Sensit Haptics FAQ

Here we answer the most common questions about our Metahaptics technology and the MTC-P.

Metahaptics and the MTC-P

What are Metahaptics?

Metahaptics is a technology that enables virtual and tactile feedback experiences in real-time using haptic devices.

How does Metahaptics differ from other haptic technologies?

Metahaptics employs a complex algorithm-based technology that enables a wide range of tactile feedback experiences to be generated in real-time, while other haptic technologies use simpler vibration patterns.

What are the benefits that Metahaptics has on Simracing?

Metahaptics helps you feel more immersed in the experience and brings the Simulation to the next level. If your main goal is to drive the fastest time possible, then Metahaptics can help you find the exact grip limit of your tire.

Which effects are simulated?

Gear Shift, Engine, ABS, Wheel Slip, Road Feel

What Sims/Racing Games are currently compatible?

Assetto Corsa Competizione, Assetto Corsa, Assetto Corsa Evo, and F1 24 are currently supported, with more to come in future updates.

Do Metahaptics work with SimHub?

The product fully supports connectivity against SimHub software with full feature sets. It is an alternative use mode to the native Sensit SimRacing Cockpit® software, which is optimized for full range of high-resolution effects, lowest latency and special effects for each game.

Software

How do I find out which App version I have?

Under “settings” you can see which version you are currently using.

Where are my profiles saved?

The "Save" button, which is located below the active profile tile, allows you to select your own location or folder.

How can I update the app?

The app will notify you when a new update is available. In the "Settings" section of the app, you can choose to install the update manually or enable auto-update.

What is the difference between immersive mode and competitive mode?

Immersive Mode aims to provide a realistic driving feel with all effects turned on so you can really feel what your car is doing on the track. Competitive Mode on the other hand aims to give you minimal effects (Wheel Slip and ABS) so you can focus on improving your lap time at the limit of grip.

How do I create custom Profiles?

Just press the create button on the top left part of the interface. There you have the option to name your profile and choose what Sim it will be used for. After that you have the option to configure the effects.

Hardware

What is built into the cushions to create the effects?

There are 6 actuators on the seat cushion and 8 in the rear seat cushion. These are responsible for the haptic feedback. The are 2 big ones and 4/6 small ones each.

What is included in the box?

Seat cushion, Center cushion, Back cushion, Power adapter, Metahaptics control unit, 3M hook-and-loop straps, USB-C to USB-A cable, Quick installation guide, User manual

What seats are compatible with the MTC-P?

The MTC-P was originally designed for the ThermalTake Ttesports GR500 and the Nitro Concepts R300.

While they cushion were designed to be used in a variaty of chairs, they might not fit perfectly. Depending on the chair's seat width and shape, the pads might:

  • Have extra space on the sides, leading to a slightly looser fit.
  • Require gentle compression to fit snugly into narrower seats.


To help you determine compatibility, we have compiled a list of chairs where the pads have been tested and found to be functional, though not always perfectly fitted:

  • RECARO: RECARO Sim Star, RECARO SPG Profi XL, RECARO Pole Position
  • SimxPro: SimxPro GTR, SimxPro GT
  • Sparco: Sparco Circtui II QRT, Sparco Evo L QRT, Sparco Evo XL QRT, Sparco Pro 2000 QRT, Sparco Rev QRT
  • Rseat: Rseat Alcantara, Rseat Bucket Seat Pro GT
  • SRS: SRS Cobra 3, SRS Dynamic, SRS Racer XL
  • Corbeau: Corbeau Revenge X Seat, Corbeau Revenge X Seat XL
  • Simlab: Simlab Speed 1 XL, Simlab Speed 3, Sim-lab Speed 1
  • Treq: Treq STX, Treq STS, Treq ST1
  • GT Omega: GT Omega Chase Bucket Sea, GT Omega Interia Bucket Seat

    If you have any questions about whether our seating pads will work with your specific chair, feel free to reach out to us before purchasing. We want to ensure you get the best possible experience!

MTC-P trouble shooting

My kit stopped working while racing.

Try unplugging and plugging the power cable and restart the software. It should say “seat connected” in the top right corner.

My haptic feedback is very weak.

Check which profile you are using, then try adjusting the intensity sliders. Also, make sure that all the desired effects are turned on.

The effects are not working in the Sim

Check to see if you are using a profile with disabled effects, and switch them on for the current simulation.
