Congratulations on your purchase!
Actually, I went into CLS2Sim after I replied, and I think I may be able to remove one of my criticisms. I had said that you have to manually change the profile when you change aircraft. Turns out that there is a button on the profile that says something like, “Link to current aircraft”. So I assume that’s what it does. I never would have found that if we weren’t having this conversation!
The Honeycomb is great, from what I can tell. I think it is tied with the Virtual Fly YOKO+. Each of them has pluses and minuses, in my opinion.
The Buttkicker is a haptic feedback system. You attach it under your chair and then you can feel the engine vibration in your chair. By default, it hooks up to your soundcard’s speaker or headphone jack and any sounds that come out vibrate your chair. That’s the base configuration. What really makes it worth it are those two other Simshaker software packages I mentioned. If you get that and get a dedicated sound card (a cheap USB sound card would be just fine), you can then configure it so you feel the landing gear deploy or the flaps extend or extra drag on your plane when you turn. If you get multiple Buttkickers that can attach at different places on your seat, you can feel yourself touchdown on the left or right landing gear first before touching down on the other (you would need a surround sound card for that, though).
There’s a really long discussion about it here:
