LVA_Picard Posted January 25, 2023 Posted January 25, 2023 (edited) Today i receive the ButtKicker Gamer 2. Are there people with experience of this device in relation to VR ? I know it works good with racegames . I wonder iis this also working in il2 fore example when you open fire ore beings hit by Flak ore machine guns cannon from a other plane ? I made myself a flight sim cabin and i also want to make a adjustment tube and make a connection with that cockpit cabin so that i can feel it vibrating . Must ad realy something to the immersion . greets Edited January 25, 2023 by LVA_Picard
Charlo-VR Posted January 25, 2023 Posted January 25, 2023 (edited) You want SimShaker Wings, as explained at You don’t need the JetPad, too - though adding it to a Buttkicker is really nice and immersive Edited January 26, 2023 by Charlo-VR 1
LVA_Picard Posted January 25, 2023 Author Posted January 25, 2023 Thanks people i already downloaded Sim hub , not sure if that works fore il2 but i am about to find out ??
TheSNAFU Posted January 25, 2023 Posted January 25, 2023 Yep simshaker wings is what you want to enhance the Buttkicker experience. It allows you to turn up or down things like engine vibration, gun fire and a whole host of other effects. It greatly adds to the immersion factor.

LVA_Picard Posted January 26, 2023 Author Posted January 26, 2023 (edited) Got it , thanks fore responses . It works now , and how cool is it to take off and feel the weels tumbling , when you retract gear less noice is there , when you make a sharp turn its vibrates and when you shoot you been Trien out your seat haha Its also good fore the blood flow if you ask me haha Because the chair is tighten to the flight box you also feel the cockpit shaking including the gashandel and joystick , i wish no more . Hardly imagen now that i flown without . Robin Edited January 26, 2023 by LVA_Picard . 1
Charlo-VR Posted January 26, 2023 Posted January 26, 2023 If you fly WWI at all, wait until a flak burst hits nearby - I almost jumped out of my seat when I felt that the first time with a Buttkicker 1

I thought this wasn’t available in IL2. 1

My experience with a startling flak burst was in Rise of Flight, and I was only using sound output on the Buttkicker at that time, back in 2012 or so
DragonDaddy Posted January 28, 2023 Posted January 28, 2023 Thanks for clarifying. Really wish IL2 flak bursts would rock me out of my seat.
LVA_Picard Posted January 28, 2023 Author Posted January 28, 2023 It does , Flak is nearby i jump out of my Seat use sim hub and it works fantastic . You really feel these blasts in your chair . Fine tweaking is something you need the time fore it . Never want back without butkicker . Even bought myself a licence fore more options Robin 1

LVA_Picard Posted January 28, 2023 Author Posted January 28, 2023 (edited) I think so yes how else ? Edited January 28, 2023 by LVA_Picard
DragonDaddy Posted January 29, 2023 Posted January 29, 2023 This sounds interesting. So you are using a ButtKicker with SimHub but not SimShaker Wings? Anything you can tell us more about this and the settings you use? I am very happy with SimShaker Wings but your mention of flak bursts makes me want to experiment. I have downloaded and viewed the SimHub app but not clear on where to start. Thanks 1
LVA_Picard Posted January 29, 2023 Author Posted January 29, 2023 (edited) Thats right Dragon , the standard settings are already a good start . I started with a Pfalz 3D en was adjusting some settings ingame key combinations . So engine was of and i didnt know if the buttkicker was working in the first place . Suddenly a artillerie shell near the airfield . It almost spoiled my flight cabine because i jumped out of my chair fore a few seconds haha Also when you fly over the front you can feel the bom blasts . Gonna eat some now i post some screenshots of my settings later this evening . Salute Robin Edited January 29, 2023 by LVA_Picard 1
LVA_Picard Posted January 29, 2023 Author Posted January 29, 2023 What i do is i make 2 profiles , 1 fore FC and 1 fore BOS . Responses are really different Robin

Did you give it a try ? My problem right now is that i can change what i want but it seems its not changed at al Good thing is that the standard settings wil do but i need to tweak some more . In FC when i fire the gun i almost jump out of my Seat and in BF Stalingrad when i open fire fore example iin a BF 109 f2 incl 20 mm gun i feels a little fuzzy . Still dont want to going back without buttkicker it ads a lot to flying in combination with VR it come close to the real thing . I did some lessons in a Cesna 172 Its freaking amazing ??
DragonDaddy Posted February 2, 2023 Posted February 2, 2023 I was testing this a bit. Then I found SimRacing Studio, which supports IL2. It has aircraft-specific settings, but not nearly as many as SimShaker Wings. More testing this weekend. I wish these apps could be combined. Each has interesting features. I’ll post my progress if I get positive results. Thanks for following up. 1

Thanks Changes i made does work now i dont have a clue why it works i made some changes in the sound settings haha Its clear that you need different profiles fore ww1 planes and ww2 planes , the guns are still giving to loud base response in ww1 planes but i am reaching the goal .
