VR is great, but still young and growing. But also out of the question for some of us as far as cost is concerned. But haptic feedback is also a huge jump for immersion and worth considering. Me and Stele have mentioned the Butt-Kicker. Last year I did a kickstarter for a Woojer haptic vest for $200, which I just received. I actually kind of prefer the butt-kicker. But strapping on a haptic vest does feel like strapping on a chute. Which is also awesome! What I'm trying to say is haptic feedback is another huge immersion factor to consider and it isn't as expensive as VR and doesn't affect sighting a bandit! When I say huge... This clip expresses what I mean very well! "IT'S GOTTA LITTLE KICK"..."OHhh YEAH BABEEEEee"

I take it you have the Vest, Jak? Also, does it complement or clash with the buttkicker? ... Gone for it anyway... ! 20 left at 34% off... I get Jak's point. It looks just like putting on a lifejacket I use everyday... Not dissimilar to:

I take it you have the Vest, Jak? Also, does it complement or clash with the buttkicker? Yes I have it. Haven't tried it in conjunction with the Butt-kicker yet. I was using Voicemeter to run two outputs for the sound and butt-kicker. Just installed Voicemeter Pro and I can run three outputs sound, butt-kicker, and Woojer. It works I just need to test it in the cockpit. LOL These are free, but only $5 donation. Voicemeeter www.vb-audio.com/Voicemeeter/index.htmVoicemeeter Pro www.vb-audio.com/Voicemeeter/banana.htmWill be embarrassing if I stroke out on coms! LOL

I meant by too much excitement or vibration. So one issue I have with the vest. I think it is Bluetooth latency. The vibration feels maybe half a second behind. Noticeable, especially against my butt-kicker. Tomorrow I'll look into it more. Maybe there is an update, or maybe my PC Bluetooth needs an update. Latency isn't an issue when your listening to music on a headset. But syncing between a headset and say PC sound? There is also a 3.5mm and USB cable that comes with it. I will look at that also... just another tether! LOL

OK... So Bluetooth is a sadly a no go because of latency, lags like half a second behind. Very noticeable.
But using the USB cable and with the Butt-Kicker on.... OMG! So this represents wearing the chute/harness and the vibration through the harness and the seat!
Well... Now I want the stick and rudder peddles involved! LOL My s**t is totally gonna fall apart from the vibration. But what a way to go!!!! LOL
