Forcefeedback chairs, headphones and the like. What do you use?

[bradray]

I enjoy the added immersion you can have from rumble chairs and such. I'm trying to decide my approach for this my A10 setup. Wondering what others are using.

 

I currently have an ivibe tactile feedback setup, but there is no direct support for DCS games and not likely to happen anytime soon (one man shop). But I'm thinking to hook it up anyway and also perhaps add some FF headphones.

 

Thoughts? Recommendations?

I am not using this yet, but it looks promising.

You shouldn't have any trouble feeling a SAM impact with one of these bad boys.

I'm also considering the buttkicker. Gamer 2 I believe. I used to have one before with my racing chair and it worked reasonably well. The only thing is, it's purely based on the audio output. Dosn't always match well with forces you would be feeling and limited.

 

The nice thing about applications like the ivibe TFS is, when the game supports it, you can model effects based on various parameters, like g-forces, acceleration, throttle-position and the like. For example, stowing landing gear can have a very noticable "jump" in your seat. Very immersive and love it.

 

Just doesn't seem there is anything else like that out there available for DCS.

I am not familiar enough with the ivibe TFS but I wonder if it could be made compatible with A10C via LUA scripting?
