September 17, 201510 yr This sounds like quite an immersion enhancement, but it all looks a bit cluncky. Does anyone use it and if so, are you able to provide your experience as to whether it is worth the investment? Cheers
September 19, 201510 yr Definately worth it. Its pretty much a plug and play device, and other than the cable is invisible. I would hate to fly without it now... My cockpit build has meant Ive just replaced my desk chair with a real car seat, and I spent a long time building in an upright post for the bk2, but it failed to generate the usual vibrations. Instead I mounted it sideways onto a crossbeam under the chair, and good vibrations are back! Im not going to get full motion, so the bk2 is pushing the limit of reality and immersion for me! - Paul Elliott http://www.avsim.com/topic/450607-amy-johnson-london-to-australia-attempt/

Does anyone use it and if so, are you able to provide your experience as to whether it is worth the investment? Cheers Had mine about two months and love it. Definitely adds to the immersion factor. As Paul says definitely not clunky and it's only the one wire to the chair that needs to be considered. I do use it with Opus weather/cameras so cannot comment on how it goes without these. gb. YSSY.

September 21, 201510 yr Author I do use it with Opus weather/cameras Hi gb What do you mean by that? Why is the Opus weather/camera utility specifically significant is its functionality is based on sound? Definately worth it.
