Also, if you have 3 of them do you have to have 3 amps or do they all tie into the one amp?

October 25, 20214 yr Hello everyone I have a doubt. I only have my on-board sound card. As an PF3 user, for ATC, to avoid BK 2 kicking in the PF3 voices, I only need to install SimShaker Sound Module, SimShaker for Aviators and simconnect? On the other hand, do I need to install voicemeeter too, to filter the voices only to my speakers?

October 25, 20214 yr My understanding is Buttkicker needs an analog single, so if the headset you use is digital, i.e., plugs into a USB port then you need voicemeeter to convert it to analog before it gets sent to the Buttkicker transducer. I've used the Buttkicker for about 6 months now and it does really help with the immersion. It was plug and play for me, I don't have a separate sound card so I used the Y connector where it plugs into the regular sound port and then the other two into my analog headset. and the Buttkicker. Works great. The additional software does looks like it adds more features, but seems to work pretty good without? FSRealistic when released according to the developers will have compatible sound features that will work well with the Buttkicker. Edited October 25, 20214 yr by MartinRex007
October 25, 20214 yr Typically BK gets its signal from say the center channel so yea head phones would need a y connector. bs AMD RYZEN 9 5900X 12 CORE CPU - ZOTAC RTX 3060Ti GPU - NZXT H510i ELITE CASE - EVO M.2 970 500GB DRIVE - 32GB XTREEM 4000 MEM - XPG GOLD 80+ 650 WATT PS - NZXT 280 HYBRID COOLER

I found that the buttkicker mounted on the chair vibrates thru my legs down to the pedals so I found no need for one down there, I have two on the desk for the yoke and throttles. I personally have three amps and three sound cards. Using them in a flight sim doesn't make to much noise so I wouldn't worry too much about that.

I used to use it with a USB sound card , a car amplifier & a bass shaker (transducer which is virtually same as buttkicker I think). Worked great. Just been holding off opus msfs as could not really confirm if would work yet.??? Not worried about the other features of opus just the sound part. cheers 👍👍 Edited October 25, 20214 yr by Riche PC SPECS: WINDOWS 10 X64 , Intel Core i9 9900K @ 4.9GHz, RAM: 64GB DDR4 1800MHz, MOTHERBOARD: GIGABYTE AORUS ULTRA Z390,GPU: NVIDIA ROG STRIX ROG 3080TI 12GB

October 26, 20214 yr Commercial Member TO flyinpilot212121 - I created a small platform for my pedels to be attached to. I then took 1 1/2" metal plumming pipe (6") and and mounted that to the platform. Attached the buttkicker to the pipe. Boy does it work! I use a PylePro Headphone amplifier/mixer to distribute the sound to each Butt and since each one has its own amplifier and volume/frequency control I set for a smooth mix for my body to shake-shake-shake!

October 26, 20214 yr Just pointing out that you don't necessarily need another sound card to use those Dayton type small transducers with the Buttkicker. The Buttkicker has a pass-through line level output which you can just plug into another amp. Those Amazon $40 Mini Sub Power Amps are good enough to get the transducers working. I have the Buttkicker and one mini Sub amp powering two 16 ohm transducers in parallel. The Buttkicker is good but getting the stick/yoke and throttle to hum under your hands is the icing on the cake. Edited October 26, 20214 yr by gboz YSSY.

December 17, 20214 yr Hoping for some help... I got my BK2 yesterday. Hooked it all up this morning. In my race sim I use simhub but for FS I am not finding it as plug and play. @Clutch Cargo how do you get it to work without any software? One sound card or two? How is your BK plugged in, headphones or line out? Anything special in MSFS/P3D? For those with Opus I am finding it a bit meh if I am honest. Just playing with the settings a bit but wanted much more of a ground roll/gear effect. I like the subtle engine vibrations, flaps are way overdone, does anyone have a profile for a 777/787 for example. I may purchase simshaker as well for comparison. I don't like having to have DHM (digital head movement) enabled in Opus as I also use EZCA in P3D. It just seems simshaker was more purpose built. I don't use anything else in Opus but the buttkicker integration. Kind of lost as to my best option. I run primary sound via optical to a recv'r. I hooked up my Creative USB Audigy for the BK2. Should I be using a single card? My ATC is all on a client machine... Any help would be appreciated! Edited December 17, 20214 yr by psolk Have a Wonderful Day -Paul Solk
