Sorry, I have not real the full 51 pages, but... I have read we need to downloads gametrix jetseat control panel for this software to work. So, does it mean that it works only for this kind of vibrating seat? I have a buttkicker. Will it work with? And do I still need to download this control panel? Also, if it is supposed to work with a buttkicker, my buttkicker is connected to my computer through spdif. Will it work? Thanks

I have not well understood what the simshaker is. It is a software based solution to enhance buttkicker experience? Damned I forgot that my base had a spdif output, I'm stupid ;) DAC is what? The digital to RCA converter? I don't understand what you did with this stereo mono converter.

Everything I doubt it, except if your buttkicker is deffective, there is no reason you cannot have it to work. You just have to connect the sound output of your computer to the input of the buttkicker through RCA wires. You may need adapters depending of your installation though, like I did because I use the spdif output for both the buttkicker and my headphones. So I had to take a spdif splitter and a spdif to rca converter, then a male male rca cable. Have you tried contacting the support? They are very helpful. They helped me choosing the good stuff as adapters for my installation. You just have to remember you need the sound going from your computer to the buttkicker amplifier.

Thanks. And it works fine with DCS? I can't imagine how it is possible with a single audio source (spdif) to isolate bass and send only bass to the buttkicker, without dedicated hardware ^^

I bought mine in a belgium simulation website ;) Less expensive than buying from the french reseller :) (I'm french)

Yes but what I mean is the way saitek TPM works, each switch only has two states, up and down. There is no idle position, like there is on the X55, so the switch is either up or down. Therefore if I setup the flaps on one of those switches, I have no way to stop them, the lever will always be up or down, never in the middle...

Can you do something like that for the Sabre? Here is what my lua file looks like: ["keyDiffs"] = { ["d431pnilunilcdnilvdnilvpnilvunil"] = { ["added"] = { [1] = { ["key"] = "JOY_BTN1", }, }, ["name"] = "Landing Gear Down", }, ["d84pnilu85cdnilvdnilvpnilvunil"] = { ["name"] = "Gun Fire", ["removed"] = { [1] = { ["key"] = "JOY_BTN1", }, }, }, }, Also, this is still true that when we enter then apply changes to the key config inside DCS all our "button released" info disappears? This is an issue ;) Thanks

You say made for headphones except when you use a wireless headphone like me. Though as my Siberia 800 has a jack line out guess I can connect it that way, though this requires a wire then. What I like with my buttkicker, it makes my sticks vibrating too, as they are tied to the seat :) This subpac is more expensive than a buttkicker as well...

So thanks for the info :)

Is it here just so you can stop the flaps in middle to not have them full up or down, but anything in between? And are there situations where you really need this? I have a TPM from saitek with switches, but I have up, down, but no middle for the switches, so can I just forget about this neutral position, and always use full up, full down, and if I need something in between I just setup a keyboard key so I can stop the flaps before the full position? Thanks

Indeed. Maybe I should try that. And use the software of the device just for games that do not allow such setup, like star citizen for instance... Though I guess this will not allow macros, like for instance flaps down then neutral again ^^

Looks interesting. Just wonder, isn't it possible to use also the included device driver software to setup things like that? For thrustmaster the software is TARGET if I remember well. I don't have a thrustmaster, so I don't know, but I own a saitek TPM with nine switches that behave like that, and with the saitek software you can emulate a key when the switch is down (button pressed) and another key when the switch is up (button released). Of course, that will require that the keyboard is well setup in DCS, and that the device is setup in its own software, and not DCS. (Have not read the 18 pages, so sorry if this has been discussed before)

I bought a buttkicker gamer 2 and just installed it in my obutto r3volution cockpit. I use the spdif output because my headphones are 7.1 (steelseries siberia 800). So, I had to buy some hardware to be able to connect the gamer 2 : - a SPDIF splitter, so I have the sound output connected to both the buttkicker and to my headphones ; - a SPDIF to RCA converter, as the buttkicker needs RCA and do not have a spdif input ; - and to connect the buttkicker to my RCA converter, I used a male male single RCA wire, so on one end I plug the wire provided with the buttkicker, on the other end the adapter provided with the buttkicker, but then I had female rca on both end so I had to get male male RCA to connect them. Now, in the doc they advice for games to put low cutoff to on, high cutoff to on, and freq knob to 40 hz. But do I have to setup something special on my computer? They suggest to put bass level to 50% min, but on windows 10 I do not know where is such a setup. Also, do you think I should put some isolated mat below my obutto, to not have issues with my neighbor? And what kind of stuff? Also, I guess I have to either switch starting music of DCS to off, or to put the buttkicker to on only when I'm on the runway, as if I do not, the seat is vibrating just with the starting music ^^ Thanks

About the fighter plates, the thing is, I'm flying helicopters too, and in helicopters we do not have the whole foot on pedals. In the small plane I'm flying in real life, the same ;) So I'll wait ^^ Moreover even if I decide not to wait, the line is so long that we have to wait for march ^^ Meanwhile, I'm still using my racing pedals, throttle and clutch as rudder :) It works in DCS, and in x-plane (though only with a free plugin for x-plane, and it works without any plugin in DCS)

I have seen a lot of testimonials saying how good those pedals are, and that you should buy them, now we need information about how to WAIT for the pedals to be ready, once we have decided to buy them ;) Especially for me, as I'm waiting for their fighter plate version, I don't want to have my whole foot on the plate. ^^

Do you have such a zoom out in DCS 2.0 too?

Though the issue is just that with my triple screen setup I have to setup a very close zoom in fov in order for the fov to be good after the zoom out. Therefore the plane is unflyable with such a zoom, and I have to pause the game and wait for the good zoom out to be ok, or I have to manually change the zoom.

Btw as the lights are knobs, any way I can use the knobs on the X55 throttle for that purpose? Thanks

I saw two lights left or right, but have not found out yet how to lit them :)

Yeah thanks just found out ;) I searched for switches but those are knobs... btw is there a way that when a mission starts in flight and in the knight, to turn those on automatically at mission start, to prevent the pilot to have to do it while flying? :)

Hi, Some missions start early in the morning, and I see nothing on the instruments... How do I turn on the panels light? Thanks Edit: ok I found, those are the rheostats on the right ;) But they need power to be connected of course ^^

Hi, When we start a flight, the game has a given view, then slowly zoom out to get another view... I know the snap views are configured in snapviews.lua, in our user config folder. Now, my question would be, how to make that the game just starts at the view we want, without any zoom out after? Thanks

Isn't it possible to import existing PNG from another kneeboard? That would be fine.

Maybe but for instance in the Savannah 912S I fly in real life, there is no such thing as a nosewheel unlock button or switch. And no differential braking. I guess this is because the nosewheel is never locked then. Do jets need such a lock system because at the speed they have, the nosewheel will not be sturdy enough if not locked?

How work groups? Can you easily swap to a given group, or do you have to create bookmarks? Thanks
