My off duty supervisor (wifey) got me a Buttkicker Gamer 2 for Christmas and I think it will be one of the best addons for my home cockpit when it comes to full immersion. I made a custom attachment for it and placed it below my seat, and after doing a quick test, I think it really makes the whole setup come to life, literally.

 

Anyone else has any recent experience with this? I have both my low and high cutoff filters off and adjusted the volume so that it does not clip (red light), but was wondering if there are any tips for using it with the Cessna 172.

No experience, but I have heard good things about it. I'm pretty interested myself...

 

Will be good to hear what you think after getting some runtime with it.

When this first came out, I was really keen on it and I bought V1. But for me, there are just too many wires and cables about and I never did use it.

Yea, once I start messing around with it a bit more, I will let you guys know. Duke, I don't know about the first version, but this 2nd generation has only 1 cable that runs from the buttkicker piston module itself. That cable runs to the amp which can be setup somewhere that doesn't bother you. The package comes with a pair of rubber ties which are used to secure the cable to the chair.

You'll luv it BrimmerCop. I've got three of 'em. One on the chair, 2nd for my yoke and throttle quads, and a 3rd attached to my pedals. I'm a shakin' and a bakin' all over. Beats taking quarters down to the local motel for their "vibro bed"!

 

Merry Christmas

Sounds great, I guess when I finish my studies here and get own apartment I might start investing into hardware a bit more than build myself nice home cockpit with these things too.

I own one (Buttkicker Gamer 2) pretty awesome stuff new rebuild so have to get it back up and running if I remember how lol good luck with yours.
