Butt Kicker.

[Panzerlang]

I recommend this bit of kit, it's certainly more efficacious in BoS vs RoF and adds a lot to the sense of immersion.

  Don't need it, my wife just gives me a belt every time she walks past my chair.  It's just difficult getting the timing to correspond with whats going on, on screen.

[Panzerlang]

Lol.

I have looked many times at this, but always when it was out of stock, how does it work if I am using USB headphones and no speakers? (Logitech G35) Wife keeps asking me what I want for Xmas

[Panzerlang]

It plugs directly into your soundcard, the USB headphones and lack of speakers won't stop it from doing its thing.

[JG300_Fried]

+1

 

I use it with ROF, CLOD, IL2, DSC....and BOS    and even FPS when I need a break (with BIOSHOCK, it's murder - no pun here)

 

Definitely one step forward in sim-mersion.

 

things to come :

 

- gas and powder odors

- temperature according to the weather/location/height

- pain when you get shot at

Ah okay, but how does windows/the game know to send a signal to your soundcard as it is already using the G35? Or am I overcomplicating it?

I was assuming your soundcard somehow passed its signal to your USB. How is your USB sound-powered?

It has its own soundcard built in, which is what was troubling me, if I had headphones plugged into the sound card then I could see it working as I assume it plugs into the Sub woofer socket. I looked into it before I got the G35, TBH I might just go back to my seinnhausers if this is a goer

[Panzerlang]

Ah. That's not going to work then. I guess, ideally, you want a 5.1 set of speakers with a headphone jack. The soundcard needs a black input hole I believe (the woofer jack).

 

I also have a pair of Medusa headphones, that have separate surround-sound speakers in each cup and I recommend them too. Each pair of speakers can be individually controlled from the in-cable doobrie.

[SYN_Blackrat]

Nope, quick google and it doesn't, need to google about headphone and mic useage too, speakers on during gaming are just not an option for me.

butt kicker? I'd rather have a butt scratcher!

A buddy of mine has one, we usually make fun of him using it.

 

Priceless moments were captured in game video where he ends the sortie - a ground attack mission with Jugs - and declares... "I am sweating!"

 

He assures the immersion is definitely enhanced 500% with it. From the landing gear touching, flaps moving, simple vibrations are applied from everywhere as long as there is a faint sound coded in. Can imagine that with the quality we have in BoS it is a nice item. Luxury though

Any good webshop where to but this thing? Somewhere in EU area or US.

Simware's price is 264€ including tax and delivery.

[SYN_Vorlander]

I have a BK2.

 

You cant use USB headphones for sound and TSpeak with a BK. Does not work.

[von_Sales]

the feedback is adjustable, if u use it the strong way other people can hear and feel it, and it depends how u mount to your chair/playseat. I use it for 2 years or more, the feedback in propsims is realy good and adds alot to the immersion!

 

(sorry, poor englisch)

I suggest the Gamer 2 http://www.simw.com/buttkicker-gamer.html

 

cheaper and best suited for what we do. It's the one I own.

Well the LaGG and La-5 series had a thin firewall so pilots reported very warm feet when flying. I could use some of that immersion in this house!

Cheers Vorly, will catch up and chat about this one night.

Always wondered how long a regular desk chair endures this before caving?

[Panzerlang]

If you rig one up and wear headphones, can someone else in the room hear the Buttkicker rumbling and vibrating?

 

It depends on the chair and type of floor etc.

I use Buttkicker and Logitech G35, no speakers without problems.

You use stereomix in your (windows) sound setup.

That way your Buttkicker gets signal from sound card while your G35 get signal via USB.

Wow, thanks, that is good news, is there full function on the G35 ie. the microphone works?

In fact if you use stereo mix it's like having two separate sound cards, one for the G35 and your PC sound card.

Mic, surround and all works as usual on the G35, but you still can have separate volume settings etc. on PC sound card.

I cannot find stereomix, is that in win7? Also maybe you are using Danish language and it is called something else in English?

In recording settings you right click and choose show disconnected devices

(Or something similar, mine's in danish) then double click Stereomix and let it listen to the G35's.

As simple as that? Thanks for the info, I could not find anything on the net relating to this.

Yes I did, its enabled now, I still do not understand how it works though, obviously I cannot do my normal trial and error as I do not have a buttkicker, but now i know its possible it will be on the Xmas list. can't wait to see my wife's face when she sees i want a buttkicker

One of the rare times I could see the use of having a wife, you lucky ******

You can do your trial and errors if you plug a speaker into your PC sound card.

When you get sound from both your G35 and PC sound card the setup is correct.

Thanx for the info Quizboy,

 

So I'm i understanding you correctly that ur BK works through the MB or internal sound card, with the gaming sound being played through the USB headphones and you are able to use team speak through the same USB headphones?

 

Thanks

Hmm, that was a tough one.. Haven't used TeamSpeak for ages.

I tried to install it and it seems to work if I set Capture Device/Playback Device to G35 in TeamSpeak options.

(Before I changed TeamSpeak options it was capturing output from my MB Soundcard).

[SYN_Vorlander]

So it works?

[Wolger]

Which model to choose from?

This would be awesome but I'm afraid it would drive my dog nuts, and does anyone else find it funny that the Buttkicker topic is HOT! I guess the bird is no longer the word.
