Lange_666 Posted November 30, 2012 Posted November 30, 2012 Just get one and test it. If you get a hard-on it works, if not, re-sell it on ebay.

Gadroc Posted November 30, 2012 Posted November 30, 2012 It works pretty well and overall I'm usually very happy with it. It is based on audio though which has limitations. To get the "feel" of the engine / wind while flying you have to have the low frequency cut-off pretty high, which makes more of the radio chatter come through the butt-kicker as well. There were in the past a few audio mods that boosted the lower frequencies in key sound files to give it a better feel, but not sure if they are updated. Also make sure you have a way of routing audio to it. You will need to either have a sub-woofer output you split to it, or have a splitter and proper attenuated cable to merge both left and right audio into it.

Cowboy10uk Posted November 30, 2012 Posted November 30, 2012 It works a treat. You can feel those engines starting up, gear rising, and use the feel of the bombs releasing as a cue you have had a sucessful launch. The feeling of the GAU 8 shaking the chair while you fire, is fantastic, I couldn't fly without it. I have however modded DCS World using zzzspace Real sound mod that makes all the difference. You can feel the KA50 starting up.
