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.  

I've seen some say they have it running without any software, 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 P3D or MSFS?

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 also don't like having to have DHM (digital head movement) enabled in Opus as I also use EZCA in P3D. 

I may purchase simshaker as well for comparison.  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 via optical into 5.1.  I hooked up my Creative USB Sound Blaster for the BK2.   Should I be using a single card?  My ATC is all on a client machine... 

Any help would be appreciated!  Kind of lost here.

I use it with simshaker and the sound module, you need both, and the second one is payed, but worth the money...best option is to have a dedicated classic pci-e sound card dedicated to the sound module that feeds the buttkicker, works flawlessly like that.

Thank you!  After trying Opus I think I will try that next...  I take it simshaker has no dependancy on it's own views and head movements like Opus so no conflicts with EZCA?

Simshaker is only dedicated to haptic feedback, so no conflicts with anything view related.
