So if the fan is integrated into the PSU, is it not changeable at all?
I would not recommend changing that fan. Everything is possible if you are willing to void the warranty of the Meanwell power supply and likely the Accumotion control unit and don't mind disassembling the power supply.So if the fan is integrated into the PSU, is it not changeable at all?
That was emphatically NOT the case (no pun intended) with my AccuForce controller's power supply,Most of the noise is not at the fan opening, but coming from the slits in the sides that the air comes out of.
Sounds like a simple test to run. The 3" webbing directly against your body does transfer more detail than with padding absorbing some of the inputs.I've not tried without the pads. I don't know what detail you'd be missing. They pull, no matter with pads or not. It should be the same. Either the belt is pulling directly on you or the pads are. The forces from the G-Belt don't strike me as being particularly articulate.
Yes, I've done the same, dialled down the NLR. I also found I didn't need the forward motion when braking anymore so I got rid of that completely. Doing that has really helped with the issue of the NLR pausing for a second if you brake too hard which is a bonus (I run my Sprints near their maximum force).Sounds like a simple test to run.

By the same token my obliques are getting too much of a workout while I'm using a moderately strong FFB and handling the motion. It's not just the effort though. I am feeling the seat motion much more directly now since my body is pinned to the seat. So I need to continue to dial things down.

I've not really played with the settings in sim commander much, I just use braking and cornering, with very low acceleration and bumps. There are loads of other effects but I've not really experimented with any of them.
Do you guys use anything other than the basic ones?
Pads compress, adding lost motion. For the same change in felt tension,Either the belt is pulling directly on you or the pads are.

Awesome! Thank you.View attachment 494075
That's what I've been running for a while now. I just tuned the bumps down a bit because of the high activity on some of the bumpier tracks, it was turning more into noise than usable information. So I dropped them significantly. Of course I still have tactile delivering that feedback so you don't need massive jolts in the harness showing where the bumps in the track are. Just something minor to blend into the tactile effect and rounding it out a little more.
There are some "junk" effects (effects that basically have no effect in my testing) that you can pretty much ignore and everything I have listed above does give some sort of feedback. The pitch angle and acceleration are interesting ones. You may want to leave these off, or you could give them a try in isolation (just run that effect on its own) and see if it adds anything to your experience. Try at Eau Rouge at Spa, you should get a feeling for what they offer.
Note that for the gear change effect, you have to go into the effect and manually set the force of each up and down shift. I don't think you'll get any feedback if you just enable it and go out on track.

Who knew, removing the pads actually makes it feel better. The belts hug my body more and the great thing is that I don't really have any discomfort from them cutting into me. If anything, the velcro on the pads actually makes it more uncomfortable than having nothing at all. The line of it down the edge has a habit of rubbing on me, so the pads are OK but where they come together after wrapping around the belt is causing what they are supposed to cure.
It doesn't do it in any other sim though. The effect of taking your foot off the accelerator shouldn't be the same as heavy breaking.Well your body is reacting to the same force as the brakes being applied, forward motion being interrupted. It shouldn't be as drastic, but in essence it's the same thing.
A quote, i googled after reading a reaction on my YT videoUsing a racing-style seat belt harness gSense grabs hold of the driver's body and applies pressure drawing the body back during acceleration, laterally during cornering and releasing the body forward during braking. The driver is never actually moved, but instead feels the sensations that would be exerted on the body. Moreover, the system can effectively re-create sustained g-forces on the body which makes the effects feel incredibly natural{/quote]
