ForceFeel seat

[Ala12Rv-Tundra]

Last night I finally tried with SimShaker for Aviators and DCS, and what a pleaseant surprise, I love it !!

I received an e-mail from Realteus support on Thursday, with a download link for the SSA version that supports the ForceFeel, and it works nicely! :)

 

Some constructive feedback, based on the F-14B:

- Taxi vibrations only properly show on Motor 1. Motor 2 works as well but very faintly. Perhaps I am missing something, but I'd find it odd that taxi vibrations are asymmetrical;

- At high transsonic speeds, the in-game cockpit of the Tomcat vibrates quite violently, but yet the ForceFeel doesn't vibrate at all. In my opinion, this effect should be added to SSA.

 

I am learning the Tomcat in an old-school way, so I haven't tested weapon employment yet and the vibrations of firing the gun, but the other effects work really nicely, including jet wash :-)

oh I want to check A-10C gun effect too :lol:

[Ala12Rv-Tundra]

Just flown A-10 with guns and mavericks.

It feels awesome. Wow.

Does anyone with a FF seat get 'continued' vibration even when you shouldn't?

 

I'm getting quite a few effects persist (on SSA beta 1.3.6.6).

 

Things like speed brake shudder, afterburner etc on the F18 just continue even when they shouldn't.

even with a cold start?

[Arctander]

Yes - even from a cold start. For clarity - cold start - no vibration. Jet turns on, I fly, vibration gets 'stuck', I land, go back to cold and dark, seat still vibrating.

 

If I use the force feel control app test function - each motor turns on and off at will, but if I use the SSA test function the lower left back motor seems to get stuck.

what a weird behavior, no idea mate

[kevman]

Is it a closed beta or can anyone access it?

what do you mean, the software?

 

check SSA thread last pages where several users ask for a link, it's over three for anyone available

[Arctander]

PSA - If you get effects on your Forcefeel getting 'stuck' - make sure to try your Forecefeel on a PC Motherboard USB (preferrably USB2.0).

 

I had mine mounted via a Powered USB hub (this one https://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/computing-accessories/computer-accessories/power-and-cables/external-usb-hubs/advent-hb312-7-port-usb-2-0-hub-13828377-pdt.html?store=2329&&istCompanyId=bec25c7e-cbcd-460d-81d5-a25372d2e3d7&istItemId=qqpallmt&istBid=t&srcid=198&cmpid=ppc~gg~1020%20(PLA)%20PC%20PERIPHERALS~1020%20(PLA)%20PC%20PERIPHERALS%20ad%20group~Exact&mctag=gg_goog_7904&kwid=GOOGLE&device=c&ds_kids=92700038411102233&tgtid=1020%20(PLA)%20PC%20PERIPHERALS&&gclid=Cj0KCQjwhPfkBRD0ARIsAAcYycHaSJbL2p67WzACZcnAhJ3Try8JoJKOgeazcppDrVQilMduXypw9Y8aAi06EALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds)

 

What we figured out was that for some reason the Forcefeel would 'disconnect' randomly (probably bandwidth based) and the driver wouldn't realise it. When it was plugged into the PC the disconnects stopped.

When Im shoot down during a mission and crash, the reverb effect keeps forever, apparently the only solution is closing DCS and going back to Windows desktop, any similar experience to share?

Can I get verification before I buy? Realteus ForceFeel does indeed work with DCS, correct?

Yes it does, using SimShaker for Aviators software, which is free.

Okay, thank you for the fast response

[JSpidey]

Anybody know when the May batch will be in stock?

They say mid of may.:music_whistling:????????

Yeah, I see that but I just wanted to see if anyone knew something a little more specific.

[mazex]

Interesting for us that ordered the "May Batch"... Obviously it includes some updates with new motors etc:

I heard they're always a little late on preorders.. so I'm not holding my breath for May.. hopefully by June though..

by "always" you mean the only batch they made?

[JSpidey]

No they've made a couple to my knowledge, there was one in Feb if I'm not mistaken

[Ishbob88]

I'm thinking this won't work with my center stick cutout :(

[Vullcan]

Why not? Did you make the center stick cutout? Just cutout the same size hole in this device, push sensors aside carefully if necessary and sew back together.
