    you could write individual profiles yes, or just do one and use the main profile editor in game manager to reduce percentage overall.. So for yourself, 100% , for a kid 90%. Thats what I do on my hire sims.
    Bass shaker support is being worked on , not sure about driving FFB unless you are planning to make your own wheel.

    @bsft 's foot mount Sim is what brought me to the forum and inspired me to build my own. Like I said on a previous thread there is such a wealth of information on this site, that even if you have no intention of building a sim, some of the posts are fascinating generally.

    I am sure @Krebstar you will get everything you need from the members on here. I know I have. It's been great!

    Forums that are actually useful and not full of elitist members are a dying breed.

    I seen a video on YouTube or maybe on here where someone used a xbox pad vibration pack on the brake pedal for pedal press vibration looked like it worked well not sure how he got it working but can't be that hard to figure out with all the great minds on here;)

    That's kind of what I was thinking. Have a little shaker motor on the back of the pedals that would get faster ( PWM?) as your speed increases.

    You can feel it. I feel more wtih my simvibe though. 2 transducers on my pedals. Bigger the motor bigger the weight more the feel
