peter, do keep us updated on how the springs cope with the high level of foot/brake pressure you use on those awesome Simtag pedals you have.
I know some are asking about these from various forums and the full info for them is not yet been much talked about by myself. Let me give a bit more info to people here below but I can delete this if you feel it intrudes on your own rig thread.
I get asked how these can be installed:
As you have shown it's possible to totally isolate and make a profile frame section, to support seats/pedals and bolt directly into that. Or as we have looked into, possibly offering pre-drilled plates to easily accommodate different tactile installations. Such plates would allow BK Mini / Large BK / TST units to be installed.
These make it easier to then connect the tactile with the seat or pedals. Not only does this approach help to decouple the seat/pedals from the main rig but all the primary energy and detail from the tactile units being used. Now it is directly sent into the seat and pedals.
From my own isolation tests, these performed better than other pro-solutions I tried. In fact some costing up to 3x more. I do expect them to greatly help improve on the commonly used (rubber bobbins) we see lots of people using. Also like you tried with the "washing machine" vibration matt materials. These options, while offering some isolation they are limited in what they achieve.
As still in being beta form, I am keen on feedback from yourself and soon a few others with quite accomplished rig builds that have these coming. The desire is to have them thoroughly tested in the coming 1-2 months. My thanks also to the patience/support and show of faith to
(Dimitris, Nicolay,Frank).
Some Queries I Have Been Asked
They do still need some refinement. However, their design easily allows them to be customizable. For example, using extended bolts with additional isolation layers could help improve the felt upper harmonics (needs specific materials). A user's needs may vary in what they require, so I see beyond just a fixed/compact single design as an option.
One considered, yet important aspect.....
For people that have rigs in upstairs rooms, apartments, or flats and need to restrict vibration noise that goes into the floor/other rooms. Yet still, also improve the energy/detail that goes into their seat/pedals. I have a couple of potential options in mind using extended bolts and additional materials. With at least two beta testers going to help with feedback in these scenarios.
I also have to chase up
@Paul Jeffrey so he can finally experience more advanced tactile that's beyond his previous BK Gamer 2 experiences. It's been a while since I last chatted with Paul about adding tactile to his rig. Maybe if it suits Paul sometime in the near future, to pull the trigger on some new tactile hardware I can send him a set to try out too.
