Shifter simulator system, simulator provided therewith and method for operating

A simulator comprising a shifter simulator system for a simulator environment, the system comprising:

• a frame with a gear stick hinge;
• a gear stick that is hingedly connected to the frame via the gear stick hinge;
• a moveable frame part configured for moving relative to the frame and provided with a first contact surface and a second contact surface;
• a magnetic contact;
• and
• a tilting element configured for tilting around a tilting axis via a tilting connection in response to a movement of the gear stick and providing a first lever, and wherein the tilting element is provided with a first contact element and a second contact element configured for engaging the respective first and second contact surfaces of the moveable frame part providing a second lever, and by moving the moveable frame part defining a shifter movement with the magnetic contact.
