I mainly fly the huey in vr and am considering purchasing one Yes. I have the HF8. I find it about half as necessary as TrackIR/headtracking, which I know is a bold statement. I was living without it, but now that I have it, I don't want to give it up. I fly mostly fixed-wing aircraft, and now when I drop gear or deploy the speed brake, I know they are working. I have mine configured to give landing gear feedback through the seat bottom, G-force and stall through the back, and speed brake all over. For prop aircraft and helos, I have the vibration set to all of the seat's vibration points. I use HF8 in DCS and BMS, and in DCS, I use it on my helos. When you get into the helo transition phase, you'll get vibrations that don't exist for forward flight. So, it increases immersion when using the control inputs. I have no idea how realistic it is, but that's the experience it provides. For DCS, you can use their hardware and software directly, as well as for MSFS2020. 1 The only time you have too much fuel is when you're on fire. ============================= AMD 9950X3D CPU, 96Gb RAM// NVIDIA 5090 // SSD only // VKB STECS Mini+ Throttle / TM Warthog FCS / MFG Rudder Pedals / Physical Cockpit // TrackIR or VR// Win11 Pro 64bit //
