Ala12Rv-Tundra

I think by default you have several alias available such as "traffic" or "tower"

no you don´t, what you have is enough

yes you need the software and a second audio device to power the buttkicker

thanks for your work

if budget is not an issue, you can have both installed and working together. in case of just one option, definitely go for Ushake6 or Andre Jetseat like you said, being a single transducer, the buttkicker provides less info to your body.

I am still wondering what you favourite module is lol top stuff sir!!

it´s great reading you are having a fantastic time!! One suggestion, depending on the usage of your chair, I would consider adding a USB powered HUB hidden at the bottom of the chair, so you plug many things there and just one single usb wire to the computer case. For throttle, you may add an aluminium sheet to the top of the speake mount, and bolt the throttle with the 4 external holes the base has. However this could be unconvenient if you happen to have several throttle units like myself. And finally, keep having fun

The weakest link of your current Warthog combo, is the stick base. You could buy one of the several compatible bases around, like virpil, and keep the warthog stick and throttle. much easier on your wallet.

VKB could be tricky for warbirds, because of the lack of physical brake; I don´t fly warbirds so can´t make a statement here. Other than that, they are pure gold. For helis they are the closer thing to the real deal. For jets, I use them mostly with no issues, because I don´t mind assign the axis brake at any other input from my HOTAS and panels. Small footprint. Moving your ankles instead of your hip. Manufacturing quality is top notch. Sensors are better than overpriced TPR and on par with the others from your list. Many many users drop VKb from their shopping list right after reading they got no physical brakes. In all honesty, it´s theirs to lost.

unless Im mistaken, you need to buy SimShaker Wings for IL-2 or BMS and other software

Pointctrl today's estimated date of delivery is one year since the ordering day. Some have created similar devices on their own. VR controllers are good to interact, but like you said, the issue is leeching them and grasping the hotas.

Market and free? The payware solution has been around for years providing plenty of joy for many users. We are lucky enough to have simshaker for aviators working for free on dcs (check il2 or bms). If you are into tactile feedback, and $25 is a hill too steep... Think globally, it's just a small amount in the whole budget

No

For me, when ASW is off, anytime I move my head, the cockpit becomes blurried. If I keep my head static, image is fine. I set aws forces to 40hz, then the cockpit image is crystal clear no matter what, but external fast objects, like enemy planes on dogfight, and planes launching from carriers, got blurried

Most simple solution would be having dcs audio via regular speakers. Secondly, if you are willing to keep dcs audio via headphones, you can connect your mic, and mess with windows recording and playback options to force that mic input to be put through the headphones the other guy is using. Another option would be using a software called Voicemeeter banana which is used to mix audio channels, but never used it sorry

I don´t particular remember if the trial version of Sound Module allows for that. Anyway try choosing Sound instead of USB, and if you have a Jetseat or similar device, don´t forget to check "Simultaneous output". Then move to the other tab [Effect Settings], and you will see two columns, one for Jetseat effects strength, and other for Soundmodule strenght. Check Andre website for the specifics of the trial version.

Well just reading these reviews prompted for a weekend challenge, I have never used the lantirn with jester. Thanks everyone

For Tomcat they are a must. For VTOL Harrier too. Some like rudder input for refuelling rather than dropping the wings. For warbirds, I suppose so as well. More modern jets, they are less used, but always good to have them. For other sims, I liek flying Cessna 152 on MSFS, they are a must as well. I don´t think it´s a good idea dogfighting twisting your stick and applying roll and pitch input at the same time though.

as far as I know, no. I use simhub to drive 6 bass shakers for my simracing rig. For flight sims, I own a Jetseat, no issues here with SimShaker for Aviators, free. For bass shakers, buttkickers, body shakers... yes you can feed them by only audio, but that´s like limiting them for 25% of what they are really able to provide. Not to mention you need to mess your audio settings otherwise they will rumble with your Teamspeak, Discord, SRS, Vaicom... audio input. So yes a cheap USB second sound card and amp is mandatory, as well as paying $25 for Andre Simshaker Sound module so you can fine tuning multiple effects, and particular for every module you own. This software also has a free limited trial version, so you can test you shaking system before paying any amount. Available on Andre website Go for it, it´s an amazing inmersion booster for the money. The aprox $350 buttkicker pricetag is not expensive as it provides a very convenient plug and play solution. Whatever fits your budget, your DIY solution could be around $100. Behringer amps, Buttkicker 2ohm concerts, pro isolators, Clark synthesis shakers... and we could be perfectly talking on $1000 range.

All fine but the UFC specifically looks mega . congrats!!

The flight computer definitely needs to have zero stick pitch input to engage a/p balt

$350 is not cheap but obviously a very direct and simple solution. I dint notice any lag due to simshaker software. For me it's Mandarory to fly

real F-16 is Realsimulator FSSB, which has been around for quite time. But it´s so specific I´m afraid flying others like warbirds or helos, is going to feel awkward the twist stick is doable for helos, but I don´t recommend it for others. I would stick to pedals. It´s not coincidence most top tier sticks don´t have twist.

Only thing that comes to my mind is voiceattack with bailey's or similar profiles

I have one which feeds my stick, 3mfds, ufc and Jetseat. During some flights my stick disconnected/reconnected, or sometimes the Jetseat stopped working. Then I bought another one for rudder pedals and external soundcard, and got one mfd down there. No issues from there. Both USB hubs are powered. Don't buy one which is not, it's mandatory for our high demanding devices.
