there is now buttkicker simulation have you tried this? do you feel your climbs and descents with this or is this only good for taxing and when you land / take off?

 

That's what I have. You don't really feel climbs and descents. You really just feel engine/controls vibration, bumps etc. Taxiing is good, as is the takeoff run, and landings (particularly heavy ones like I do) are great. But I would strongly recommend pairing it with an addon like Accufeel, which accentuates the effects.

Buttkicker adds vibration, and its good when you're landing/taking off or rolling on the runway

I just bought a 51" Samsung plasma tv  at 1080 P ,and it looks pretty good with 1920 by 1080 resolution. What resolution do you get on the projector?

I can attest on how good buttkicker is.  I've got three:  one for the chair, one for the throttles and yoke and a third on the pedals.  With this type of set up the immersion is great.  As mentioned you do get a real good ground effect but I can also "feel" just when I leave the ground and become airborne.  In flight I get nice subtle vibrations in clean air, notice when I hit turbulence or when I add speedbrakes I can feel the vibration... very nice!

Do you have 3 amplifiers, 1 for each one? Or can you split the output to 3 buttkickers?

I have three amplifiers.  I can fine tune each one to get a good overall effect throughout my body.

Did you split the audio input to the buttkickers or do they all have the same audio stream?

yes i am not using a screen, i am just using the wall, it is a off white colour so it suits me fine.

Do you run it off one PC?

hi, i am using a pc instead of hooking up your monitor at the back of your pc, all you do is hook up the projector.

They all are connected to the same audio stream which has been split out of the PC audio.. if that's what you mean.  Same source - split three ways.

Of right! Of course.

hi, the projector is a 1080p so i assume 1920 x 1080.

You can get a 1080p projector for $1000 these days! A much better deal then lcd tv if you ask me!

and short throw too ! 

The 51" plasma Samsung smart 3d TV 1080 at 1920 by 1080 resolution was $799.99 at Future shop (Canada). With a long HDMI cable, the results are good.

I think that very high resolution projectors would be out of my price range.
