TED Posted August 10, 2024 Posted August 10, 2024 I just ordered the hf8 and trying to work out the best way to implement it. There's not many recent posts anywhere. NLR claimed dcs support was coming in q2 2023 which has now come and gone but I see no updates on their website. Most posts I've read are at least a year old and folks are using and recommending SSA. Does anyone have any update on this? Does the nlr software now support and work well with dcs or is ssa still the best option to date?
Abarth595 Posted August 10, 2024 Posted August 10, 2024 Hi i have been using the hf8 for quite a while now ,i have used the nlr software ,seems to work ok in dcs ,but i use ssa software with the sound module add on with a small amp and a couple of transducers on the flight stick and under the throttle stick ,to be honest with you i just cant fly in dcs without haptic s now !!!! got the ch47 but cant get that working yet ,i think using the ssa software you lose a couple of tranducers working so to speak ,but that never bothers me . 1 amd 7800x3d,4090 gpu,64gb ddr5 6000 ram,warthog hotas,tpr rudder pedals, pimax light ,hf8 ,plus some vibration pucks ,
corbu1 Posted August 11, 2024 Posted August 11, 2024 Hello, I use the HF8 pad as well. Yes, the NLR software supports DCS now. So you could use it and benefit from the 8 transducers the HF8 has built in. I use the SSA software because I have also Buttkickers attached to my simrig. The SSA software allows it to use the HF8 pad and Buttkickers simultainliously with one software solution. Otherwise I had to run two different apps which I don‘t like. The SSA can only control 6 of the HF8‘s transducer, but that‘s no problem for me, because the above described is more important for me personally. 1 DCS Version: 2.9.15.9408 Modules: UH-1H - SA342 - KA-50 BS3 - MI-24P - MI-8MTV2 - AH-64D - CH-47F - OH-58D - UH-60L(Mod, n.i.) - OH-6A(Mod, n.i.) - A-10CII - F-16C - F/A-18C - AJS37 - F-14 - MiG-21bis - JF-17 - Mirage F1 - FC2024 -Combined Arms - Supercarrier - NTTR - Normandy2.0 - Channel - Persian Gulf - Syria - SA - Sinai - Afghanistan - Kola - Iraq - Cold War Germany — Waiting for: BO-105 - AH-1G/F(Mod) DCS-Client: 9800X3D, 64GB 6200, RTX3090, 1TB M2 NVMe(win10), 4TB M2 NVMe(DCS), VR VivePro2, PointCTRL, VaicomPro, Wacom Intuos S with VRK v2Beta DCS-DServer: 11600KF, 64GB 3600, GTX1080, 1TB M2 NVMe(win10), 2TB M2 NVMe(DCSDServer), DCS Olympus Simpit: NLR Flightsim Pro Cyclic: TM Warthog Grip with 30cm Extension + VPforce Rhino FFB FW Stick: TM Warthog Grip and Base, Throttle: TM Warthog Pedals: Komodo Sim. with Dampers Collective: VPC Rotorplus+AH-64D Grip Other: NLR HF8, Buttkicker (3*MiniConcert), TotalControls AH64D MPD‘s and EUFD, Alain Dufour’s AH-64 TEDAC, TM MFD, Streamdecks (1*32,3*15,1*6), VPC CP#1
TED Posted August 11, 2024 Author Posted August 11, 2024 Thanks for the replies guys. Looking forward to receiving mine when I get home from work in a couple days. I'll give the nlr software a go first then as I only have the pad and no other kickers and see what it's like. Good to know dcs is now supported.
