Anyone using Avionic Headset ?

[SnowTiger]

My father was a private pilot who owned his own Cessna 172.

Unfortunately he passed away in 2010.

 

I now have all his flight gear including his "SoftComm C-40 Pro-Am Stereo Headset".

As normal, this headset comes with Stereo Jacks (like the 1/4" jacks used for an Electric Guitar or your old stereo headphones).

 

As noted at the above-provided URL, the headset comes with PJ-068 and PJ-055B stereo plugs (jacks).

"IF POSSIBLE", I would love to increase my Sim experience reality just a wee bit using these.

 

SO ....>>>>>>

I was wondering if anyone else has and uses this type of headset/headphone and mic setup with DCS ?

 

If so, what type of Adapter do I need to change this to USB connector ?

[maikchaos]

USB-Headsets have the (USB)Chip integrated in the headset, so the "Adapter" u mean is something like this a cheap USB-Soundcard. IMHO for teamspeak it's ok but for ingame sound... maybee not really good. Just test it :thumbup:

I can recommend this company:

https://www.flightsounds.com/

 

Fantastic customer service and awesome quality products, you definitely get what you pay for.

 

I have the FSX-M for my HGU 55 and it's great.

 

Send them an email if your not sure which model you need.

Thank you both for your replies and accompanying URL's.

maikchaos >> Your link is exactly the idea I am thinking about. I never thought it would be that easy.

 

Lobinjaevel >> The link/product you provided is even more specifically what I need and am looking for. Though I am a bit surprised of the cost for this solution, I will definitely be checking this companies products out closely.

 

Thanks again to both.

PS> Do either of you use Avionic Headsets ?

Does anyone suggest I should stick with my current run-of-the-mill headset/mic because of sound quality or anything like that ?

Looks like lobinjaevel using a avionic headset. I just had a idea to your question. ;)

Give him a chance maybe, if the solution with avionic headset+USB soundcard is'nt working to your satisfaction u can send it back, (here in germany, don't know the rules for cashback in canada)

 

Personally I have a Logitech G35 Gaming headset.

I guess you are right.

I just looked up the HGU 55. VERY COOL.

I'd dig wearing that for sure.

 

Thx again.
