Motion-Systems Qubic System - Belt Tensioner BT1 - Multi-purpose, dual channel, direct drive seat belt tensioner

Note: All BT1 units supplied by us have the ‘new’, quieter power supply unit. Please note: Delivery does not include an IEC power cable – please order separately (only available from us for German and compatible sockets with type E+F safety plugs) or purchase one yourself that complies with the standards in your country (See image ‘Power Requirements’ for requirements)!

The Polish manufacturer Motion Systems, which has developed the "Qubic System" motion platforms has now announced a new sensation: the Belt Tensioner QS-BT1.

And we are a little proud of this development ourselves, as Force2Motion was a driving force behind the development of this extension. With input from the racing and flightsim scene, we persistently fought for Motion Systems to build what we consider to be an indispensable extension for the Qubic systems. And now Motion Systems has introduced this product, which can also be fitted to many stand-alone cockpits without Motion. And of course it's a great extension for those who already have "everything". Well done, guys!

In combination with the BT1V3 adapter developed by us, the Seat Belt Tensioner can be mounted on a Next Level Racing V3 as well as on practically any other seat console. The function of a seat slider for longitudinal adjustment of the seat is fully retained.

About:

Powered by the same technology as the stunning QS-220, the QS-BT1 is a multi-purpose dual channel direct drive seatbelt tightener that enhances immersion in racing simulations like no other device in its class and price range. It not only complements the force feedback of the direct drive steering wheels, but also enhances the overall experience of the already highly immersive QS motion platforms and can even be used as a standalone, independent device if required.

Simulation of braking, lateral acceleration, cornering at high speed, wheel lock and loss of traction are among the key features of QS-BT1. Asymmetric engine vibrations and road effects such as rumble strips are also available for games that support them. Although QS-BT1 was mainly developed for racing simulations, with its 200 N force per channel it can also be successfully used in flight simulators to give you the feeling of gigantic forces during high acceleration manoeuvres.

Force2Motion Seatframe

The F2M seatframe replicates the substructure of the original Next Level GT Track seat or cockpit and extends its function by the possibility of mounting a joystick for a flight cockpit in the centre position in front of the seat (between the pilot's legs). The centrestick can be mounted statically. Depending on how far forward the centrestick is to be positioned, the round mounting plate can be moved forward or back through various drill holes in the range of 0-40mm. The compatibility to the NLR Flightpack is maintained and creates the mounting possibility universally also for other cockpit/seat combinations. A Buttkicker Gamer2 (or similar) can be mounted to the F2M Buttkicker Holder in such a way that it can transfer the effects directly to the seat and move freely in virtually any cockpit (when using the NLR Motion Platform V3) without bumping into fixed cockpit parts.
 
It is essential to ensure that there is sufficient room for the seat to move with the seat frame in the cockpit (do not use in the Fanatec cockpit!).
