Bhaptics Tactsuit


Recommended Posts

Hi all

 

Has anyone heard about or tested the bhaptics Tactsuit? I‘m talking about this one:

bhaptics

Seems to be a buttkicker to wear and supports also games and videos or music via audio output. As I have no experience with buttkicker or Andre‘s jetseat or something similar, I‘m not sure if this could be a real benefit in DCS or if it‘s just expensive crap. Any thoughts?

Modules and maps: all of them :doh:

For DCS seems like overkill IMO.

 

But it would be interesting. lol

I‘m curious how the vest would work in DCS. Don‘t think the rest is that beneficial compared to the prize. But a wearable wireless buttkicker sounds good to me. Main question is what kind of aircraft „signals“ can be sent to the vest that make sense. Don‘t think you can simulate g-forces and feeling the flap extension on your body - not sure if that‘s the same quality than using a jetseat. Maybe he shaking of a stalling aircraft? Would be interesting what others are thinking.

Vibration effects are never overkill.

Or that´s what she told me :doh:

Would be cool if when you pulled

g it would inflate and squeeze you. That and a good tilt in vr would really emulate motion.

Of course you would look silly as hell but we are already grown men in pretend worlds so.....

I recently got a bhaptics vest and would love to get it set up with dcs but ive found 0 info on how to even attempt it. since it doesnt require audio to work with games this is a promising platform I just dont have the skills to set it up. platform seems pretty open though if someone did have the knowledge I would happily test it out

I'm starting to experiment with bHaptcis and MSFS ...

When the plane aproaches VNE, my back starts vibrating gradually.
When the RPM exceed 95%, my chest starts vibrating gradually
Whem G's exceed 3, my belly starts vibrating gradually

For a first try, I'm loving it !!!!
Is the a way to get DCS telemetry via UDP ? GForces, speed, rpms ...

Still interested in testing ? I just added DCS support to my tool:

does the vest bother you to fly long sesions >1hr flight time?
are you coding yourself the app to read DCS telemetry and sending effects to the various shakers accordingly?

Y endure very long sessions, 2 3H sessions with a pause for eating something. Not confortable, but it's like if a was wearing a anti-g suit 😉
But a friend says he can't endure it, that it destroys his back in minutes.

The Lua Script for porcesing the telemetry I copied the one from FlyPT Mover, and then Y proces the info, and send the effect to the bHaptics API. It's Open Source, it's all there

@cercata I'm wondering if you are still experimenting with your software and the bhaptics tactsuit. I currently use a bass shaker and it has dramatically improved my immersion, especially in the warbirds. My hope would to be to use both at the same time, separating certain signals like g-forces away from the bass shaker and into the suit while using both for certain other signals (such as AoA, flaps and gear, and cannon fire).

hmm, it tells me "Grabing config ...DCSBHap started", Sim: DCS, IP 127.0.0.1, Port 4125, status green, Preset: DCS_F18. Log says "no fresh telemetry data". When I hit "Stop", bhaptics tells me "Client disconnected", when I hit "Run", bhaptics player tells me upon connection "client disconnected"...

 

"DCS_To_bHap.lua" is in ...\Saved Games\DCS\Scripts\Hooks\ of course.

Hey, sorry, didn't know someone was interested in using it ... I forgot about this.

if you could sniff UDP traffic on port 4125 with wireshark, I will know if it's a problem with the .lua or with my Script. I'll test it today to see if it works with the last version, didn't use it with DCS for months.

 

Sometimes there is another folder for the .lua files, DCSBeta instead of DCS.

Finally got mine working... idiot operator error as usual. @cercata any possibility of adding the DCS P47? It's the only aircraft I fly unfortunately.

I don't have that plane, so I can't test it ...

 

You can edit the Sim2bHap.ini, and add the P47, you can use the P51 as base, copy/paste, rename, and change the max speed.

The *Threshold parameters, you can change them also to your taste, if you want the vibration to start sooner or later.

If you put several * before the name, it will be the first one in the list.

 

[***DCS_P-47]
activeSim = DCS
speedThreshold = 75
rpmThreshold = 98
maxSpeed = ???

i just tested it out and it works with my edited file. Thanks a million @cercata
