TheWarsimmer Posted August 5, 2019 Posted August 5, 2019 Thanks for that discount code- will be ordering shortly. Read the link and you saw were you said you preferred it on the stick itself. I use a PVC setup and worry about it doing long term damage to the mount. Do you think if I attached it to an office chair that shared a wooden platform with the joystick that some of the vibrations would reach the stick? It's right in front of the chair and the base is actually attached to the floorboard the chair is on.
E69_Qpassa_VR Posted August 5, 2019 Posted August 5, 2019 I have it and I cannot be competitive enough when using it. You deep dive in the combat making you too nervous ?
JonRedcorn Posted August 6, 2019 Posted August 6, 2019 Dang I really want one of these. I need to upgrade my rudder pedals and throttle before I grab this though. Can never seem to catch virpil in stock.

ITAF_Rani Posted August 7, 2019 Posted August 7, 2019 Buttkicker and VR should be really great together !!?
TheWarsimmer Posted August 15, 2019 Posted August 15, 2019 Now that I've had the buttkicker for a couple days, I feel comfortable reporting on it. First off, it's great for immersion, and I can't imagine going back. Combined with VR it is a perfect pairing. It's not quite the eye opening experience that VR offers the first time you boot it up, but it's up there and worth it imo- especially with motoadve's code. Just be aware that the ring that connects to your chair is kinda small in diameter, so if you have anything other than a skinny pole it won't fit. Been using simshaker software with the other sim and voicemeeter banana to get custom vibrations as well as default in-game ones, and it's great. May get another eventually. I don't know if there is any software for custom responses with Il-2, but it would still be worth it imo.

kestrel79 Posted January 17, 2020 Posted January 17, 2020 Anyone know where I get a new cable for the Buttkicker 2 that connects to the headphones? The one that came with mine is pretty crackly I just discovered unless I rotate it to just the right position. I thought maybe it died last night when I fired it up for the first time in a few months, it's just the cable. Once I turned it a little bit it was fine but lots of crackling until I got it just right. Not sure if this thing is a pretty generic cable I can get online or something custom.
Varibraun Posted January 20, 2020 Posted January 20, 2020 Thank you @SCG_motoadve for posting this 25% off code...just saved $20+ over Amazon and the $20 New Year Special! Can't wait to try this out and may get a second one for the joystick mount if all goes well with the first one.
LLv34_Flanker Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 S! Can it be installed otherwise than around a tube? I have this DIY cockpit and installation would be against the structure instead of a chair tube etc.
[CPT]Crunch Posted January 22, 2020 Posted January 22, 2020 I put mine on a sheet metal connecting point on a auto bucket seat, than stuffed a heavy duty electrical conduit section in with it, works dandy. 1
SCG_motoadve Posted January 24, 2020 Author Posted January 24, 2020 Guys take advantage that IL2 now supports Simshaker, it adds lots of immersion, I have had my 2 Buttkickers for almost two years and liked them, but adding Simshaker converts it to a truly amazing experience. If you were thinking about a Buttkicker, adding Simshaker will really concince you. P.S. the 25% discount code is still valid. http://portal.referralcandy.com/QPHZRDF/share_redirect?location=reminder_email&message_id=410448014&type=referral_link_email_click You need two softwares from Andre, which by the way gives great customer service. And get Simshaker Wings here. https://andres.shop/software/28-simshaker-wings.html And Simshaker support for Bass Shaers (Buttkickers) https://andres.shop/software/29-simshaker-wings-6-channels-audio.html
dburne Posted January 24, 2020 Posted January 24, 2020 Do these things work when just running audio through a VR Headset?
kestrel79 Posted January 24, 2020 Posted January 24, 2020 I'm going to try that tonight. Run my headphone audio from my Rift S audio jack, and plug the Buttkicker into my motherboard sound. I think it should work that way. Someone else on here is doing something similar.
