Dangermouseb51 Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Evening all, Am looking for input / recommendations to improve the immersive experience in DCS. Currently using VR but looking at a rumble seat / shaker... I’ve come across a couple of devices, the Simshaker 2 the Realtus Forcefeel and the Jetseat. For the most part there seems to be limited knowledge reviews or from what I’m reading these devices are couple years old allready and various complaints with built quality, non deliveries etc. Also is there any Kickstarter projects in the pipeline to keep an eye on .... Thanks chaps.... Dangermouse [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Euan Emblin Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 (edited) The Gametrix Jetseat gets my hearty recommendation, works great with both DCS and IL-2 Great Battles, and combined with VR really helps to ramp up the immersion aspect.

JoeyJoJoJunior Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Go read the Realtus thread. Most people have not received theirs after months and months of waiting and keep getting the runaround. Get the Jetseat from Andre. It's a bit of a wait but you'll get what you ordered. i7 6700k @ 4.6, Gigabyte Z170X-UD3, 32GB DDR4 2666, GTX 1070, Rift S | MS Sidewinder FFB2 w/ TM F-22 Pro Grip, TM TWCS Throttle, VKB T-Rudder Mk.

Mango Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Been very happy with ButtKicker Gamer2 for years, but have never tried the Jetseat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew u.k. Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 I've ordered the jetseat, but while I'm waiting, I'm making a bass shaker from an old speaker and amp. Very easy to do (apparently). Just run of a USB sound card. Bass shaker and jetseat work well together. Sent from my SM-N960F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dangermouseb51 Posted January 27, 2020 Author Share Posted January 27, 2020 Update... Ok hitting the button on Jetseat, thanks for info.

BlacleyCole Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 I’m wondering if the jetseat and buttkicker would work well together. I’m thinking of upgrading my jet seat to a custom one that actually fits my seat in the pit and keeping the original for back control set when I travel in my Motorhome.

Jim Depends on what sims you intend to fly. DCS does not require the extra software but IL-2 does and you need the recently released beta to take advantage of it.

FETUS Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 I run the Jet Seat with a Butt Kicker. It can be a bit challenging to setup. I use Rift S and run the butt kicker on a splitter cable from a separate sound card. I like running it when doing air to ground with A10 and really crank it up with the GAU. My wife often asks what I'm doing that is making so much noise. :pilotfly: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcq Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Aura Interactor I have used this for the past 15 years if not more, at one point two of them on various pit, it's actually plug and play. the only thing you need to do it take off the transducer out of the vest and mounted on your chair or pit and connect the Amp. Cheap too https://www.ebay.com/itm/AURA-Interactor-Black-Virtual-Reality-Game-Gear-Super-Nintendo-And-SEGA-Genesis/264400536443?hash=item3d8f80037b:g:pNYAAOSw0dpdLKmZ Marc..

That's pretty cool, from 1994. I'd never heard of it before. There's several on ebay, what size is the transducer?
