ButtKicker and the DC-6

I’ve got a ButtKicker Gamer Pro. I fly the PMDG DC-6 almost exclusively. I use their HaptiConnect app. The only thing I’d like to improve on is the “RPM,” because it feels … “lopey” - like if there were 4 beats, the “hit” would be on 1-3, and missing beat 4. I think it should be a constant vibration like some of the other stuff, dependant of course upon the RPM. Other stuff, like flaps and gear, feel right.

Haven’t really gotten into tweaking the sliders. I find that if I slide the RPM slider much over 50, I get peaks on the ButtKicker amp very quickly, and that’s certainly not what I want. Any thoughts on how to improve this?

You need this. SimHaptic - Haptic Software for Bass Shakers – rkApps

Best software out there to run buttkickers for MSFS

Ditto that… it’s the best software for the ButtKicker

Thank you both! I am definitely going to check that one out. The Buttkicker one definitely has room for improvement.

You can really fine tune the Buttkicker with SimHaptic, it will keep a separate profile for each plane you “tune” Have fun..

I’m 3 minutes into my first flight with SimHaptic, and I’m glad I got it.

The native software is very basic.. SimHaptic rocks!

Just coming back to this one after a good 20 hours of use. SimHaptic is the way to go. Definitely recommend.

Glad to hear it worked out for you! That company also makes a great “effect” add on called “FSRealistic” It adds visual shaking, brake squeals, runway noises, flaps sounds etc.. very cool program.

Already have that one. Flying without FSR and the Buttkicker just seems so sterile! I know my little 2lb transducer and 90w Buttkicker amp can’t replicate the full rumble of four P&W R-2800 CA-15s, but it does help. Thank you again for the suggestion.

Same here, I can’t fly without those two programs.. and Sayintentions AI ATC, that is an amazing program.
