What to buy?


Recommended Posts

Posted

What do I all need to buy to utilize this new feature in IL-2? I'm kinda confused. 

 

Looks like I need to buy a license for Simshaker correct?

 

What are my options for buying one of those force feedback chair pads in the US? Some links would be helpful and recommendations I know a bunch of you guys have some of these already by the looks of it I'm interested. 

 

I currently have a Buttkicker 2 mounted below my Obutto cockpit seat. What is needed to get that working in IL-2? Right now it's just going off the bass in the sound engine which is nice, but I'd really like to utilize this new software. It would be cool if someone could make a guide so all this info is easily available. If there's a thread already that has this info I apologize.

 

Thanks for the help!

This may help you as it's what I used to get started. For the simshaker wings software, you'll have to buy a license, and then download the beta version of the software. Hope it helps!

Pilot's 

I have ordered a seat from Andre' and thinking about building a 'cockpit ' 

I'm playing with VR 

 

Q: the simshaker have 6 points and give you the motor/guns / and so on 

     So why buy more ' shaken ' like buttkicker ????

 

If - ........

 

Q: be great to have with pedals and joystick ( maybe 2     50' watts ) 

     Under the seat one big 400 watt ....or maybe 2 -4    50 watts ????

I think a seat is all you really need, anything else is just a bit OTT.  The seat will give you all the cues you need, without shaking the chair or house down.  The motors are surprisingly strong and vibrate at different points around the seat to vary the information you’re getting.

I got myself that lil $7 USB soundcard a few others recommended on here. Going to use that as my secondary audio device to get my Buttkicker working with the Shaker software.

 

Anyone use a DAC to boost their headphone volume? Any recommendations for one to use with some Sennheiser Game Zero headphones and mic?

Through the audio output. You use a splitter cable to provide audio that drives the shaker. In audio settings you mirror the output to the shaker as you would for earphones and speakers.

So if I buy a buttkicker to I need to get an amplifier as well?  Seems like they go hand in hand.
