Ala12Rv-Tundra

I think it´s easier finding an amp with 3,5mm jack input, and then RCA output

no, the amp will go to input connection of a external or secondary soundcard. No USB.

8Gb VRAM sounds prety tight. Whats your setting dcs max fps? It should be same fps as refresh of your headset or half of that

Berhinger amps are very popular again, among simracers. Not cheap though.

I have very fond memories of DCS flights, but one that hits me now and then is when the clouds system was released. April 2021 maybe? A friend of mine and myself created a simple mission with no enemies, Marianas, two Hornets, clouds. We both fly VR so even though some clouds looked funny, the overall aspect of the mission was outstanding. We felt we were living a pivotal point on dcs, with syncro weather and such. We flew for a good while, then he put music on, "pearl harbour" theme, this one https://youtu.be/LXLO2wN4b8o?si=wHVhnuKQF5nlMr0k We went formation cloud surfing for almost 90 minutes and barely spoke a word.

Any haptic feedback is a nice addition for a rig. LFE unit is very expensive, you might have a better solution budgetwise with the regular gamer pro or mini unit. But I know LFE is very popular among simracing users.

amazing stuff, thanks for going the extra mile

is that a poang chair? Apparently it´s a well known resource for driving/flight sim rigs and you have plenty of info and examples on youtube

What about attached to the alu extrusion profile showed in the Pic? Also consider adding another layer of isolation between the carpet and the chair. The more energy is contained in the chair instead of transferring to the carrier and floor, the better. The amp will require less effort for the effects to be noticeable

The closest location to your body part in contact. Example, if your rudder pedals rest at a pedal plate, that's a nice place. If your seat is a bucket(rigid) style seat, the lumbar area. However, if it is a comfy with plenty of padding, the seat must be tricky. Is the seat isolated from the floor?

cable settings bandwith?

For me it´s joy modified + first trigger detent. I can´t understand why so many players decide to keep the body off.

Just to add, the gooseneck extension is the Virpil 200mm

Hello, Years ago I bought a second hand base MT-50 Mongoose. This summer I bought a "gooseneck" extension and now I find the stick too easy to move because of the bigger lever. Found the springs the former owner provided. It´s black and the other pair metal/gold. Therefore, what springs are currently installed? Manuals and stuff seem to be difficult to find. Lot of CM2 and CM3 bases material around the Internet, but not for this one.

massive thumbs up for this work, again. Thanks!!

I would say adjust engine effect first. It tends to dilute anything else if the setting is too high. Check also the option to reduce engine effect once airborne, it´s on"special settings" tab from SSA. Secondly, things like F-16 flaps or F-14 wing sweep, tend to work A LOT inflight. Make sure they are low settings. Export your setting to save them, the app will create a file for the config of all your modules, in case you have to reinstall or update. And lastly, $133 absolute bargain, you are very lucky!

was comfort the trigger to refund? hot from rage or due to the shakers getting overheated? because the software allows for controlling intensity, both general and particular for each effect. Engine effects tends to dilute things, so it´s usually very low on my settings, because it´s of course working all the time once startup is done. Besides, SSA got a tick for having full engine effects on ground, but reduced airborne.

I would say, if you fly a lot of fs2020 or xplane, normal aircraft, a buttkicker is great, because you don´t have many "stereo" effects with that kind of flying, mostly no stores to drop lol. But cars and military aircraft, if I had to choose one, it would be a seat pad. I would buy a HF8 from amazon, sit for 30 mins, check you ass return or join the ass shaker club. Take full advantage of Amazon return policy. Andre JetSeat is a great product, but these days it´s more expensive than HF8, and delivery and payment could be messy (things of Russia and real life geopolitical conflicts...) Can´t really compare with Amazon. Other users report the HF8 thickness being a issue so they have to modify their pits to keep ergonomy. CPU usage is negligible. No delay either. Time ago people visited my house to test VR and my pit with a seat pad. It was funny they began flying, with everything turned on. Then, after 4-5 mins, I quietly turned the seat pad OFF, well, you couldn´t believe their reactions, even after such short time, flying with the seat pad off was a massive turndown and the sim felt empty and numb for them. I don´t know what else to say

For your module to appear on SSA, you need to use them once with SSA active.

both are great and a massive improvement. the seat pad with individual shakers, even though they are less powerful, is better suited for effects with left/right feeling, for instance dropping ordnance from left or right wing. You can tell, with your eyes closed, from what wing the bomb fell off. Ground rolling is also noticeable, feeling the bump first atht the knee area shakers, then your ass area. Landing gear doors, main and nose, also feel different than a single "chunk". Starting left and right engine, it´s noticeable. The main rotor of helicopters, very noticeable. For these effects, the buttkicker response is more limited. However, it´s better suited for certain effects like touchdown, dropping countermeasures, damage received... is budget a thing? if not, combine both and you will get the best of both worlds do you play civilian aircraft or simracing? they both work great there. if budget is a thing, you could get a HF8 seat pad for like $220. Plug and play, software is free. Regarding comfort, yeah, it´s worse than no pad and your experience may vary. Maybe long sessions are not your thing. Buy a pad now for black friday, and buttkicker for xmas lol

did you choose "Forcefeel" from the dropdown menu?

very clever idea

When using the A-10CII module, I noticed the gear doors effect got a bigger "clonk", somehow unexpected. Did the files change? is it an error? Speedbrakes effect also feels different to months ago. Very noticeable even at low SSA values (20 or less).

Got a unit last week but it's not plugged in the rig. I also own a Jetseat so easy comparison

a cheap motorbike steeing damper is enough, it´s even adjsutable on the fly with a rotary knob
