Anyone using a Buttkicker or the like?

Quote from Ozav8r

I use the Buttkicker and while it WORKS in AFS2 (using audio rather then USB input) it is very subdued due to the minimal range of audio spectrum generated by AFS2. Works MUCH better with X-plane and DCS!

I use BK, with a dedicated amplifier, and I can shake the chair pretty well. I can also filter the bandwidth and I don't think there is any spectrum issue. Yes sound channel is not the same as if we had a motion channel, but still it works pretty well. Now if I could get the audio in the rift and the BK at the same time without using some 3rd party crap software, that would be ideal.

Incidentally I only fly stuff that makes noise (jet, helo, F4U, etc..), no surprise airliner don't shake much, that would be the point usually.

That was one of the nice things about switching from Rift to Ody -steam vr sound mirror. Downside was losing the ingame window for flight plans and approaches.

You have tried Voicemeeter I hope? If you haven't - give it a go. Excellent donationware to split audio-signal inputs and output. Works really, really well for exactly what you want to do - run the Rift and the Buttkicker at the same time.

OVRdrop is pretty good. Love how you can hide your windows on the back side of controllers and have it increase in size only when you look at it etc.

I gave it my best shot but found it way too clumsy and frustrating. I was spoiled when Rift brought out their fantastic built in version. Jan keeps saying ipacs will build something and i’m holding out for that.
