Hey all,

I been looking for the next new thing in my setup.. I recently rediscovered a 6DOF Platform that you can DIY, but upon further investigation I would need at leaset 10' ceilings to get it working with my rig so that is out..

I also added a buttkicker a few months back and it has been great.. Well I stumbled on a kickstarter program for DCS and Buttkicker. it uses DCS Telemetry and lua files to produce certain vibrations but it in a very early alfa mode and I can not get it working and have no patience to further test it..

Well onto Google and I found SimVibe but it also has limited Flight simulator support it only can use XPlane.. Altho it would be good If I played Race sims as it has quite a few titles in that genere..

So I came here to see if there is anything like Simvibe but for DCS,FSX and possibly F4 BMS??

Neph,

Check out [url=http://www.xsimulator.net/community/][/url]. This enthusiast developed software is mainly for servos and like motion controlled actuators but the software is mature and robust now. Inquire there about Buttkicker. The X-Sim reads the telemetry from an amazing number of games and translates it into a voltage. Not too far a stretch for it to better control your BK too.

Whether yes or no, the community over there is very knowledgeable and the projects people have built are definitely worth a gander.

Cheers,

FC

Well working currently with SimShaker for DCSW, it is pretty cool but an early beta release so we are still ironing out a lot of stuff..

So far this seems to be the only softweare going for DCSW and if this pans out hopefully we will get future flight sime releases for like F4 BMS and FSX
