BK Gamer Pro Hapticonnect vs. Simshaker for Aviators

[Sn8ke]

Been using a Buttkicker Gamer Pro transducer for just under a year with great results with Simshakers for Aviators. I fly the A-10C II. I just noticed Hapticonnect now supports DCS. Does anyone who has used both have any opinion favoring oneover the other! Thanks!

I don't but I'm curious how Buttkicker's own software compares. I've only used Simshakers Wings with IL2 and love it.

How many transducers do you have?
I have 3.  1 under seat.  1 each mounted to throttle and brake pedals of my sim racing gear (that deck is pushed back/away when I fly but still solidly mounted to the 8020 rig.
I'm very interested to try to get them up and going for DCS, so appreciate any advice.  Thanks.

One, the Big 'ol Buttkicker Gamer pro. At 100% can register as an earthquake lol. My advise: Unless you use Buttkickers Hapticonnect software (Which I have never used) you will need to download Simshaker for Aviators https://simshaker.com/software/general/. From the same web site, you will need to purchase the Simshaker Sound Module software. My amplifier is hooked up to DCS via a USB sound card just for the amp. There is a way to set the Windows 10 sound settings so DCS will go to your speakers and this sound card simultaneously. Why? So the amp receives pure sound telemetry data rather through a cable splitter, etc. Each aircraft has a profile on there, easy to use software, just need to tune the individual effect volumes to your preference. I have never used in a racing game, but like I said, I fly the A-10C II. I can feel the APU starting up, the engines, flap movement, even cracks on the taxi way and runways. G forces will cause a buffet like vibration, and the gun, I have it set to basically shake the chair without and loud clipping effects. It is totally an extra dimension of immersion.
