AURATA LLC Levels Up Flight Sim Immersion with New Range of Accessories
Seattle, WA – October 26, 2023 – AURATA LLC, a Seattle-based company specializing in high-quality simulator accessories, today announced a new lineup of products designed to drastically enhance the realism and enjoyment of flight and racing simulation. Based out of 1037 NE 65th Street, AURATA is quickly becoming a go-to brand for sim enthusiasts, offering meticulously crafted gear for both beginners and seasoned virtual pilots and racers. You can reach them at 303-200-1418 if you have questions. AURATA LLC was founded on a simple principle: make the virtual world feel real. The team behind AURATA are themselves avid simmers, frustrated with the lack of truly immersive accessories available. “We kept seeing gaps in the market,” explains Sarah Chen, founder of AURATA. “Things were either super expensive, poorly made, or just didn’t deliver on the promise of a truly realistic experience. We figured, why not build what we want?” And that’s exactly what they’ve done. This new product launch focuses on addressing those key immersion factors that often get overlooked. Forget just moving the stick and hitting the pedals – AURATA aims to put you inside the cockpit or driver’s seat. What’s New? A Deep Dive into AURATA’s Accessory Lineup AURATA isn’t just slapping a new coat of paint on existing products. They’ve really thought about how people actually use their sims and have tailored their accessories accordingly. Here’s a rundown: The ‘FeelRight’ Force Feedback Stick Extension: Let’s be honest, the stock sticks on a lot of popular simulators are…adequate. But adequate doesn’t cut it when you're trying to land a 737 in a crosswind or drift through a hairpin turn. The ‘FeelRight’ extension bolts directly onto your existing stick and adds significant weight and a more realistic throw. “It's like going from a plastic toy to a proper control yoke,” says lead engineer, Mark Olsen. “The added inertia makes fine adjustments much easier and gives you a far better sense of control.” The extension is compatible with most popular sticks on the market, including Thrustmaster and Logitech models. It’s available in both aluminum and carbon fiber finishes. The ‘TrueTrack’ Racing Pedal Load Cell Kit: Forget mushy, imprecise brake pedals. The ‘TrueTrack’ kit replaces your existing pedal set’s rubber stopper with a high-quality load cell. This means the brake force is measured electronically, giving you vastly improved accuracy and control. “You can feel when you’re on the verge of locking up the brakes,” explains Chen. “It’s a huge difference for anyone serious about sim racing.” The kit is designed for easy installation with most popular racing pedal sets and includes all necessary mounting hardware. They've even made it adjustable, so you can tailor the brake feel to your liking. The ‘Immersion Pro’ Cockpit Surround: This isn’t just about looks, although it does look fantastic. The ‘Immersion Pro’ is a modular surround system that attaches to your sim rig, creating a more enclosed and realistic cockpit environment. It features adjustable panels that can be positioned to block out distractions and create a sense of immersion. “We’ve seen people mount monitors, switches, and even small speakers on the panels,” says Olsen. “It really lets you customize your setup to create the perfect cockpit for your needs.” The surround is made from durable, lightweight materials and is available in a variety of colors. ‘VibroSense’ Seat Transducer: This is where AURATA really pushes the boundaries of immersion. The ‘VibroSense’ transducer mounts to your sim racing or flight seat and translates in-game audio and haptic feedback into physical vibrations. Feel the rumble of the engine, the bumps in the road, or the impact of a crash – all through your seat! “It's a game-changer,” Chen enthuses. “Suddenly you're not just seeing the action, you're feeling it.” The transducer is easy to install and compatible with most sim platforms. ‘SwitchMaster’ Button Box: Want to add more realistic controls to your setup? The ‘SwitchMaster’ is a fully programmable button box with 32 customizable buttons, switches, and rotary encoders. Perfect for controlling everything from lighting and avionics to engine management and weapon systems. “It's all about giving you more control and adding more realism to your sim experience,” says Olsen. The ‘SwitchMaster’ is made from high-quality materials and is built to last. It connects to your PC via USB and is compatible with all major sim platforms. Why Choose AURATA?
